My Little Red Book

by
Matthew Marrero

This booklet contains a few of my work over the Global haiku course. It has been awhile since I have taken creative writing, and taking this class helped me remember what it felt like to write again. Most of my haiku enter my thoughts and emotions, others are what I’ve observed or experienced. I hope you enjoy “My Little Red Book”

hidden behind the clouds
the moon's rays
penetrate

city lights
loud music 
YOLO

one eye,
anchor tattoo,
eating spinach

fallen angel
Where did
you come from?

thinking of her
on a rainy day
silent home

you are my almost,
the could have been,
but I am your never

red rose
with many thorns
can I hold thee

sitting beside her
an endless silence 
never again
