This Haiku: It’s Better To Give

There’s a place on gifts
Where, to confound the giftee,
I use extra tape

This Haiku: They Chose To Dance

Promise me we’ll dance
In quiet recognition
Of the year’s magic

What a pretty day
Even the structures are glad
For we have today

I wish strangers knew
How they set my heart on fire
With just a warm word

I remember now
Guiding me up and up, up.
A gentleman’s hand

Beautiful Boy
You Old Soul
You do make Him smile

Picture: Proud Dad
You Gold Soul
That’s the smile He smiles

I’m glad to be schooled
By a master of the truth
It does sting at first

Little Violin
The Frame, The Song You’ve chosen
is perfect indeed

Thank you that you ask
Me to be my very best
For I deserve that

Brothers felling brothers
As if to equalize
Sisters slaying sisters
With words and wand’ring eyes

The pie is plenty large enough
To overflow our cups
Shall we see beyond our fears
And lift each other up?
