golden husks aglow,
laughter pops beneath the sun,
waves applaud the show....

Toupee
Toupee, or not toupee,
that is the question:
whether 'tis nobler on the head
to suffer the slings and arrows
of outrageous alopecia
or to take wigs against a sea of baldness,
wear them as a buffer,
the whips and scorns stem,
and by opposing end them.
Ay, that's the nub.
With apologies to William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616)

Matsuo Basho: English translations of Haiku about Autumn 1Matsuo Basho: English translations of Haiku about autumn, fall, sea, autumn wind, harvest moon, dark, darkness, dawn, day, life.
First of autumn:
the sea and the rice fields
the same green hue.
—Matsuo Basho, translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch
The autumn wind
like a ventriloquist
projects its piercing voice.
—Matsuo Basho, translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch
Voices in the reeds?
Ventriloquism
of the autumn wind.

Nebulous Horizon
Mist swallows the edge—
sky and sea blur into one,
no clear path in sight.
Yet I walk where light once fell,
trusting stars behind the haze.

Look I Am Popping Away
I love when we sit in the hot bright sun,
add some butter or we will get well done.
Sky and water of ice blue,
better than the dull store view.
Oh! look I am popping so I will run....

The Shore Remembers Me
The seashore knows, the path I tread.
Records my steps, when I have fled.
In prints I cast, the post-card shows,
The path I tread, the seashore knows.
Gulls see my stance, as swells flash past.
The post-card shows in prints I cast,
As wave surge clears, rushing to dance,
As swells flash past, gulls see my stance.
Seashells snatch sighs, replaying...

Losing Face
One may see puffins and parrots
any hour of the week
both birds bear a big colourful beak
the former pelagic feed on fish
and live in large colonies on coastal cliffs
tho' monogamous collectively breed as a bunch
but with renown as the Atlantic sea clown
in Iceland several are served as lunch
the latter arboreal primarily frugivorous
toco being by far the...

IN THE SEA OF LIFE AND THE SANDS OF TIME
IN THE SEA OF LIFE AND THE SANDS OF TIME
As the sun continues to rise,
As the moon continues to wane and wax,
Here I am, continuing to wave on
The wrinkling sea of life, streaming to its shores,
To froth and seep deep into the waiting sands of time;
Here to canvas clanging conch-like echoing footprints:-
As the sun continues...

meteorologist : Sky to Sea meteorite radiates z o o o m m i n g

Three Anchor Bay turquoise
sky dust onto beach white grains
winds sweep cobbled paths profane
a fetus acquires solitary soul lost
womb enlarges posting veins
shine baby blessed shine divine
observation work is thine

MISTY Sea Day
I love the blue water,
as I am rocked to sleep.
The salt air fills my soul,
as I dream far away.
I am awakening,
to a misty sea day.

Rhythm of the Wavesbarefoot on the shoreline, chasing the breeze,
your voice still lingers in the hush of the seas.
the sand remembers where we once stood,
writing our names like we thought we could.
but nothing stays, not even the tide—
it all comes back, then slips outside.
in the rhythm of the waves, i hear your name,
rising and falling, never the same.

SAMADHI: SEA OF MIRTH
Inspired By O.G Nanda a.k.a Paramhansa Yogananda :)
Vanquishing the darkness that veils the Light
from Ashes to Dust to Illusions of Night,
Sailing Adrift to Shores of Bliss
Sinking Ships that drift Aimless, Mindless, Succumbed by the Abyss
Yesterday, Tomorrow, Death and Sorrow
I Conquered all these for Duality is Eternal beyond where...

By the sea
i often wonder about the why’s and where’s
why the sea scent permeates the air
and where it wanders so across the land
why the waves unfurl without a care
and where it is they toss the sand
why the moon freehands its glitter
and where its drifting loot is carried
why time spent in contemplation is never lost
and where our serenity...

Child Of The SeaI was a
poet
you
were a sailor
Waves
came in couplets
words
in the brine
I was
reborn
with the ocean
in rhythm
Released
in its wonder
forever

Water KettenWater is always my release,
release of that impulse to dive.
Dive fish-scaled and iridescent,
iridescent swells the water.
Water quiets and feels like home,
home undulates but stays sacred.
Sacred like every rolling wave,
wave that binds my soul to water....
