A Haiku Sextet
Losing 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
tells me nothing whatsoever
about decay, death.

It is November, 
but the air forgets that as

Sad Sextet. 


Rainy day 
Wet dog on pavement 
Looking in
Seeing me
Sit by the cosy fireside 
Ignoring its plight....

Premium Member The Taylor House Story (Tanka Sextet)
There's always a house
Some weird    vacant residence
Kids stay away from
Especially on certain nights
Those nights when the Moon is bright

Climbing those porch steps
Would take more than just courage
No child would risk it
It's the Taylor House Story
A tale both true    and...

Sextet: Old Dread' Tales
I wandered like a cursed devil
Roaming in the darkness of heaven
When all the angeI died, I saw an owl
End up in the womb of a craven;
Beside the brave, beneath the desire,
Dancing with time, so look at the sky

Its over, o its over my mighty god
The...

muffled in love's caress!

Premium Member Sextet of Birthdays
sextet of birthdays in December -
seven, if you count the precious Lord.
his candle shines the brightest
as each person learns to scoff
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.

Premium Member APROPOS OF LIFE, DEATH, WAR AND PEACE: A 2-4-2 SEXTET
Peace...no,
bombs exploding;
it's war!

The wars
fought to get peace,
did not:-

Pooped bombs
swell graves' bellies;
death farts:-

The kids
feed wars each day;
death pleased:-

In wars,
only death wins;
peace can't:-

Love peace,
wars are evil;
crave life:-
