May we boldly choose
To follow our hearts, even
Should time prove we’ve erred
Not Hope: A Haiku
Piano Like That
He looked like a man
Preparing
Breath for
The happiest of walks
The most frozen day of the year
He and the sun
Dazzled
My eyes
So I cannot be
So sure he was walking at all
He held a hangered suit coat
Surrounding
Him was
A small line of cars
A possible well-wishing Brotherhood
He had puff to his chest
Relief
Of gaze
My heart asked me to ask
My breath could not and I drove past
Just To Me: A Haiku
boundless: A Haiku
Buoy Back
For so long for certain
It’s been about
Getting up, up, off, off the mat
Jabbing when you must
Ducking if you need
Floating on your toes
Staying off your heels
Yet now I am certain
This looks like a draw
Or someone’s else’s bout
I’m calling it
Strutting from the ring
Still on my game
Setting sweet lyrics to the tone of the bell
siege
lovely as a book
Such is my soulmate
A book
A hardcover Guide To Kindness
This marriage
No industry harm shall it do
Mixing anecdotes, poetry, humor
For love is truly love
Each genre held in high esteem
Original edition, sacred
Mostly Mist
I knew the moment was thick
I knew the air was ripe
And Summer was coming with flowers and all
I’ve not seen such storms since
Electric and flashing nonstop at night
And the garden gave proof at daylight
I knew there were miles to run
I knew there’d be whirring wheels down unknown roads
And I let white petal-thoughts lead
I’d not thought that Fall I’d fall
Rising then falling again and again
And I’ve touched no sweet blooms at all
