Best Sextet Poems
A Haiku SextetLosing her, a dream,
winter ravaged my soul and
Now the snowman melts.
Solitary bird,
why sing you only of spring
outside my window?
I stole a flower
from nature's bed,bottled it.
Now it is dying.
The crunch of brown leaves

about decay, death.
It is November,
but the air forgets that as

Sit by the cosy fireside
Ignoring its plight....

The Taylor House Story (Tanka Sextet)There's always a house
Some weird vacant residence

Especially on certain nights
Those nights when the Moon is bright
Climbing those porch steps

When all the angeI died, I saw an owl
End up in the womb of a craven;

Dancing with time, so look at the sky
Its over, o its over my mighty god

Sextet of Birthdayssextet of birthdays in December -
seven, if you count the precious Lord.
his candle shines the brightest

at the softball candles that light
their cake, presenting wrinkles
and gray hair, never the nearer
to the extravagant ageless king
who sits above angels’ wings.

bombs exploding;
it's war!
The wars
fought to get peace,

Pooped bombs
swell graves' bellies;
death farts:-
The kids
