From the Mediterranean Sea to California
Extraordinary green trees grown since ancient times
Oils and fruit, branches of peace
Time is 2:49a.m
Americans remain stranded outside in the darkness of cold literally behind an enemies vote. Location. California
origami dreams -
snowflakes of the past back home -
wish I were with you...
for SKAT's Haiku contest
How wise, the mind of a tree.
California redwoods must
Harbor a million stories.
Listen with your soul.
In clumsy American dreams
cigars hold no ember, it seems
as one’s thrown away
one looks in dismay
as garbage forms ash-laden streams
A man who was hung by his balls
Declined to accept any calls
A priest said we'll find
He changes his mind
A few seconds after he falls
The President just stopped for gas
Deep in the heart of Breakwind Pass
The booming echo
Sent GEICO's gecko
California to Maine First Class
~California Dawn~
That sharp gold-blue sky
One lonely cloud says goodbye
West Coast morning

FRY AN EGG ON MY STREET,

Aquamarine, winks.
Observing them, they do blink.
A possum, just thinks.

Oklahoma
electric blue skies,
sun and wild winds
tragic black dirt clouds
sand sifting through cracks
dry stalks
bones - only bones
California
California
Sunny, warm
Swimming, boating, sunning
Sky, airplane, ocean, seashells
Skiing, sledding, snowball throwing
Cold, blistery
New York City
HUG'M NOW

Rhymed Senryu
Daisies in her hair
a Volkswagen bug
Giant yellow happy face
California dreaming
Beach Boy’s Music
Little Ole Lady from Pasadena
Sixties songs in my heart
One look at a map ought to have shown
What politicians ought to have known
Yet not one would say
Its foolish to lay
Oil pipeline in an earthquake-prone zone!
California
I saw a
Gray Squirrel
Remove his
Fluffy Coat!
He was as
Naked as a
Scrub Jay!
And then he
Flew Away!

Chet had worked for the railroad for forty-six years
I want to ride the train from New York to California
it was his last ride, luxuriously relaxing for this engineer
Cracked California,
Sky has teased her, too long.
Her thirst, it lingers
As clouds withhold her water;
Her parched throat cries for mercy.
It doets
In file
Creating improv
Of government structure code
Deep in the winde to pause
The slouch is may, or you without silence
The eavesdropping behind the times
Transmission lines found underground
Ain't cheap wires that cause fires when downed
Zounds! For these we'd pay
And kneeling we pray
LA's not a gray buried mound
D'ya know what snack makes me elate
Green or red, I'm talking about grapes
That any day eat
A mouth watering treat
From California, we munch on like apes
In the California mines
There are 300,000
Native Americans hustling.
What type of verse
Could you possibly
Craft from that?
300,000 natives
Hustling in the
California mines.
Yahoo, the fantastic Packers play tonight.
Rarely seen in California, my one night delight!

One hundred thirty degrees yesterday.
Somewhere on the border between
Nevada and California...
I wear wet clothes..
I do it on purpose.
Wet and cold.
I have no ac.
