Night Lights

Babies bring us joy

Our hope for a future bright

Sharing sleepless nights

Depressing

~

A mighty oak fell

Centuries go unnoticed

Roots of time will tell

Clockwork

~

By day I write

and hide from night

By night I hide from myself

That’s when the demons appear

escaping their hidden shelf

~

They spill my ink

won’t let me think

I’m forced to quit too soon

Then I’m left with nothing to do

until the setting moon

~

The sun will rise

to blurry eyes

And off again I’ll venture

I’ll try to have a brighter day

But darkness remains unsure

Idiot Savant

~

My goal’s now halfway.

I write in rhyme all the time.

Nothing’s good to say.

Servants & Waiters

Await sunny skies

Awaiting truth that’s a lie

All’s waiting to die

Call to Senses

~

For those who listen

Nature’s voice beckons sunrise

New day dew glistens

~*~

Buckle Up

~

Harness happiness

Bound with joy or tears shall fall

Smiles support us all

Dots to Dash

_._

When dominoes fall

patterns arrange, something’s gone

while something is made

Utter Nonsense

Read a bio by

a nymphomaniac cow –

It was full of bull

Stone Cold Memories

~

Pebbles skipped, rings rise

Waves wander to greet the skies

Pebble’s lost, what is gained?

~*~

Puzzled and Clueless

~

The jumbled haiku

A Sunday paper poet

Filling in the blanks

~*~

Unwinding

~

Traveling through time

Searching for the perfect rhyme

Seconds tick, hours chime

~*~

One Life Stand

~

To hatch, toil and feed

Dangers lurk, survivors breed

Spawning death, life freed

~*~

No Strings Attached

_

Often a fine line

separates arrogance from

insecurity

~*~

Inevitable Surprise

~

Early morning chill

tweets subside with fallen leaf

Summers’ fall, Falls’ rise

~*~

Non-Objective

~

Is fiction abstract

fantasy or objective

non-reality?

~*~

Up and Away

~

Sunrise awakens

dreams put to rest, minds wander

another days quest

~*~

Blind Sided

~

It’s all fun and games

Until inevitably

An I gets poked out

~*~

Exercising Imagination

~

Took a walk on the

wild side and ran with the bulls,

limped home, crawled to bed

Static & Dynamic Duo

Please, riddle me this –

Batman, why’s Robins eggs blue?

It’s because of you!

As Goes the Duck

What eats like a bug

and flies like a bug, yet not?

It’s a humming-bird.

Sun Awakens

Victorious star the moons plight

Peaking from the blanket of night

Blank sheets warmly beckon askew

Water boils, beans grind, minds brew

Sheets fill blank to dark with light

*

Air surrounds all with bright

Life returns to deadened street

Sound returns to lively feet

Sun awakens to night’s sleep

Darkness shallow, day is deep
