i still think about
you and me in the backseat
love was just a lie

Overflowing love,
She is always serving
Others, not herself.
something happens -
big hand of clock moves forward
fraction "a perhaps "
The sounds of the waves,
Holding your hand and mine, blue.
Eternities, swift.
‘Did you bring the flag?’
asked Neil. ‘No, you said you had
packed it’, Buzz glared back.
‘And here are your gloves!’
Dave’s 1 year old stood in goal.
Dave took a run up.
“Don’t waste eggs,” said John.
But Jack just loved cracking them.
“It’s the sound,” he said.
The bath overflowed.
Bob suggested Anne get out.
Simon got out too.
‘Brilliant!’ said John.
It was clear John had no clue
what kidney stones were.
Drawn in through lips
Soul leaves this body
Wisps of smoke.....
deeper into bed
what of it that this spring day
undeniably sun?
Hobbits
Short, merry people
They shy away from "Big Folk"
Halfling hole-builders
Dwarves
Beards, long and bushy
Standing stern and unyeilding
Mighty axe-wielders
Elves
Immortal beings
Bowmanship unparalleled
Both agile and wise
Dragons
Their scales glinting bright
Flying high above the world
Fantasies in flight
Coming Storms
Rain, a distant haze
Clouds hang on the horizon
Thunder overhead
Owls
Eyes held wide, watching
They glide on swift, silent wings
Mysteries in flight
Castles
Vast stronghold of stone
Never cleaved by axe nor sword
Standing evermore
Warriors
Swords beat on shields
Spears glinting in the bright sun
Marching to battle
Trees
Arms reach for the sky
Strong roots break through rock and earth
Leaves sway in the breeze
I AM The Monster That Walks
Made By Loved Ones
Their Love Was An Illusion
The Unloved Heart
Hardest Stone
Melts With A Glance
The Stone Waits Alone
Winter Winds
The Sand Is Patient
Poplar Branch Bends
Sparrows Weight
Now Spring Comes Late
Lone Ranger am i
unaccustomed to partners
Now has open heart
zionist flies home
and forty five years later-
expat kids go back
pink sweater, headband
turn to rubies and gold in
the magic free box
selective service
will not want me when i fight-
on the other team
in the beginning
I saw you in your mother
You were amazing
In a spiritual drought,
Lost in fear and doubt?
Without love, there’s no way out.
things made of paper,
like Life: fold, bend and crumple
weighted by It's words
her beauty's too bright
but, i'll never close my eyes
and risk losing her
Michael Phelps swims
like a sperm, and I
bet his are pretty damn good too.
be my jewish boy,
be my matzah ball man,
light my menorah. ;)
After long days, I like to get naked,
and watch nickleodeon.
thank you, Mr Trey Songz
for making music
and her panties drop.
Sad moonlight gazing,
Shining dimly landscape blues,
Swing dancing aloof.
A ghastly feeling,
Peering through the muddy glass.
Knock, knock. Are you home?
I'll dance wistfully,
Thinking of the swaying sea,
I swim on the floor
At night or during day
I stand in the wind
and sway
Silent and still
outside: calm and clear like a mask
inside: wild and thorny, with no restraints
Smile plastered or smirk hidden
which side will win
Murder is murder
No matter the position
Fetus or felon
Nonfiction is true
Fiction is like butterflies
Flying away now
Arguing with peers.
About things they do not know.
I know, sure I do.
watching into shrine
at the snow-flower petals
trace of conductors
The flower is still
The wind has long been dispersed
The summer remains
Aerobic for me.
Anaerobic for my beer.
Respiration now.
As I gaze again
Time passes like butterflies
Floating in the wind
Shooting through the stars,
The aliens attacking,
I grab my laser!
Swaqqer's what I got!
I got so many friends see!
You don't believe it?
I am just a man.
I am not anyone's hero.
I walk all alone.
Sniffing in the snow,
nose pressed to the frozen ground,
where is that damn bone?
Write a haunting verse.
Something that captures your soul,
And won't let you go.
I am thankful
now the holiday is past.
I can breathe again.
Happy Turkey Day!
said the fatted Easter calf,
not knowing his fate.
I grew up believing
In monsters, fairies, anything
Just not God
She stumbles and chokes
Laughter invades her ears
She runs and never stops
Your digits are gone
Old phone wouldn't turn on
Needs resurrection
the heavy night falls
true love is tested in time
lust equals failure
The soft summer winds
flow through me to remind me
how thankful I am
Summer has faded
Leaves reveal gold and crimson
Fall has now begun
Cool summer evening
People relax and have fun
Work can wait for now
bin blank
full of blank
till garbage jump out
thunder drowns
the twilight-blue dawn
stirring me from
stormy dreams
of you
What can be done now?
Monsters live atop the world
Ghost within our brow...
Political ads -
Require suspended thought
and thoughtless suspense.
My house is foreclosed.
My employer laid me off.
My vote means nothing.
Today we escape,
Escape from this paranoia,
From a world gone mad.
The hungry cat
watching so intently;
the carp feeding
The river
slowly disappearing--
still no rain
Delicate and bright
the flowering redbud tree:
memories of you.
This hot drought-
how the grass crunches
under foot!
Sun rays beam
on other side of earth
span of hibernate,
prevail my world.
Lucent moon
cover me blissful.
Shown me sign,
though you are away.
sugar castle melts
moat of cream, black coffee rain
pie completes my dream
Give me one
I'll give you three,
I love to repay,
Where is the focus?
child in distress
under diress
coughing up thoughts of younger days
pasty white
thundering in the wind
you guessed it, my thighs
rain stopped for a while –
tired with the drops’ patter,
roses’ petals doze
I am a white soul,
full of holes, red and black stains.
I was an Angel.
This is a haiku
The last statement was a lie
I am a liar
Solitary flesh
Depression stalks barren soul
Spring sun sets anew
White stork flies away
A lake surmounted with stars
There do my thoughts lie
Shadows dance in fire
Shrouded by the waving trees
The night had arisen
Sunbeams bounce through glass
Reflect off the pool within;
Water of my soul
Small bird on window
Trilling out tunes of springtime
Singing my heart's song
Dancing by the moon
Jewel studded beach sand gleaming
Like dark waters below
Acid trip
Through countryside roads
Bat country never so blue
I sleep
then awake
still it is now
scorching sands
brushed by time
hide secrets
pebbles
like eggs
on the riverbed
night owl hooting
near the barn
steals my silence
nougat bricks
marshmallow circles
cause my dentist to smile
glorious sun
shimmering orb
drying my wet shirt
lone telephone pole
standing silently pronounced
in carefree splender
S A Martin
tall willowy oak
with long spidery fingers
for catching the wind

I am an Otter
I have a shell on my chest
I'm a water type

She is my best friend
She thinks that he will hurt me
I really hope not

Haiku's can be fun
But they can be confusing
Refrigerator
Flying butterfly,
emerging from the cocoon,
sad in the daylight.
Little shattered heart,
hanging, resisting, bleeding,
smiling in the dark.
The hill covered in
bare trees. The evening wind
rocks them gently.
Blowing in the wind
Leaves swirl in the cool breeze
Drifting in the streets
I create myself
In the image of my dreams
To at last be me

On the sidewalk-
so many earthworms
after the rain
A midnight speck of light
glimmers without hope
and the smoke leaves the ash without life
The taste
of the first summer rain
But sheilded and blocked by the black umbrella
This spring day--
behind the rain-clouds
a full moon
Can someone please help
I cannot view my haikus
That I made today
-------------------------------------------------------------
How do I do that
Please don't reply in haiku
Thank you for helping

I am getting good
At these things called haikus
Isn't that just perfect
Small Fish
No leviathan,
bit I'll take him any day.
A trophy to me
The Rule
The water
dictates a trophy,
not a scale.
A prelude in Piano
The piano plays
softly my life's harmony
in deep agony.
A dew on lily pad
A dew on lily pad
Shines with a beautiful smile
Knowing death is near.
Picture Perfect Scene
You tried to find the right words
No one else could say,
But courage was lacking.
in the darkness
I find peace and a pencil;
one is useless
Laying in my bed,
staring at the closed curtains.
Should I rise or not?
Your facebook page sucks!
Your bikini wax described
in Times Roman font.
While life slips away,
with narcassistic rapture,
you blather nonstop.
She came in the door
Time passed
Then she was gone.
Three stones together
Nestled in the earth
Morning dew sparkling.
Morning light
Shining thru the trees
Midnight moon.
Snowflakes dance outside
Resting on the window ledge
All is silent now
Not much fun--
cold night, asthmatic cough
and lonely Christmas:
no quiet place within
no fresh start for the New Year
--R.K.Singh
Birds in flight through sunrise skies,
Winging through the dawn.
Feeling morning's warming rays.

Weeping Willow Haiku
open window in a lonely cafe. the wind in my glass speaks volumes. who woke up instead of me today.
My heart beats,
When you smile at me,
I'm falling for you.
Blank eyes staring,
Nothing left to cherish,
forever gone.
These ripe soybeans
silhouetted in sunlight-
rows of soldiers.
No cares and no sleep--
reckless thoughts without knowledge
that tomorrow nears
Rode
The simple sound of rain
Ahh, so butiful and graceful
the smell of sakura trees fill the air...
over lake's surface
watching black swans while soar up
through background of night
walking over noun
time moves forwards step by step
immediately it
Diamonds are sparkling,
Beautiful diamonds hiding
from the scalding sun.
Adventurous sport,
Neoprene clad looking good,
Dudes flock to surf spots.
Paddling with waves,
Standing with our feet apart,
Riding the surf in.
Tree thinks of Dearg,
Remembering the red board,
And sharing the waves.
Wiped out chaos,
Instinctively cradles head,
Ready to again.
My secrets haunt me,
The large mistakes I have made,
Keep me up all night
Where were you before?
When i needed you the most
I felt forgotten
Your eyes are crystals
We made regrets together
Deep down, I'm sorry
The tears have started
They won't stop 'til you are here
Here, within my arms
You are beautiful
Don't let anyone tell you're not
They would be wrong, love
They stand all alone
Waiting to hear the gunshots
Dropping side by side
The waves roll higher
Towering over the sails
Crashing down fiercely.
What was I thinking?
Knew I shouldn't be driving...
God, I hope she lives...

Today is Wednesday
It will be very muggy
I will need water
brushed by barren boughs
September leaves painted in
the blush afterglow
daynight--
moonshadows
washed in
winter starlight
The parakeet sleeps
The monkeys ate bananas
The mouse laughed at them
Two beasts bear their fangs
A meal too meager to share
The law absolute
Moist icy tingle
Twisting gently down my skin
Drips from head to toe
Cooking on the grass
Cool sweat drops starts to sizzle
My flesh starts to peel
Tension grasps my throat
Like a thirst that can't be quenched
Anticipation
Slapping, Sweating ,Gasp!
Touching, Grinding, Writhing
Your touch, Ecstasy!
Two second to go
A silent prayer is made
Buzz!!! We win it all….
All odds on their side
A moment's hesitation
They fear who we are
I let the ball fly
back of my throat, I taste it.
Victory, triumph!
A passing feeling
Behind my ear, a faint voice
Tragedy echoes
It just isn't fair
A brother taken too soon
But what can I do
A friend dearly missed
A brother taken too soon
A world left to mourn
---DREYGA2000
Spring
Sticky, oozing mud
Seeps into my soggy shoes
How I detest spring
Spring
Fresh buds sprout from soil
As rain sprinkles from the sky
Winter has now left
~Chrissy
On the sidewalk
the first worm of spring--
frozen and flat.
Rode
The computer's hum
reassures and reminds me
I am not alone.

feeling numb again. till the next victory then, the bitter taste lasts.
There sits here a cake
Smaller it slowly becomes
Its life sliced away
It's time to return
To see faces, I adored
The eyes, I avoid.

Sitting on a rock
the immensity of the sea
- my small existence.
Walking along the beach
the waves - splash!
my skirt's wet.
Tormented by pain
The old man sighs his last breath
and walks in heaven.
swimming blind by great white shark
swimming for the light
swimming in the dark
Mind's dense witty dark lines grow pretty
up from garden
down to city.
Wound new's rubied, iron old's ruddy ;
red blood tastes rusty,
wet rust runs bloody.
Craziness.
You work hard at your work,
but that's a kind of laziness.
"Why's grapefruit, Rani, your favorite treat ?"
"It's like my life ---
bit bitter, bit sweet."
The mum you crush squawks no squawk ---
she yields her life
to perfume your walk.
Clock ticks endlessly
Time marches forever more
eternity hurts.

Have A Confession,
Roses Yours, Chocolate Yours, And
Diamonds Yours Too, You Mine.
A great two hour nap
so very rudely disturbed,
I will destroy all.
Life is cold and lonely
People leave
Time passes without going by.
I am not so proud
Heavy hands are stained with sins
This life is broken
As if sealed in glass
The frozen branches are still...
I am missing you.
With ice and darkness
The world is wounded again -
You have gone away.
Haiku by Ilinca Bernea:
Frozen time of love
Like a standing wave
Like a boundless square...
*
Rising sun hidden
In the dust of past still shines
Through the dreams' hot wind
*
A savage snowfall
Your image like a deep trace
Cut into my soul
*I’ve gained a mountain
At the lottery of stones
Once upon a time
*
Borderless sunset
Angels smiling through desert
Feeding my sunrise*
Winter distant sun
My heaven captured in the
Summer rain silence
*
In the lake's mirror
Strange reflections of our lives
Bright and dark shadows
*Wind and falling leaves
Our dreams going away
To nobody's land*
My bleeding conscience
Covers in a painful breathe
The taste of your sin
*
Lights' rain beyond storm
Nothing changes for realBut somewhere inside...
*
Strange waving nature
Whispering leaves of the trees
Chasing the darkness
*
The violin's bow
touches the face of the sky
better than the wind
*
There is no false path
Only wrong steps following
The call of bad dreams
*
Goodness is no more
than the nature's symphony
whispered in the heart
*
A flying machine
can have wings, can cross the sky
but never can sing
*
Butterflies don‘t dies
they are as eternal as
everlasting dreams
*
Each stone of the road
has been part of the body
of a big mountain
*
the starry night‘s peace
follows our destinies
like a magic lamp
*
is this a shadow
or the spirit of eagle
dancing with the clouds?
*
the soul's change of skin
tastes sometimes like grief or death
springtime comes with mud
*
night of december
with no stars to beseech for
a bright destiny
*
is this a counter
for the bitterness of life
or just november?
*
somehow is early
somehow is late somehow is
just the right moment
*
today we are one
beyond sorrow and restless
gathered in a pray
*
the autumn gets dressed
in yellow green red purple
but its heart is gray
*
the salt of the earth
in not under the ground's skin
but into the sky
*
The trees are sometimes
As proud of the rain as men
of their conquests
*
Read the signs of time
in the shapes of the nature
the present is dust
Nothing like cliché’s
Five, seven and five again.
No exception’s here.
Words stop on my tongue,
Won’t pass through my fingertips.
Is this writer’s block?
Sweetmint bubblegum -
Your tired handbag carries
Secrets, so charming.

You smile. As the dreams shatter
Lips bend in reply.

Hangs on my shoulder.

When I hear mom`s voice
I did not see her for years
I miss her so much
I'm getting older
again just like a flower
withers on the table
I look at the sky,
the sunshine is so dazzling,
and it is so hot.
My dog is missing,
so i look for it outside,
where are you right now?
English is too hard
but I want to try my best
learn, what I can learn
When I think of my
first bicycle I think of
my very first girl.
Why are you so mad?
is this that so important?
I didn't mean that.
summer is coming
sun is shining in our mind
my mind and your mind
Walking down the street
a nice smell comes around me
I think of my mom.
I wonder out loud
why you are not that perfect
well nobody is.
Life is full of joy
so make the most of it and
believe in true love.
Why can't I find you?
Where have you been all day son?
Let's enjoy the day
i might write a play
the concept is intriging
i fear the review
On sunday morning
the sky was lovely indeed
I went for a walk.
Love music for life
Music in many language
Dance sing and enjoy.

old guy back in school
stretches brain to the limit
wonderful to do
you leave without me
i want to follow you but
just watching photos
hurrying to class
i was able to make it
but now sit sweating
i can see the end,
the finish line of this race;
i can see the end.
i see no roadway,
i see no path or crossroad,
am i to wander?
i found what i want,
what i need and what i want;
but life teases me.
where are the promises,
the stories we were told since birth;
is nothing real anymore?
i do not know where,
i have no knowledge or joy;
i am alone and empty.
in previous rain,
she offered me a cup of coffee
and a promise.
luxurious VIP room, heart patient, can't buy life
colourful nature
fades up quietly
absence often haunts
excess blessings,
empty heart,
God forgotton
Walk slowly through life
Look and feel and touch the earth
Notice the spaces.
See in between selves
Spaces are more important
Than what you think now.
Surface is not true
Beneath lies the essence of
Worth that is fleeting.
Only nothing counts
From nothing comes created
Surely we have to.
Stories are mindless
Better to read them than think
Of what we are best.

it doesn't protect your feet

One by one, regrets
ouisxyz
There is frost outside
The cars are rimed with it. So
I close the window

The lonely moon
Waxes ignored, and the tides
Hardly seem to shift

As i write this, you
Are probably working, and
Do not think of me

i distract myself
Thought surface occasionally
Of the coming spring

The city silence
A bus ride of an evening
A spreading numbness

These well-prepared words
The best laid plans of this mouse
A brush of lips, gone
louisxyz
Her profile slopes through
The air. Lips poised, hesitant
With words embryonic
louisxyz
A skyline
Punctuated with cranes
Laced with sirens
louisxyz
The cicadas sing
Their nightly laments. The dust
Cools after the sun
louisxyz
Thunders presence, half-
Imagined, substantiated
By rains in the west
louisxyz
Arranging flowers
The passing of the rain leaves
Nothing tangible

the splendid sea once
said to me sighing "like you,
wish i could weep too."
I don't hear the wind
Play about my ear. I am
Otherwise engaged.

The shadows of trees
Dapple the pavement. The sun
Hangs wintry above

Dawn is quiet on
My street. It is still too wet
To sit on the grass

The bird stays
But for a moment
The branch trembles

She has left her home ,
now with the one she loves,
she is home.

the evening lights up
with heat lightning surprises,
waking up the bats
the smallest whisper
of air is moving the trees,
little birds sleeping
sky quietly clear
while the ocean is humming,
so where is the world
warm nights and hot days,
sunlight wavers in the haze,
sleeping cats slow down
summer thunderstorms
climb out of the horizon
and march to the east
broken promises
stick to us like super glue
just so tired
sleep eat money
what can i do without a penny
more than a pig
little birds play tag
around the grain on the ground,
why don't i play, too
Golden light rises,
Warming and dispersing joy,
On new beginnings.
The red strawberries
in the sink are ready to come
to my mouth good
During summer time,
the sun is glaring brightly,
and everyone is sweating
i looked oo so scared
the thought of love i had, gone
my tears from his slap.
Winter comes early,
so we can make snowman now,
it's a greatful time.
My heart beats for you.
Everyday I think of you.
I want to see you.
Guys Are Like Buses
Miss one catch the next fifteen
the art of a Bus
The stars in the sky;
carry the weight of my dreams,
how heavy it is!
Green, Blue, Taupe
the Peacock feathers I wore
Exotic ? I am !
Take me home today
but it will be tomorrow
I just say miss you
Walking on the moon
no one around to play with
this is very sad.
As I walk by him,
he can't help but stare at me.
It's human nature.
Thinking about you
has become a great pleasure
I don't want to loose
Fathers are like roots
Anchoring our children
And they will succeed
I'm the oldest here
I have fought longer with love
Lost every time.
The red strawberries
in the sink are ready to come
to my mouth now
you and I tangled
up in hotel sheets, basking
in sunlight and sin
thunderstorms all night
rain pounding on the windows
better than cardboard
all that matters is
not who loves you but whom you
have to give love to
I want to do this
to do my poetry good
and make it more whole!
Come and go softly
Leave me with new breath
Winds move forever
Orange light flickers
Shadows dancing on the wall
Kindred flames arise
Submission of seas
Waves crashing on lonely shore
Moonlight’s push and pull
To see the true light
we must transverse all blockades
clarity will come
The splendor of spring
Color explodes in view
Fragrance abounds
TITLE: Trees with Icicles
Enter the valley
Frozen sentinels on guard
move quickly or freeze
AS the day unfolds
we bend and flow through our life
seeking harmony
Tranquil river flows
bidding good day to the earth
as it passes by
Peace comes at days end.
Lifes path traveled, well done
Breath released
Scent of rain on breeze
Shivers course across shoulders
It's coming, you know
Dark clouds scuttling
Over sweels rushing to shore
Gale storms across lake
Coyotes mournful yip
Distant dull roar of freeway
Suburban midnight
Shredded wheat in bowl
Glass and spoon and newspaper
.......Empty milk carton
New van for mommy
Tan Toyota Siena
Old car traded in
Nice guys finish last
At least thats what they all say
But they keep trying
Abandoned kittens
Humane Society kills
How is that HUMANE?
National Health Care
Social Security Dies
Thank you Washington
Let sleeping dogs lie
Its more fun to wake them up
Yawning and stretching
Toy Rat Terriers
Pit Bull attitudes
They think they are huge
Small black and white dog
Alligator in fur suit
He chews on my shoes
Little brown dog smiles
She loves to ride in the car
Hopes to see a cat
Too many lies told
Too few promises were kept
Time for a divorce
Big brown eyes watching
Just a puppy now
I will take you home
Sleep eludes me now
Memories smile sadly while
Passing in silence
Cry "Wolf" one more time
No one will believe you now
You are on your own
Aggravation reigns
Drunk husband makes me insane
Illegal to kill
I look in mirror
Familiar stranger stares
She looks like my mom
Police pull speeders
My dog barks at them with glee
She thinks she's scary
Dawn breaks like an egg
Yellow yolk scrambled or poached
I'll have toast with mine
Small dog is patient
He waits for his tasty treat
He wants it now
a singing lotus
no man would belong to me
nor I to one man
captain of marriage
the jeweled baby mirrors you
and bankrupts my days
good girl no more, no
my white veil masking nothing
white lips burn for you
she's a brown recluse
necrosis taking over
I bury your grave
your sperm - liquid gold
she's chained you with a baby
now this your martyrdom
he loves me with words
you torture me in solace
i find no freedom
Those big North Shore waves
Rolling in from cold waters,
Surfers' Salvation.
Summertime is here.
It makes me want to get out.
And enjoy the heat.
Goodbye father and
Goodbye to my sad mother,
I will be home soon.Wai Fai
where is my new car
i believe my dad took it
why couldn't he have walked
out in the pastures
animals graze peacefully
cars drive past the farms
As a shinning sun
my mother is the light of
my life , i love her
Birds can fly up high
Airplanes can even fly in sky
Why I can not fly?
The bird is flying
It flys high up in the sky
Hope it doesn't fall
My mother loves me.
She has a wonderful soul.
Nothing upsets her.
The city is big
I find myself lost a lot
But always get home
Summer in New York
After the cold long winter
It's all we deserve
Class is interesting
The professor is really rocks
Summer school is cool
winter is leaving
summer is knocking the doors
welcome to the world
I fell asleep to
soft rustling of the tree leaves
on that summer's eve
Nowadays are rough
Evereything is very up
Money even tough
the week is midway
i cant wait for the weekend
only a few days
Please show my Haiku,
so i can go get some food,
but it takes time right?
wai fai
As I close my eyes
I can hear her raspy voice
Saying I'm so sorry
I know I can fly.
Fly with my lovely boy.
Let us fly up high.
Will it rain today?
I hope it comes down heavy
so i can stay in
My mom became old
Brown hair is now turning gray
Changes are scary
I wake up early
the sun in not yet risen
please, five more minutes
in the precipice
the shadow of the stone
falls first(Carlos Seabra)
The small wooden boat creaks,
Oars slip in tired hands – Splash
Sweat rolls down the neck
In the village tank
A shred of mud pot
Teaching dancing skills to waves
Pictures in darkrooms.
I capture your essence, flash.
Still-framed valentine.
Fiddle symphony
Contemporary in night
Synched, as words I write
A little sushi
Now I send my taste buds away
In Japan that's great
the sunset
Bright is the sunset
a gorgeous mix of colors
a perfect days end
Mark your calendar,
Tell me to not count the days;Two weeks until love.
black is beautiful
we can be gracious and sweet
we are plain unique
4th of July
Going to the lake
Cooking hot dogs and burgers
Watching fireworks
poetry like love will lift your heart to new heights or rip it to shreads
spring when flowers grow
tullups, roses,deandelions,
without spring they wouldn't grow
beautiful dadelions blow
in the sky, their seeds get blown
new dandelions grow
STUDY
I study all day
And I study all night
I hate to study
Riding Horses
The wind in my face
Riding freely in pastures
Riding on Sally
Tubing in the Lake
Roughly on the waves
Grit your teeth and hold on tight
Falling off is fun
Seven dead People
Only one to blame this on
The silent killer
Cancer
Little butterfly
are you also grieving now :
as flowers whither
Now the darkness falls
Engulfing me in darkness
Silence is beauty
Long twisted fingers
reach out to the night sky
All is deadly still
pain like a dagger
cuts, pierces, tears apart, wounds, hurts
really crushes me
Now the darkness falls
surrounding me with its black
it's me and you here
The sun is shining
no more winter, no more rain
spring has come back home
April Sunday dawns -
Roses resting in the road -
Prom night's glass slipper.
My house is no more
My money is all gone now
Vegas is so fun
Sunrise on bare trees
in Spring birdsong awakens
Composing haiku
While driving down the freeway -
The fog is lifting
You slice through the wind
Sharp as winters breath
A loyal weapon
(KATANA)
Spring sun through window
warms sleepy cat
my chair covered in hair
Cherry blossoms bloom
They are pretty in winter
But best in spring
The thunder booms loudly
The ground is wet and muddy
Looks like no recess
waves crash against walls
walls fall so slowly downward
downward turns upward
it felt like waking
you found me in a lost world
now I'm a princess
two hands together
feeling temporary warmth
begin touching keys
dark morning...
the sushi bar opens up
for the train station
Whiteness overwhelms
Like an overnight snowfall
Hard to leave brushstrokes
Too tall to see more
Sky - the trees have grown
The picnic grows cold
The plum's weight falls hard
As the rain remains steady
The dog goes walking
Secrecy prevails
Responsibility wanes
Logic is betrayed
knocking at the door
death came to visit and stayed awhile
when he left dad
spring snowflakes
on an open stream -
dreams fade quickly
twitterverse haiku
my life a poem for you
smiles on strangers
wind chimes
or distant church bells
- april breeze secrets
awakened -
sidewalk puddle
by a single droplet
porch rocking -
old man whittles
shavings fall in silence
The cold breezy day
So miserable and grey
The rain is falling
Brain on fire, bright
Scattered pieces, fractal view
Kaleidoscope life
Real, imagined fear
Must not stop, it's drawing near
Real, imagined fear
Warring thoughts like knights
Sword concepts wielded and strike
Severed reasoning
Flowers that have dew
Shiny like a mirror, and
They drop on the ground
The wind sways along
Bamboo brushing against me
Hear it howl now
Curving up, then down.
Meeting blue sky, then green earth.
Melding sun and rain.
Birds take wing on high
gliding over angry waves
back to their safe nests
Sunrise in the east
Sunset in the winter west
Always brought men's best
Nightingale singing
Unlike the church chime ringing
Brought glee and dancing
Mighty lioness
Where is thy throne and prowess?
Crying in disgrace
The heat of sunlight
Warmth and gave all things delight
Tomorrow is bright
Swaying bamboo leaves
Dancing the rhythm of Jazz
Confident at last
Falling leaves of trees
Brown, yellow and sometimes green
A true life story
These sun-soaked grapes
weave a lush purple carpet--
my royal road.
Living in the books,
every day's a new story.
Then comes non-fiction.
I have maple syrup
You have eggs, flour, sugar
Where's baking soda?
Empty glasses shrink,
never to be filled again
by such awful joy.
The weathered white wall
run down by simplicity
was all we hoped for.
Answering questions
for the sake of good letters.
This won't change my life.
nature
clouds sit still above
clear seas arround the mountains
nature's beauty glows
Restless late at night,
the faintest sounds keep me up.
So I write Haiku.

clouds sit still above,
limpid sea surrounds mountains,
nature's beauty glows.
cherry blossom~~~
pink,fragrant flowers,
sweet intoxicating scent,
blooming in mid spring
Dawn. A bum rises
from a parkbench to wash:
walking barefoot in dew.
A grackled elm
melts sleep from these lazy eyes,
filling warm noon with screams.
Down dry, wintry well,
He dropped his bucket. Thud! Splash!
Not empty: frozen.
Clicking on window panes,
Sleet wakes me from dreams of snow:
silent, falling snow
coldness
A cold windy night
blows a blue sea full of ice
and many sleeping ducks.
Chase
green follage bursting
a brown deer runs out
a red arrow chasing
we all pass through life's
storms, cyclones and volcones
to seize souls and selves

By living and enliving
the values we possess

the liquid called dew in new

Dripping down my wall
Rains of spring and winters fall

mental waves I see

its in our souls forever
it will never die
the south is coming
we will retake what was ours
it is overdue

a frog disturbs the
moon’s mirror in old pond
a cloud drifts in time
Wait, take a deep breath
There, right there did you feel it
Now I understand

holding on to frozen limbs
facing northern winds
The birds said to me
If found frozen on a branch
never once felt sorry
The night lightens
And the pillow is cold
Morning whispers lies
