Tonight’s Haiku: Life’s Complexities

Life’s complexities
Tranquility’s opposite
Argued with moonlight

A Haiku In Honor Of Martin Luther King

Compassion’s pathway 

Facing down rage, cruelty, fear 

For a gold future 

Reflecting From Stone

Reflection

Staring at myself
Wetted marble captures me
As I seek balance

If you’ve been to Seattle’s Pacific Science Center, you’ve probably noticed the marble sphere balanced upon water. A perfect equilibrium which allows for an ease of motion; it can be shifted with one hand. 

 

Poetry’s Power 

Once I was told
Poetry’s power
Comes from framing
Life so uniquely
That people see
Truths they’re hiding from

Experimenting with using the graphic to separate my prose from the poem.  What do you think?

A Haiku As I Listen To Satie 

Listening to Satie
These binary colored keys
Dancing summer light 

I always envision ImImpressionistic artists as I Lilisten to Satie. Just seems so perfect. Like Bach in cathedrals. 

Success leaves clues: I seek them 

Always keep growing
Study other’s successes
Yes, success leaves clues

I refuse to stagnate. I seek growth. 

Forward Focused 

I now face forwards
Into tomorrow’s sunlight
Working together 
A piece of my life’s mission: bring people together. 

A Rainy Evening Haiku

Moonlight hides from me 

Behind the rain laden clouds 

Spots on my glasses
