What a Lovely River Smile

Have you ever
Seen a hippopotamus
Running in cadence,
Alongside an
African, Kenyan man
Oh, what a lovely  
River smile

Fall Dance

Fall Dance

The leaves dance
Across the lawn
At an Autumn pace
Race with the wind
In cadence with time…

Echo

When sounds of beauty do decay.
    Each cadence softly fades away.
    Their echoes finally replay.

Tanka For Your Thoughts

A tanka for your thoughts

To carve a mountain
Out of space
A poet’s fate
With a pen as a chisel
The cadence rings in his dreams

alone with my thoughts
rain beats against the window
cadence changes with the wind

the dog settles at my feet
written words beckon me

Mud
first sign
of spring thaw
slippery worms
dance with the robins
nestlings calling
the cadence
slow step

Triumphs and defeats bother us no more
These nonevents diminish not bliss beats
Each pore a door, in its own right, our core
Renews cadence of rapture that repeats

My friend
I can't see you in the darkness
but your voice is faint
I reach my hand out
in the direction your cadence emanates
alas
your call is replaced by the wind

I have to stop writing these Limericks
I've must have written at least five or six
It's hard to stop now
I just don't know how
Because the beat and the cadence just sticks

Jaws the movie
duh duh duh duh
duh duh duh duh
the music gives me chills
you know the cadence.
it can never be used again
for another movie
unless it is 2085
then maybe

Candle-lit cravings ooze,
caramelized almonds,
creamy layers of love~
carving midnight spoons in
crisp cadence, coated with
cocoa milk; velvety
clusters of sweet essence.

Listen to poem:
the pulse of nature heals-
rustle of leaves forgives
babble of brook relieves
as nature's cadence entrances
a walker to step out
one foot at a time
in melodic meditation
