Great Dog-Demon

I surpassed father
though the path was treacherous
and filled with mirrors

Premium MemberTanka-Haiku Surprise

On a sunny day,
we went to get a dogie.
Driving the back roads,
Excitement was in the air.
Would our new pet be waiting?

We looked all over,
surprise ~ there sat my angel,
heaven had touched earth.

Those We Love

Those We Love,


Precious gifts to the heart,
more than gold and silver.
For all those we love.

Premium MemberMemory Revisiting

black cherry dusk skies
and moon rose, it was silver
butterfly quivers

the gemmed stars were out
and Mom tending blooms, singing
clematis clinging

jade dragonfly lake
comes again in memory
with anemones

Dad had just come home
one yesterday of my life
when roses were rife

Haiku - 1950

going out to eat
gravel road to Blackford Creek
afternoon picnic

When I say home

When I write of “home”, 
it’s not them I’m aching from,
just the world outside.

Premium MemberStages of Life


Embryonic Stage

So comfy and warm
Not feeling a hint of harm
Oh, what’s happening

Birth

Good grief, it’s so cold
O’er and o’er again was told
“Beautiful baby”

Child Age

Play sports, make good grades
Life’s full of adventure days
Hates vegetables

Teen Years

It’s an  awkward age
Parents struggle through  this stage
Just stay sane through it 

Young Adult Years

Leaving home first time
Into unknown, a steep climb
Where will it all end

Middle Adult Years

Work and family
Agony and ecstasy
Stalwart day by day

Older Adult Years

Body , soul, and mind
Seeking peace of special kind
Beyond ever known

You are a brother
And a son, special gifts
For you are known, shown

You are a child
And a man sang "Kumbaya"
"Come by here, O' Lord"

As if to forecast
His love to a family
You held together

In its time of need
Things amazing this poet
If you did know it

You a gift from God  
As only He could style
As He opens wide

His arms you greet Him 
with your smile, His chile
Be free now Billy

On the Occasion of Your Engagement

Two hearts intertwined.

Branches merge into one tree,

Families unite.
