We’re together now,Prise: A Haiku
His eyes ripped from him
His willowy walk stricken
Will bring back my smile
Haiku Smile
Why, along the way
-despite the mountainous fires-
not venture a smile?
Dame
This eye in the sky watching
Always cheering
Chasing
Some beauty it never plans to catch
Smiles, therefore
Without any hesitancy and evidence
Of braces or trammels of old
You’ll see
How Happy
Do you wonder
How I can tell
What is your tell
I see into windows
Frost-covered and wishing for shutters
For the passage of time
And inside
A frozen home infested with uncertainty
Inhabitants fleeing or fled
Some foundation
Proud, I think, given its lack of examination
Not wanting the neighbors to know
For Father’s, In Advance
For the fathers who found me right where I was at those given times, and right on-time
You, who, with green eyes, blue eyes, and blue-green eyes
Loved me with a love that helped me grow tall, be tall, and stay tall
Thank you for the canned vegetables, the frozen vegetables for-the-first-time-in-a-lifetime, and for the fresh-from-the-farm-and-roadside vegetables
Though some would seriously judge, I needed your yo’ mama jokes, bar room jokes, and first thing in the morning jokes, to remind me to smile
-you showed This firstborn how to be Serious Business, after all-
Thank you forefathers, for being my fathers, for being there then, and though elsewhere now, for being still here nonetheless
Sunshine Peak
Once a mountain there was
And a woman most worthy
As any woman is
Taking aim, then falling away
With purposeful looking
Set sight on a different mountain
On being a different woman
And she is allowed
As any woman is
Short again: A Haiku
All day yesterday
The word rang around me, “smile”
I cannot force one
