The Lake Shrine

Ancient building, columns define.   Eden’s forever garden hidden.  Indelibly juxtapositioned kaleidoscopic lake maintains numerous orchidaceae.  Porticos’ quaint, reclused, sequestered.  Tetrastylon unseen villa’s with xystus, Yogananda’s Zen.

"Oh' What should I call you

O'together with all of you
sisters and brothers what

So the shape of things to 
O'Come words rhyming in

So in this chosen verse this
form first a poem of words

Caverns

The drop of water
Natures only noise
Curiosity caught her
Had no other choice 

Hands, trembling
Flashing eyes
Integrity disassembling
Cave, stone skies

Man made, cracking pillars
Holds up uneven rock
The innocent are killers
Ringing sound, a mocking jay mock

Deeper she wades
Heart pounding harder
Light she evades
Evil’s own martyr

Led to die
Born to float
Dead she lie
Maggot’s boat

Her last day,
Far from joyful
Panicked disarray
Remain ever loyal

She won’t be

Cast the First Stone

To the cameraman who through your distant lense 
sees one man with another's wife,
and clicks and silently uploads, to expose, 
and so to make those lives implode.

Who do you see behind your shuttered home?
With wife away and children gone,
no prying eye save God's alone,
yet, still you pick and throw first stone.

To the journalist, seekings idle

Rows Versus Columns

A whale kilowatt is a power source indeed. Floatation over gallons is a fantastic idea. But when a raven flies in a circular fashion it is then time for the washing party of grizzly bears who arrive at the exact time of the water gush. Questionable motives from biscuit faced men who seek to destroy

Notes In the Columns - Haibun Contest

I knew it was in the loft somewhere, tucked away and forgotten.  It hadn't been used for many years now, mamgu* has been dead for a long long time.  Oh boy, could she cook, could turn a few simple ingredients into a banquet. So one wet and miserable night I climbed into the

Columns and Ranks, Fog of War Intermingled

Standing straight in columns and ranks, 
Heads newly shaved by the barber, 
Carrying guns loaded with blanks: 
New recruits after Pearl Harbor. 
     (Our foes wait in their well-defended lair,)
The Generals inspected troops, 
     (Imagining that they’ll stay safe and warm.) 
Standing straight in columns and ranks;

Columns and Ranks

Columns and Ranks (20140925)

Standing straight in columns and ranks,
Heads newly shaved by the barber,
Carrying guns loaded with blanks:
New recruits after Pearl Harbor.

The Generals inspected troops,
Standing straight in columns and ranks;
Afterwards they broke into groups,
And marched towards the ships’ gangplanks.

They boarded ships with guns and tanks
To England, the Atlantic crossed.
Standing straight in columns and ranks,
They’d free

Marble In Columns On Green

On a slope graced with green
White marble stands in proud salute

For beneath these engraved pillars of memory
Lie the resting places of heroes

A solitary green fir looks down
As if sheltering the lost and the taken

So many names, from all walks of life
A father, brother a girlfriend or wife

On a sunny day, they glow radiant like their

Between Those Two Columns

Between those two columns 
life begins
flowers grow more beautiful than ever
the grass streches up from its nights rest

Between those two columns
the world seems perfect
the vibrant shades of pinks and purples dance with the cotton ball clouds

Between thoses two columns 
the days beauty takes many peoples breath away

Between thoes two columns 
life ends and reality begins
