Early
Too early to rise
Yesterday’s still in my eyes
Please turn off the sky
*
Chill
Morning chill alas
Open windows, smell of grass
Summer’s soon to pass
*
Past
The first school bus ride
Little faces pressed on glass
Good bye to the past

Poetry
Poetry creates
A Panoramic vision
With minimal words

Bloggergy
Bloggergy could be
Energy generated
By bloggers keyboards

Learning
To ask or ask not
To answer or answer not
To know or not know

Morning
Woke today – all’s gray
Sunshine bright next to me lay
Gray has gone away

Children
Children born – then grow
For parents fast – children slow
Clocks tick – parents know
~
Chains
Chains that bond or bind
Two links needed for a bond
Only us to bind

Rebirth
Leaves turn – time to go
Slowly green morphs to yellow
A new tomorrow
Learning
Seasons come and go
Thanks for the wonderful show
Something new to know
The End
I hear the truck roar
Destruction’s outside my door
But trash is no more

No-Ku
No Haiku today
Sunny thoughts all gone astray
Fog of yesterday
*
Ash
Coffee and a smoke
Hot ink burns paper beneath
fumes of wet ash rise
*
To
To live is to love
To love is to share your life
To share is to live

Flight
To live is to walk
To love is to fly on air
To hate is to fall
~
Sunrise
Newborn head blood red
Futures grow, tomorrow’s shed
Day is born, night is dead
~
Writing
Morning pencil dulled
White to black, blank sheets now filled
Pages of discarded time

My Love
A look, touch – A kiss
Hands, bodies – Tactile bliss
Love – Nothing’s amiss
~
My Friend
Heart strings stroked feel heat
Neck caressed long and sweet
Rhythm head to feet

Begin’d
How humans learned
They died for knowledge yearned
Trial and error’d

Day
Red ball rising bright
Children play, escape the night
Natures’ toy of light
Flight
Birds high in the sky
Love to see them soaring by
I wish I could fly
Sneeze
Words infect us all
Shared unintended in breath
Haiku – gesundheit

Positive View
Whenever perplexed
Always look to the high road
The view’s much better
~
Opportunity
When all else has failed
There’s always optimism
You’ve nothing to lose
~
Wave Goodbye
When asked sink or swim
The question’s not sink or swim
But why the question

No Down Side
Creativity’s
not about making things up,
it’s making things work.
~
Conundrum
If love made as much
as the time I spend writing,
I’d no time to write.
~
All Good
Love is beautiful,
when all else is not. Love is
all when from the heart.

Just an Expression
At last old enough
for age to be an excuse
to freely express
~
Heads or Tails
With age comes wisdom
but all things are relative
so wise up not ass
~
Poetic License
Deep down a dipshit
lying in wait to squirt forth
and conquer an ode
~
Earth, Wind and Fire
It’s the last haiku
till syllables dance with lines
in three dimensions

Weathering Heights
With beauty comes love.
With nature comes peace of mind.
Both come change with force.
~
Guess Good
Heaven or hell is.
It’s the instant before death.
Pre and post a guess.

No End
Running on empty,
writing talk of walk the walk,
while crawling on full.

Tried & True
In relationships
when each are always trying
trying it becomes
~
The Vine
Only love and hate
are truly perpetual
False choices whither
~
Hindsight
I’ve seen the future
and it’s only clear and bright
when it’s made that way

Forces of nature,
like myself, follow paths of

Vicariously
I live within my writing.
Life, it seems, is hard.

Only Reflection
Depression is when
the fog passes and the dark
is only more clear

What’s Right
When optimism writ
Pessimism can be erased
Realism then left

Libra-tions
Balance achieved when
heavy hearts and weighty souls
meet a mind on point

Circuitous
Yin and Yang’s never
just black and white, but it is
always circular.
~
Foresight
With age comes brighter
introspection, for the dark
is to near sighted.
~
Just a Peek
Know thyself, climb high,
peaks fleeting, limits unknown –
unless exceeded.

Go out with a bang
only when the direction
you’re propelled is up!

We all pass one day.
So there’s a fifty fifty
chance we’ll meet again.

I think calling Trump
an asshole is degrading.
Assholes are needed.

Beginnings
If the week started
on Tuesday would we look
forward to Mondays?

Arguments
Arguments winners;
Often those who are loudest,
not always correct.

Night
All prey of the night
cling to artificial light
predators delight

Layers
Forests grow skyward
Rains fall and the sun shines down
The rest in-between

Imagination
Imagination
Is to conceive of what is
Inconceivable

Silence
Silence is broken
Lips flap loosely in the breeze
Duct tape fixes all
