Arnav's Angle

A few of my Haikus (or not), for you: Raising the bar, day after day. That's how I jive, my way. Thunder and lightening, scare you away, let the dogs bark while you roll your car away. On to the Meadows, oh bright sky. How lovely you feel and give me a high. Dark is the night, controlling your dreams, bright is the day and you're on your way.
