It’s my move--By Richard Carl Subber--United States

It’s my move

Swing, my arms. Whirl me.

Touch my world, fingers. Make me feel.

Run, my legs. Move me.
     Take me somewhere.

See, my eyes. Yearn, my heart.
     Tempt me. Test me. Snare me.
          Make me content.

Then, turn, my feet. Take me home,
     but take a new road.

    your haiku last month was memorable: "...the breakfast cereal sounds of autumn..."

    1. Ndaba, many thanks for the encouragement. I respect your willingness to tackle the very challenging short forms of poetry, such as your recent "I Like Her Style"

  4. Loved this! Don't know if I'd be using an agreeable word, but this sizzled me! The things I want to say to so many!
