Masterpiece
masterpiece n. 1. A person’s greatest piece of work, as in art. 2. Anything done with masterly skill. I believe most if not all people understand what is meant by the word masterpiece. Though our definitions may vary, we all have an idea of what we think it means. In the west, we associate […]
While Waiting for a Late Plane
Strangest thing I’ve seen; I think it’s nuts. Airplane seats get smaller to fit bigger butts. While Waiting for a Late Plane While in Cleveland, waiting for an incoming plane which was late and destined to be our outgoing plane, it occurred to me that waiting at a gate in an airport is like almost […]
Thoughts About Winning
Everyone I know likes to win, games, contests, lotteries or almost anything. Winning makes us believe the universe or the (G)god or gods we believe in have noticed us. More, not only have they noticed us, they approve. I’ve never quite grasped the concept that some supreme being, responsible for the entire universe, spared much […]
Simple Complexity ~ Complex Simplicity
Why then must poetry’s meaning be couched Like the imagined sea-sound heard in a shell May fleeting beauty, convoluted truth be vouched Said simply and offered crystal-clear from a well Will it help if I use night to presage age or death Flying birds or forests standing in for nature’s glory Will unformed clay, […]
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 […]
Catching Up
To any who have wondered where I’ve been of late online (I hope there will be one or two) perhaps the following verse will explain. I have been working on other writings, though still trying to edit them into my best form. I’ve also spent some time painting digitally, while I wait for a surgically […]
Want vs. Care
For want of a seed the shoot was lost. For want of a shoot the plant was lost. For want of a plant the flower was lost. For want of a flower the bee was lost. For want of a bee the plant was lost. For want of a plant the food was lost. For […]
Light, A Distant Vista
Responsible, preoccupied, needs, daily duties, urges to create Atlas beneath my half sky inventing my truth in beauty before I’m late Days fast-paced, so full of shoulds and musts to meet and answer When so few seek either truth or beauty; they don’t pay the financier Is shielding the candle flame from darkness worth the […]
TRIKU II
Triku ~ 5-7-5 ~ equals three word Haiku. I try to give them some sense or make them humorous and I think I succeeded in most cases. Here are my next seven. I hope you enjoy my word play. Indiscriminate Inconsequentially Cannibalistic Pronunciation: Denuclearization Mythological Archeology: Memorialization Figuratively Puritanism: Polarization Continuation Politically Antiglobalization Abnormality Technically […]
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 […]
