SEASONAL haibun
When Spring comes again not the warmth..nor the rain
not the yellow ..nor the green not the grass or verdant scene;
not the winds or blossom bright not the showers or more daylight;
but hearing creation's new birth shouted aloud in sky and earth.
When Summer her beauty displays not short nights nor lengthy days
not vacations or tourist sights not the festivals nor village fetes
not the wildlife nor abour foliates but the garden all nature in flower,eye-catchingly dressed.When Autumn readies for harvest not her full silos nor baskets imprest not mellow vistas seen nor dressed trees, yellow-red not Indian Summer's embrace nor late coloured flower beds not Fall's living collage or wine newly pressed not for walks in the woods or nature's largesse but in thanksgiving ,daily blessed for all the Lord's bountifulness.
creations new birth
each season to us reveals
God’s love in action
you may hear me recite this haibun (and most of my PS anthology)on youtube under my pen name ichthyschiro.

I found embrace upon
the fields of death
Upon the lamps that
speak of lifeless rest
Wherefore I go unknown
to wealth on breath
I wish Eden be mild to
own my breast.
Confess'd I young to
prowl in scarlet deeds
Against the bitter-sweet
bestows of life
Against the written laws
of Heaven creeds
To battle reason, strive
and curl to strife.
The joy I saw imprest
uþon my dreams
I wish to see today but
see no more
A sky of clouds a-float the
cheerful streams
Or glorious smiles myself
had living bore.
I wish the nests be laid of
self-desire
To dine in Eden's arms
and flee the fire.
