ROAST TO THE TOASTER
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
toaster, warmth you bring,
golden crusts greet morning light,
sunrise in my hand.
slots are welcoming
embrace bread with gentleness,
toasting it with ease.
each slice meets your heat,
a transformation occurs,
soft to crisp delight..
you're more than a tool,
symbol of comfort, routine,
part of daily life.
here's to you, toaster.
may your coils always glow bright,
filled with a slice white.
Senryu 1
Road bends, turns, and twists,
We stumble, then stand up tall,
New horizons wait.
kitchen clean broom sweep
chipped dishes cracked wishes weep
mess runs into garbage fun
in this life
nothing is like
the touch of
a paw . . .
on your
sleeping cheek
as mysterious
as fog on autumn meadows
you enter my life
true coordinates
nodes of fate and destiny ~
reckoning for life
Nimble and agile,
Life is vim, vigour, virile,
Prudence gone sterile.
Limp getting the knees
Life is lived in memories—
In rest, reveries!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, my blessed little Sister!
When we were young, Papa always called
You “Black Patti”! Now we know why:
A Senryu Quintet Tribute To “Black Patti (1868-1933): **
For My Sister, Sula “Black Patti” Baye (08/25/1943)
Water gives rivers life
I swanee, “Black Patti” gave
Life to the songs she sang:-
“Black Patti” felt that
Singing songs was to her, as
Sunshine to flowers:-
When “Black Patti” sang,
Flowers flooded world stages:
Concert Halls, sold out!
She was Mitilda
Sissieretta Jones: singing
Abolitionist!
Black Patti, rather
Than Adelina Patti, was
Their Era’s Greatest!
**When others sit down and do oursrorical research,
They will know why Papa gave you that honor. Go
And enjoy another blessed year, perpendicular to
Earth and Heaven. To God Be The Glory. In the
Onederful oneness of the onement of Extended
Family, Peace And Love, your favorite Brother,
Deac.

STORIES FOREVER
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
dropper full of ink
with each stroke, words come to life
stories forever
Have you ever made a connection despite adversity, or at a time when emotional warmth is especially cherished?
A connection based on Jung's concept of synchronicity:
Occurrences that are linked by meaning rather than cause?
A fleetingly moment maybe in a challenging time, where meaningful contact that seems both accidental and profound.
Is needed?
A brief pause with a stranger that felt overflowing with meaning?
An unsaid unity formed in a profound silence between new or old friends?
Or just someone appearing into your life at the right time that almost felt like fate?
So, have you ever felt this sensation with someone?
Title.
Synchronicity
(A lone voice whispers)
We came together
Like two autumn leaves touching
In winter's weather

Senryu, like haiku, has three lines with 17 or, but unlike haiku, which focuses on nature, senryu tends to center on human nature.
saturday outing
antique show and flea market
a hoarders delight
this looks so painful
why tattoo around your neck
did it not hurt you
is life predestined
dare you ride the destiny -
trust the co-pilot
IN REALITY OF THE DREAM
All living in peace;
All injustice uprooted:
Justice’s mountain topped:-
