all designers should be writers

I once read that all designers should be writers while all writers should be artists.  Artists visually communicate their ideas and visions while writes obviously communicate with their words.  The point is that as an artis if you get your mind to start thinking differently the results may change (hopefuly for the better best..however my poor grammar will never go away I am afraid) 

I love the idea of writing poetry.  Always have.  
My younger sister is amazing at it and I envy and respect the hell for her for that gift she was given.  
So here is my first crack at couple lil haikus: 

a calmness is present here
it's comfortable
with time it will cause changes



feathers deflate from heaven
a chill on my neck
but my heart keeps warm after




surrounded by my family
present in photos
i remember that day still




this fan is in my hot face
my hair gets caught up
i miss the days of mittens
