It should have been all roses
But little did she know
Naive girl still
 in her mama's shell

"There's no such rose without a thorn"

Though stories have been 
written in a Bible years ago
Of how Adam bit the apple

Hid his hand so Eve's would show.

Little did She know
Little...

Now Santa is getting eccentric 
His sleigh is now fully electric
He made Rudolph retire
Pressed the red button - ‘Fire’
His world then went totally hectic

He searched for a roof with snow clearing
And found a good landing site nearing
First attempt was a mess
He had no GPS
And no...

Born in cloak of modesty, life toddles, yet thrives
Musing of blissful eternity in domain of paradise
Befriending and beholding its virtuous design
Facing triumphs and failures of quests worthwhile

From first breath to last it's a long thrilling ride
As love and desires rule trappings of eager minds
And will...

"Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us." -  Hal Borland

Each year goes round, and so I must surmise
that even though four seasons make a year,
we cannot really say...

As I claim my own parcel of solitude
from yesterday's banging boom,
I see heaven expanding through you
in me: fireflies  glow  rare as Sunday’s bliss,
never mind if there is a call for patience
when holy hours rise upon the lines of your mouth;
resting on the ledge...

Sometimes on Discovery TV, 
there's time-lapse to teach and dazzle us.
We might see that naked jay (before he's turned to blue)
in just mere moments transforming!
He masquerades in feathers and quickly grows. 
Maybe we will witness the feeble endeavors
which finally propel him into flight; 
as the...

Antares' red glow bears firmly down
upon plush, chartreuse carpet
lying prone against the obsidian expanse,
blanketing sections of a remote 
blue sphere, purling,

spinning helplessly 
through distant time and space;
slave to routine and rotation,
never daring to break free; 
to reach out.

Scorpius sprawls low 
across the Autumn void;
a celestial...

So it goes

Easy to pen poetry in the light of day
much more for the eye to see 
washed away her shadow of night
anyway, 

yeah..,
try and explain it to my heart 
that longs for you.. 
wills it to..
go dark.

Easy to land long strokes
smooth movement in pen's...

I'm searching for a new man.
			(My lemon quit on me.)
			I'm a discerning seeker.
			(The smallest dent, I'll see!)

			I want a younger fellow;
			(Low mileage is a must.)
			Required is great get-up-and-go
			(an engine with no rust).

			He should desire me in his lap.
			(Seat warmers feel so good.)
			He's gotta be in...

She Goes Back
By Lillian J. Jeffrey


Whispers flow like a river
she will be sold
sold or rented like a cash crop

Born on a Maryland plantation
her mother works the big house
Harriet runs barefoot in the woods
side by side her brothers, nursemaids 
her younger brother, childhood ends at five

She...

For P.D's "Going Haiku Crazy" Contest

 
How Many?

going to St. Ives
met folks on that smelly bus
more than I could count

Just Sleep Walking?

Wee Willy Winky
caught outside a boy’s window
in a night garment

Got Wool?

naked in the lane
three bags-full of wool sheared off
baa baa black sheep fleeced

She Didn’t...

There goes my heart.
Once sealed now open like the mouth of a volcano.
My souls’ strings pulled out from their place of refuge.
My soul thriving to breathe from your mere presence.
My hand exploring every fore of your delicate body.
My hands aching, yet trying not to touch...

What goes around will eventually find its' way back, 
it's basic geometry, measurements and math.

If You turn right enough you will be back in the same place.
Back to were you came from, back to the previous space.

Like a Boomerang that is thrown into the sky.

It brings warmly new energy crowning 
as the sunshine smiles from out of these eyes 
enlightened transforming everything inside out 

Wings flutter in a vision possession held candlelight 
Beholding grace of a thousand swans in flight 
Pure is the starlight that radiates sweet flower 

Angel...
