Briefly 2

Elegant poise
Fashion styles ideas;
Curious clutter


Ride the wind
Watch passion swirl;
Live wit and pun


Love on the run
Words come to play;
Wounded and wounding


Casual acquaintance
Each a stranger then;
Now poles apart


A sojourn here
Briefly with grief;
Sublimate into light


Hear the soft hint
In misty rain;
A voice speaks


Weather forecast
Cloudy and rainy;
Sun decides otherwise


Calm day here
Nothing to play-say;
Words on vacation


Someone told me
Write only one haiku:
Make it the best


I said to someone
I follow my voice;
Why be stingy?


Haiku or senryu wordplay
Or free verse I cite;
Experience exults


In one quick stride
Words play a pun;
Write for the long run


No matter how
I write for me:
Keep my sanity!


And if you come
To read my verse;
Let joy delight


My time is brief
My words urgent;
Tomorrow may not come


To you my friend
I cite the best;
Now go write your own


Here with my verse
Life I observe;
Rhymes taut and terse


Here on this site
I've learnt a lot;
Hurl wordplay fond


Thank You each soul
Who took the time
To read my verse
