Azalea blooms show their pink blaze
Begonias in beds amaze
Cornflowers grow in blue delight
Daffodil debuts still thrill our sight
Eastern Redbud, a bright pink splash
Forsythia gold hides winter's ash
Gardenia, soft with creamy hues
Hyacinth paints with varied blues
Irises rise in purple duds
Jasmine vines show pastel buds
Kafir Lilies, a...

Spring takes its bow early in Florida’s climate
Winds expire, February debuts in quiet
Dazzling lavender blooms on cherry trees wake first
Sweet aroma o’er the verdant landscape’s dispersed

Summer lures eager tourists to beaches in May
Dipping their toes, they feel the ocean’s salty spray
Torrid heat ushers hurricane season...

Home to President Woodrow Wilson
Ivy scaled Monmouth’s outer walls
Laughter of youth from decades past
Resonated in marble-floored halls

The theater building was set apart
Further down Cedar Avenue
Another spirit stalked the stage
Where college actors made debuts

A gift from the Monmouth Race Park
Actors’ dressing rooms were stalls
Where a stealthy...

Once a month Earth’s moon takes another gig
     Moonlighting in a far-off galaxy
The lunar eclipse only veils the truth
     The man in the moon is an absentee

Decades peering down, he needs some relief

When you look at a butterfly, what do you see?
The brilliant color and intricate design
A soft, gentle creature, serene
That morphs through its lifetime
And debuts in spring
Dressed in the most glorious attire
Even royalty is envious
Fragile but free with no inhibitions
Pleasing the eye of its beholder

When you...

I thought I saw a snowflake in June
Perhaps, it was just silly daydream imaginations
Or were ongoing investigations really do

Upon further horizon inquiries
The sun ended interviews in blushing denial
And when heavenly interrogations finished
The sky was turning guilty blue

I’m absolutely sure
The clouds were somewhere amidst the cover...

A swarm of whispers kisses my face
Like tender blossoms, a full view;
In morning’s bid, I find thrilled embrace
Through good-bye romps as sunrise debuts
On fragrant petals carousing dew.

My eyes follow his parting tracks on wings
As day rouses wisps of garlands’ crowns,
Clusters of buds wheeze a mild...

THE GAME REQUIRES DETERMINATION.
ALONG WITH LUCK AND SKILL.
YOU PROVE YOURSELF OVER TIME
THAT YOU CAN FULFILL THE BILL.

YOU SAID YOU WANTED 
TO PLAY THE GAME.
AND CLAIMED YOU HAD A
REASON.
YOU VOWED TO DO YOUR
VERY BEST.
THROUGH OUT THE ENTIRE

SELECTED TO LEAD THE TEAM.
COLLECTIVELY...

Succumb to a rabbit hole, avalanche perception
Compiles tiles sliding, interchanging hues
Collapses cement rigidity command of tension 
Cube covers corners interior cog subdues

Determined digits dive in darker dire dimension
Coming to glinted dug river bed treasures
Coalesce of pleasures drift in liquid suspension 
Culminate in mind crowned proud...

Inebriant is affection
when hearts to hearts are hot
and pangs can cut the tendering
Effects not short of alcohol !

Come to my heart - take it slow
One atrium at a time
The right - when at first sight
The left - when attractions grow

Ventricles are the portico
Emotion at the...

In my Haikus
Weeping clouds debuts
Shaped like flip flop shoes

It just goes to follow, that the sun can not rise
If the darkness has not conceded its demise
But the night is a part of the birth of the day
Displaying nature’s art in a magnificent way

As sun breaks horizon it’s the end of the show
Credits start...

In the Midst of Winter

In the midst of sullen snows
 pink cherry blossoms burst open ~
 spring garden introduction

in the midst of frozen icicles
 yellow daffodils spring up ~
  debutants of spring

in the midst of howling storm winds
 white snowdrops vault through frozen soil...

HAIKU MOMENT 9


Weary routes
Unknown potential;
Hollow acclaim

~~~~~~~~~


Indifference
Curious spectacle;
Vain allure

Be bold
Be brave;
Dare drool

Morning rain
Lightning flash;
Wet everywhere

Dazzle debuts
Crowd frenzy feisty;
World-class finish

A sea of faces;
Voices compete

Get set;
Prompt vanity

Be brief
