Best Tri Poems
Beneath soft stars and moonlight rays,
I watch her dance without a care.
Her feet enchant in mystic ways,
as gusts entwine through her gold hair.
I watch her dance without a care.
Her passion lights up the night skies.
A blaze ignites within her eyes.
Her feet enchant in mystic ways.
With swirls and twirls she casts her spell.
In rhythms where angel spirits dwell.
As gusts entwine through her gold hair,
her shadow fades into the dark.
In my soul her light leaves its mark.
Both fell in love with Beaver Isle
A plot was bought close to the lake
Their house was built in rustic style
This house a home they planned to make.
A plot was bought close to the lake
With a clear view and facing East
So eyes on amber dawns could feast.
Their house was built in rustic style
With rugged charm, simple décor…
One more surprise they had in store.
This house a home they planned to make
That would not be pie in the sky:
Hush ~ I can hear a baby’s cry!
Through the park I walked, alone
As the moon reflected off the lake
I made a wish and tossed a stone
A sleeping owl, I did awake
As the moon reflected off the lake
Echoes chimed from the owl's hoots
Distant sounds- train's whistle toots
I made a wish and tossed a stone
Perhaps beneath the stars so bright
I just might find my love tonight
A sleeping owl, I did awake
He hooted a symphony that rose above
And just like that, there was my love
He hath made
The point quite
Sincere never trade
Your pointless trite
Round former great
Whose sharpened plight
Remains unchanged fate
Indispensable when betrayed
Honed deeply serrate
When I was walking in the zoo,
I saw a strange and wondrous sight.
You would have found in funny too,
Unlikely creatures in a fight.
I saw a strange and wondrous sight,
A hippo fighting with a cat.
Hyenas really laughed at that.
You would have found it funny too.
The pair were really not well matched.
Of course the cat was soon dispatched.
Unlikely creatures in a fight.
But cats have nine lives as you know
And so he still has eight to go
In shadows deep where whispers blend,
A haunting dream steals through my night.
It haunts me still, it will not end,
And casts a veil of silent fright.
A haunting dream steals through my night,
Its echoes dance with shadowed grace,
In every corner of my space.
It haunts me still, it will not end,
Each whisper sharp, a ghostly trace,
That lingers in the quiet place.
And casts a veil of silent fright,
Where dreams of night and fears collide,
In restless sleep, nowhere to hide.
The morning sun broke soft and bright,
A canvas painted hues anew.
With dreams and hopes in gentle light,
The day began with a golden hue.
A canvas painted hues anew,
She breathed in possibilities,
In morning’s grace, she found her peace.
With dreams and hopes in gentle light,
The day unfolded fresh and clear.
A moment’s calm, so sincere.
The day began with a golden hue,
Her heart found solace in the sky,
Beneath the clouds, she let out a sigh.
"Tri-Desire"
love triangle creates false trinity for Future dream
ultimate denial destroys yet love reigns claiming victory
masquerade generates triple deceit in name of love.

Comfort Food: Chicken Pot Pie
Savory gravy bubbling
through slits in the top
of Mama’s flaky crust;
chunks of potatoes,
peas, and white chicken -
Comfort for
REAL!
Pizza Pie
A saucy Mama Mia
topped with mounds of cheese,
meat, and veggies of your choice.
Slices of heaven.
Who doesn’t love this?
Pizza is
bliss!
Fruit Pie
Blueberries or raspberries
heaped in to a shell.
Rhubarb; cinnamon apple,
lemon or key lime!
I’ll eat any time
such sweetened
tarts!

As a young man my stamina was grand and I wanted to be with you every day weekly,
In those first years when our love still brought tears we enjoyed each other tri-weekly.
As time went by and we became friends, you and I, we didn’t give up sex completely,
Even though we liked to share other things of which we care, in bed we still liked to try
weekly.
Now we our old and for an average_joe I would like to submit that I've aged neatly,
But of that stuff in our bed I think it can be said the best we can do is try weakly.

Honorable Mention
He left the house in disarray
When cautioned flew into a rage,
A brat he was who got his way
This lad was spoilt from a young age.
When cautioned flew into a rage
And uttered words best left unsaid;
The mother cried and tears were shed.
A brat he was who got his way
And treated all with disrespect
His bad behaviour went unchecked.
This lad was spoilt from a young age
But then one day he went too far
He died in mangled stolen car.

I had to go through the proper channels
Don't smoke so I wouldn't walk a mile for a camel
I was only ordering essentials
I was told by Ms. Liley, I don't have the credentials
I wanted to talk to our finance lady in person, not a phone call
So I asked her, hey Sarah, where's my tri-walls
I thought being a tech I could order direct
Ms. Liley told Sarah she was using money from a project
If I don't get what I need soon, shipping will begin to stall
Hey sarah, where's my tri-walls
What about the table scale I requested multiple times
Miss Liley's explaination leaves little reason or rhyme
She said there are enough scales at the facility that can be used
I've had to walk back to our big scale so much, I wore the soles off my steel toed shoes
This whole budget crisis is out of my control, I need brain electrolysis
So I scratched the table scale off my wish list
Some items I have begged for so many times I can't recall
I will settle for Sarah recovering my order of tri-walls

Tri-Ku / Senryu
Frayed pants
aging tassels in the wind
work in progress
Patched dreams
soft comfort of renewal
love’s chevrons
Old boots
moldings of the soul
carry on
