American Haikus
#33
the moon falls west-ward

bouncing around black dog's space
I know you’re in love

Tule music plays

What Easter Means To Me
A life predestined, foretold by prophets-
Jesus’ fate was sealed: sacrificed life
that we could have the same everlasting.
Betrayed by a kiss for silver pieces,

And stores hold special sales.
To honor our first president,

where Fillmore lives
deep in a hollow.
He's never had a job
and doesn’t want one now
spends his days huntin’ coon
squirrel and possum
and that catamount
lore says is black.

Misty Memories of a New York Youth
Thinking of my youth
when we rode around
in a light green VW beetle
Listening to Stevie Winwood
and the boys sing John Barleycorn
Soon enough my friends scattered
