The first two ("Un-pretty Maroon" and "Nihilistic White") are haiku variants that also appear inside my new poetry chapbook, "Blue Stingers Instead of Wings" (which I will link to below).
The third one ("I Hate My Guts") is a haiku that does not appear anywhere else.
The fourth one ("Another Me") is a newer poem that also does not appear anywhere else.
The first three have some accidental formatting errors, so I'm going to place correctly formatted versions below.
***
Un-pretty Maroon
My creative flow
starts internal ambience,
then begins screaming.
I revise my screams
into un-pretty maroon
that will speak for me.
Words obliterate
words into non-existence
if I don't feel real.
Nihilistic White
Fresh white snowflakes fall.
Shimmer down, glitter the ground,
grow into cold gloom.
Nihilistic white
witch, ice queen growing darker.
Overtaking light.
I Hate My Guts
Ugly fat preys on
my ribs. Tries to hide them with
menopause gut punch.

"Blue Stingers Instead of Wings" is my new poetry chapbook, recently published by Pure Sleeze Press, in which these first two haiku variants also appear, as well as eleven other poems.
