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 […]
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 […]

TOO LATE CONSIDERED?
Home Complex confusing and contentious conversations may prevail When sundry family members to the wide world do disperse Traveling from home-based roots, trekking far beyond the pale Lessons learned young may not survive from cradle to hearse Or lessons taught are planted deep, rooting values far too well When elders change their diet, cultivating growth, […]
DICHOTOMY PROJECT
Found Verbiage Free Verse As I’ve begun exploring what haiku, poems and stories can be garnered from the headlines, sub-heads and captions (the bold-faced type) in my local daily newspaper, I’ve begun to wonder what this might say about our existence at this moment in time. Like snapshots, capturing images, emotions, our greater story expressed […]
Ponder Rosa ~ Midnight Rambler
That’s Enough What follows is a bit of a rant, but I found it important to say. I hope you will stay through to the end, and that you’ll be accepting of what I think and believe even if you don’t agree with me. Is it in the blood or in the brainwashing? I’m like […]

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 previously used adjectively. […]
