SIJO -Virgin-
#3~"Lost not forgotten"
"A solitary star had gone astray, yawning before the dark,
hiding; straight ward, waver the wink of light, slowly fading.
By my window I shed a tear; I farm the fields of my soul."
#2~"Down-under"
"Above the winter masses, buried, I wait for the sun.
Sweet smelling kitchen, the hunger rise, within, my tongue swings...
Rise away from the table... noisily I yell for my bike."
#3~"Dreaming with the God's"
"Downhill of Mount Olympus, everything felt real.
In the orchard of my dreams, I am structured as a statue.
Mr. Sandman made a fool, of my midnight summer dream."

Six Dancers All In White
In my room late one night, I caught six dancers all in white.
In tutus, flowered caps, and tights, they twirled on tiny pointed toes.
Seeing me, they froze; those living dolls..... mere porcelain again.

Poem
On Tiptoes
Standing on toes, we might be able to see above the crowd
Sometimes it’s better to duck than let what we see enrage us
We must tiptoe softly through the sensitive hearts of others

Poem
AFTER THE FURY
Brazen night winds crash brittle glass of our furious voices
Quieting down, we slowly climb inside eyes lit with dear splendor
A flood of kisses roam north to west of mouths--- drowning stars

Poem
Answered Prayer
I prayed for rain to visit us and to refresh our souls....
The heavens heard, and opened up, pouring water down the rice fields,
Washing off the seedlings that we had planted for a week.

Poem
Cenote
Glimpse an empire in sweated palm burdened with pain centuries old;
Horrors and stalagmites hang in beautiful tragedy Gods have told:
Within soil surrounding bluest calm, such memories you hold.

Poem
Attitudes differ
Thanks to Dr.Ram Mehta for introducing this awesome poetic form to me I had to try it
No two people are the same, likewise attitudes differ
When attitudes conflict it leads to speculation that maybe
Standing down can make you humble not bring humility

Dancing Lilies
,
Dancing white ladies twirl and sway on pointed satin stems
Arched backwards in time, with adagio’s breath in soft fluttering
Clustered flowers dance in evening breeze, folding wings at sundown

Poem
NIght Bird
I hear the night bird lift his soft lament to the clouded sky
When next the rays of sun warm his bower hidden in the thorn bush
He must live his day and keep his sad song for the shadows

Poem
A Montage Moment
Black-headed flowers wear long drooping ruffled petal skirts.
A black crane, statuesque, stands in the tall green grass amongst them.
The tallest flower - distinctively blonde - has arms to touch the crane!
