who, trothed to truth, would now be left displeased,
by hurried tempers bent on winning wars,
neglectful...

A Canadian's Letter To Americans: a Thousand Points of Light
A Thousand Points of Light! ! ! ! !
Once a beacon of democracy
A shining light on the hill
The ‘American Dream’
Anyone can ‘make it’
Never more than aspirational
Structurally delusional
Always susceptible to its
Achilles heel of...

Diary of a Criminal
DIARY OF A CRIMINAL
Dear Diary, something happened that’s hard to be believed:
Today I faced a sentence; instead I was reprieved.
They’d brought me to the platform for all the crowd to see,
And as I looked, I...

Renascence
Darkness still needs to be a portion of the sky,
It symbolizes grasping the cosmic matrix.
Alas, it did not rise by a twist. It's the basics,
As morrow never rolls to spell crux truth, high.
A spark of...

Beside the Kinta River still it stands
Colossus of the primal forest panoply
The tree a native of the fecund land
It’s limbs support the graceful arcing canopy
Each arm like a single tree of temperate terre
Forming structure...

Anne Girvan's Decree
At the heart of Marescaux Road’s Maroon and Gold
Lived a timid girl with dreams yearning to unfold.
An inner-city teen with a spirit aglow
Yet hidden in shadows, her potential lay low.
Then entered a teacher with passion...

Our Union
1. Every space is filled
this is definitely a love match
cultivating a field of many Asters
smoothening life to a mind boggling degree
the definition of this bliss
is an outcast to the perception of many witnesses

Spring Is In the Air
A faint perfume of lilac blooms has stirred the sleeping dawn
Bright sunlight weaves a golden loom with threads across the lawn
Crisp white-lipped Delphiniums tossed snowflakes to the hills, while
Daffodils and pink jonquils shake off the...

Mass Execution
The Dakota Wars
Took their toll
Native Indians
Out of control
Five settlers were killed
Is what started it all
Little Crow declared
More would fall
This all happened
Many years ago
As the history books
And the records show
August 16th
1862
Treaty payments arrived

Needle In The Eye And other Fun Things
I disclose that I
Have regular appointments
For a needle in my eye
A thing I dread
And I'm afraid of most
Is when I see that Javelin
Getting close
It hurts so much
I want to die
And like a little girl
I...

Ghost of Empathy
A soft glowing, upon a hopeless face.
A hurt showing, as you descent from this place.
Will you return, before we begin our fall?
A reprisal we yearn, longing for that call.
A ghost of empathy,...

My world a chasm of utter darkness
Dreariness enveloped me like a cloud
Bound by chains in an abandoned fortress
Tormented body - a field freshly plowed
Accomplishments ignored; voice never heard
Wondered why on earth was I even...

A Haiku Anthology - Theme Summertime
wildflower meadow
as tall as a muntjac
cuckoo cuckooing

farmers haymaking
grasshoppers stridulating
don't touch a stinkbug

wood admiral glides
honeysuckle its host plant
humid the hot nights

warm is the river
fish rising leaping for flies
life seeking cool shade
-
inverted swimmers
water boatmen taking in air

I Am Lifted and Forgiven--
Oh, I am always, I’m in so much in love with the Lord;
For He’s given me life this I know;

Dormant Seed
A solitary kernel for lack of succoring nurture aggrieved
From sun's warm caresses seasonally bereaved
With wind's chilling strides constantly plucked, heaved
Lying on fallowed ground whose cloak now desleaved
With frigid mantle over frostbitten spine weaved
Nutrient-rich pores of...
