where natives once lived
path was strewn with flint flakes
when churt supply Chiefs' concern | |

the skinny fox trotting past
stopped to watch the squirrels
run up the post out of reach
though some foxes can climb trees | |

Minnetonka moccasins

for silent tread when one deems
best to leave a soft footprint | |

more than two years ago now

has taken root, grown some bark
stiffened its spine, time to prune | |

the coarse wind which plucketh thee
finds glorious pine
needles sewing fast as be,
Compact your contract cert-e/ | |

Posted: 6/9/2012 8:57:19 AM | was the longest week
earning money to take home
aching back and feet
at work we seem so tired
but second wind now arrives
want to dance and swim
exercise maybe the gym
parks calling my name
gosh the plans are full of kinks
back to work before I blink | |

open a wall. shackle heckles
drag them beyond under
ones whom have conspired within
discard discard clear path one | |

sunlight dances in the breeze
playing with the leaves
two siamese with me watching
sleeping son recovering | |

Posted: 6/12/2012 6:15:36 AM | my honey ties knots
precisely lacing boat ropes
securing supplies
different styles for each task
he lassoed me in deftly
babe's a fisherman
sunk the hook then let her run
reeling in a bit
then loosening the tether
patience landed a keeper

Posted: 6/17/2012 4:25:39 AM | anticipating
revealing new encounter
a meeting of minds
that have touched through written word
hearing each others' laughter | |

Posted: 6/17/2012 6:33:37 AM | ^^ wonderful! love your last two posts.
anticipation
with courage went to the dance
standing by the bar
that same nervousness rising
until i saw your striped shirt
appeared in my view
someone easy to talk to
friendly eyes of blue
we hung out all night talking
a natural connection
after all these years
a p.o.f. singles dance
went knowing no one
nor plans to meet anyone
found a really good person
anticipation
yet staying in the present
feel relaxation
happy to see you again
in a week we go dancing | |

Posted: 6/20/2012 1:33:45 PM | hey you guys - how about you try and write something tanka-like, or take your conversation elsewhere?
psychedelic greens
shine in the afternoon sun
filling my garden
and my senses with her hue
feeling naturally drugged | |
