Her heart of stone
Sedimentary rock
Made of pressure
Upon layers of
Heartache and
Pain

The Nature Of Things
The flowers blooming
Comes abruptly, then it fades
The nature of things
Came across this rose while walking this afternoon. I hadn’t noticed it before, and the petals will be on the ground shortly.
Fears A-Plenty
Sometimes
It’s so terribly easy
So allow vacant
Naggings
To drag down
My psyche
Summer’s Sunlight
Summer’s flowers bloom
This season of bursting life
The sun’s energy
My Mission Statement
My mission in life
Make cool dreams reality
Defeat resistance
I had fun crafting this. Seems appropriate to have a haiku as a mission statement.
Lighter Than Air
I’m lighter than air
Drifting up above tree-tops
Wakefulness comes soon
Tonight’s Magenta Clouds
Evrning colors speak
Calling forth the rising moon
Dusk’s magenta clouds
I love summer nights
I love summer nights
So tempted to stay awake
Later than prudent
A Cold Overnight
Each cough
Self conscious
Creating disturbance
Where peace
Should reign
And then think
Of the germs
Launched forth
Looking for a
New host.
Pablo Neruda
Neruda’s poems
Make my heart sing
His words echo
Through my soul
