dangled balls of knitting yarn
where does a bear go
when he gets the urge to play
not in my kitchen, fur sure | |

my extreme distaste for you
is just my problem?
All those who you have betrayed
see at last your desperate poon | |

Wood grows in Earth and Water
Air fans the Fire's flame
Yet yin yang also reveals
That same Wind snuffs the candle | |

Posted: 7/2/2012 4:15:38 AM | We met at the Met
accompanied by old friends
intricate armor
revealing what lies beneath
warriors' hearts intertwined
Monet and mirrors
serendipitous mixture
your ringing laughter
Demuth's Five, Segal figures
Japanese morning glories | |

the young fawn still has her spots
following her mum
then this morn one more appeared
captured grace on film this time | |

Posted: 7/23/2012 2:21:34 PM | time to take a break
to stop and sit in stillness
anticipation
daughter coming from england
with her wonderful husband
for twelve years we've lived
across the great atlantic
precious time flies by
together on a sacred high
sparkling apple of my eye | |

Posted: 7/28/2012 5:35:11 AM | so good to see you, thoreau
distant writing friend
never meeting in person
sharing consciousness
the beauty of fleeting thought
captured like a photograph | |

Posted: 7/28/2012 12:01:25 PM | my dear friend's birthday
now thirty for the twelfth time
or so she would say
almost died one fateful day
paralyzed she shows the way | |

Posted: 7/28/2012 7:33:58 PM | dreamworks being depicted
cadence desire march in step
exuberance youth
suppositions encourage
marathon run with passed torch | |

Posted: 7/29/2012 7:22:28 AM | insight oversight
playing with these words delight
letting go the rhyme
yet habit of this lifetime
still, when in doubt, write without | |

Posted: 8/13/2012 5:38:20 AM | Sarah's medicine
will never cure her passion
adding insult to
injury, her forte, leaves
grand threads brutally butchered
so sad once again
to lose the unfiltered voice
although her pride asks
not to be tolerated
the void left echoes loudly | |
|
| Tanka the original spark (5,7,5,7,7)
Posted: 8/13/2012 7:11:27 AM | the void left echoes
resounding spirits of old
native tribe songs sung
in the hollowed cliff walls
where their hoodoos still stand strong | |
