A Well-Known Stranger'Twas a sound I thought alarming, most assuredly disarming;
Up I rose from peaceful slumber to discern what it might be.

At my window I was favoured by...

Smoke, tinged with barely...

MY FIRST IMAGIST POEM REFLECTIPNS
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
MY FIRST TANKA- BREAKING UP
apart again
crestfallen within
my longing persists-
we dis-engage
into parallel lives
FIRST FOOTLE Jan 2009
Footle-Bonnie & Clyde
too snide
both died

Chill breath of autumn
Sears the poppy scarlet red,
On his memory'd cenotaph.
Tears trickle in the furrowed
Faces of young comrades
.....now long dead
