frothing waves compensating
spring's sweet sunshine shores:-

At certain times
it is comforting to know
that none of us
are necessary.
Life is ample,
blind, unconscious
of any loss,
compensating
for any absence.
For who takes note
of a missing blade of grass?...

counteracts efforts 
made at trying to
create inner balance 
between differing 
perspectives 
on a quest to try 
and somehow find 
a means of compensating 
for the opposing forces 
acting against all hope 
for a better relationship 
in a future time and place 
between the future versions 
of our selves...

Wrong Turns
© Ben Burton 5-26-2015

You're bound to make some wrong turns in your life
Experience will help you recognize
It does not matter how far you have gone
Come back when it is clear the turn was wrong

For time invested in a fruitless ride
Is only wasted if it's multiplied
By compensating for the ground you've lost
In compromising that which you once sought...

More of Horn Anti-Trump Haiku

What we felt was wrath
Suffered after aftermath
From Trump President.

Is horsing around
Good as playing or fooling
While Trump is ruling.

Needed a sharp knife
To cut through the Trump Traffic
Always tough to do.

Here are my latest.

Another way of releasing feelings
and compensating for a President
who has an inferiority complex.

 VAPOURS OF INTENTION

Love
art and morale
pending
till reality bites
destroying all
vapours of
intention

Hope
in the root
grows as the
creative course
progresses
to reach lost
vapours of
intention

Faith 
restored at our
artistic best
when denied
our way
compensating
for that void
realizing
cultivating 
talented
capacities

igniting
vapours of
intention

Surreal,natural feeling of unblemishment

ecstatic maybe one concept of description.

My daughter, only sibling,grandson compensating

previous miscarrage,grandaughter soon to prevail.

Love instantly flowing,from a scan photograph

fullfilment being the operative word.


A prewaming welcome to the world,an unborn grandaughter.

Listist memories surrounding the cool autumn breeze;
Cellular graphical biological totals stacked high on highs;
Over on top of each other sunshines brights bleeds;
Parking dazzling lights and compensating prisms parallel to the skies;
Horizontally traumatized;
As humanity tries to dramatize;
Wake up open your eyes;
Get up you need to realize; 
a last such a beautiful view- 
high in you

A family get-together 
We're all here
It's a unique occasion 
At first it may appear 
Like an insane invasion 
Compensating for lost cheer
With family, held dear
Simply, be prepared to babble 
For loads of kinfolk, prattle 

It's awesome to see 
Everyone, spinning up a memory  
Touching our thoughts in say
Past time, thinking back find
Like yesterdays, we visit today
Walking magically, faraway
Through, recalling mind 
All paying tribute, without delay 
To a reminiscing find...
