Poor summer sunshine
Greenhouse a wealth of flowers
I fill many bags

Haiku 60 – Indiana Summer
	
	
	Indiana 
	orange roadside lilies
	rural splendor
	 
	
	Indiana 
	elephant’s eye corn
	no tassels yet
	
	
	Indiana
	endless green soybean fields
	rich farmland soil
		
		
	a strange beauty
	stark yet soothing vistas
	Indiana

60 Seconds


Gruelling nights with haunted dreams
Explosions tearing at my seams
The worst, last night; I couldn’t sleep
My expendability made me weep.

With dawn awoke a brand new day
A deathly mare in my mind lay
And there it lay until at last
60 seconds had oddly past.

60 seconds not thinking...

From feigned blind darkness that falls into night
     Where no heart could beat in a cheerful rhyme
     As all dreams lay lost to such hopeless fright
     Let one spark stay lit with the...

For an hour of your time
I could write a poem
 Remembered
for two lifetimes
The simplest touch
 altering generational
I told you so's
Placating troubled minds
introducing you to the tip
of what you were meant 
      to do
Becoming
 fully aware 
  of favorite lines

I don't want to be sad, it's like mourning,
I usually die 60 times a minute,
Always heartbroken,
Time withers in my soul this flower of mourning.
And I don't want to be sad, I know the mud,
Before I die I want to dance my last tango,
I am a...

Lilibet, Queen of our nation,
In vibrant beauty her reign begun
One February morn of African sun
Lilibet, Queen of our nation

In vibrant beauty her reign begun
Returning home to England in black,
An era of change, of endless flack,
In vibrant beauty her reign begun

Returning home to England in black,
Her...

Villanelle: The Dilemma of the Non-Violent – 60

Interplay of positive-negative current
How Nature alternates through light and darkness
Three hundred and eighty-four times made recurrent

All symbols of family diverse in content
Father Mother Three Brothers Three Sisters in harness
Interplay of positive-negative current

Lunar year split into two neither non-violent
Both...

This no-bituary appears in print,
not to tell you where and when he went
it's merely just to give a hint
he's started on a brand new stint

Forget-you-not's at all his intent,
you'll still see him if you kind of squint
please do not cry; do not lament
he's merely paused...
