I’ve Heard
Certainty, it’s said, is fleeting It may vanish upon meeting Or offer you a warm greeting You hope it will last a lifetime Pray that it will be your lifeline Most lose it, such a rife crime It’s ephemeral, so it’s precious Though it can turn you vicious Believe it, it’s gone, suspicious Belief is […]
Short Hiatus
As of today, 10/3/2014, the Pen’s Might will take a two-week break to solve some logistical concerns and to rethink my approach to this blog. The Pen’s Might will return by 10/17/2014. For anyone reading either of my serials, they will continue, but will not be shared after today. If you’ve been reading them other […]
Searching for You
Natural light obscured by swollen clouds Rain-slicked streets offer me no reflection Trudging on, collar high to ward off damp As I turn a corner, searching for this, you A frigid gale shredding the vaporous veil Ebbs, whispering encouraging, revealing Our spinning globe of stars and galaxies This modest corner of infinite space, time So […]
Listening to What?
Dangleling Coverstion Can we find our way to the winding path, Which leads through the woods’ darkness? Hold hands, be brave, support each other; Frightening it may be, but nothing’s forever. This only keeps my hope alive; it must change. Lemmings are weak models for how we march, Lockstep, dead eyes forward, seeing no […]
Counting on my Fingers
My famished soul, hungers, yearns, lingers Crawling through horrors, terror, real, imagined Light-blasted sky flooded, illuminates nothing Offended darkness turns away, offers no succor Sup with the greedy devil, you’ll go hungry always Skeletal fingers tightly grasping runcible spoons The bounty on the plate far beyond your reach Let go, rejoice, count on your fingers […]
Thank You Thank You
For all of you who “like” my work and anyone who follows I do apologize most sincerely for rarely saying thank you It’s not that I’m ignoring you, my mother taught me right I just haven’t found the extra minutes to fix this oversight Since writing occupies my “free” time I thought I’d do so […]
Along Your Merry Way
In the deepest darkest depths of night When all your thoughts shriek danger, fright When evil looms within your sight Dawn will come When wicked winter winds into your marrow bite When storm-dark clouds bring sleet and snow and ice And every day you live feels black as night Spring will come When every urge […]
Life Courageous
What gifts given, received would within my words sing Tripping lightly from my brain, my heart, my tongue Able to express the subtle hopes of anything, everything The true name of all the life and death I live among Would my hearing need to be honed so fine I’d hear the stars in far-flung, long-past […]
Ichi-go Ichi-e
Deep shining sunSea arrayed earth Cold mantle, warm life Within mountains Hidden depths Boiling fecundity Earth sky schism Union of all Apart without separation No center, no edge Universes dance, spin Alone yet unified Self contained, connected Stars firm, wandering Transient earth firm Death, life, lovers Separated by time Joined by nature A kiss, a […]
Headline Haiku
This is my form of haiku which embraces our modern world by using only words culled from the headlines and sub-heads found in my daily newspaper. I hope to discover a sense, a tone of daily life. I do not change words, other than in the use of capitalization and hyphenated words used adjectively. Chronic […]
