MY FIRST IMAGIST POEM -REFLECTIONS

Reflections

Deep into the pool
A blue moon,ephemeral,
Below white-coated peaks,
Bleak and surreal,
The transient image too soon
Dissolves,and ripples into space,
As water though my grasp.

MY FIRST CINQUAIN (after Adelaide Crapsey)

Long days
Of August sun
Where nature blinks and shrinks
The dying grass,yellowed in sleep-
Held fast

MY FIRST HIKU 

On the wind,a bell
Muffled from across the square
Raindrops fill the air

Though dreams be rent asunder
our wishes still have wings.

but not the constant queries
that question rooted theories
which reason cannot reach.

Put away childish ken,
though artless ways of...

"A Better Person"

Long ago I learned it
Nobody on this Earth is 
Perfect
That's for certain

I'm determined
To be a better person
As I continue workin'
Ready to handle any burden

Not yet affirmative
We're still not so sure of it
If elsewhere...

 unconscious smiles

the day

 weariness
where we
lock ourselves
hidden
  softly
in its virtues

playful eyes
