Even before this grand lifetime
I have loved you
Everything else in the meantime
I triumph through
Sitting Up Straight: A Haiku
Have I told you yet
It bleeds effervescent orange
The scent of sunburst
Black Diamond
Here is the why
Certain you’d know
The placement and count of each fleck of amber against the jade green
Iris
Knowing for certain
The from-deep red song you’d hear in your blue bluesy
Heart
This is most difficult
Sibyl
she
shall
shine
True Fiction: A Haiku
Through up-side-down eyes
Their learned smiles share this truth
We are all alone
akin
What then
If you’d suffered as I
And I’d shown no passion
No care
To pull you to here from there
Where it’s safe
What then
Could I claim Humanness
Or say I’m your Sister
Come here now
To this side
And thrive
LisaMae
First fearfully made, consecrated one
Then daughter, blessed by a blood second to none
An auntie, to dear flesh -my heart did they steal
Now “Hi Mom” to Tiger, a cub with my zeal
He blessed me, here I stand, in nothing but grace
Surrounded in mercy’s why I seek His face
Collective: A Haiku
Of these eyes you spoke
And of my ribbonless heart
Yes you didn’t know
New York Love
For God’s sake, all you owe her life
To never question her true stripes
The thrill of revving two-wheeled spree
A swing, the stars, the moon times three
Your constant annoyed adoration
Ice cream kisses, consolation
Threshold
Pray may the driving rain be soft’d
By gentle hand and easing wind
Would that the biting cold bring too
Voice sweet as upward floating snow
And as stolen daylight takes
Please bring giving, steadfast legs
So to soothe…lift…carry me
Tho’ I deserve no charity
