Daver Austin Poet Haiku

Memories - Mixed Forms

MEMORIES

a disney moment
woodland      many peeping eyes
the thump of a stump

THE OLD CHEST (repost)

up lid    and
a thousand musty specters cry out
      with memories for but one      
                                        departed

AMUSEMENT PARK

kids on the dock yell
      throw peanut shells
              thrashing catfish

SAD FAREWELL

new year’s eve     with breeze
red and green wraps
                                the old cottonwood

Connie Marcum Wong December 30, 2013 at 11:19 PM Daver, your poetry is "To gaze at a river made of Time and Water and remember Time is another river. To know we stray like a river and our faces vanish like water" from "The Art of Poetry by Jorge Luis Borges". Your verses teach those poets with less experience how to define a musicians notes, a singer's arias, a poet's expression given wings by the poet. You display "The Art of Poetry" in a most exquisite way! I feel honored to be one of your students. Daver Austin December 31, 2013 at 8:00 AM You overwhelm me, Connie. I've never featured self more than (as a musician) a good listener. Please accept my profound thanks for your tireless work in the poet's behalf. You are so filled with love and talent. Love, daver

Michelle Mac Donald December 30, 2013 at 3:52 PM No tooting horns here, Daver. This feels listless and melancholy, like grey mood stones. Super cold and humid outside...won't be a "SAD FAREWELL" when winter ends! Hope you are all keeping warm and happy! Love, Mikki
