under maple leaves,
autumn whispers to the stream—
crimson shadows fall
a lone crane bends to the light
graceful in the fading glow

do know
the dying crane
has it spoken in to
in to your brain
so what of the sticks
magic now
not covered in bricks
who said how

Wings
Quill-strings
Wide spreading
Like bob-sledding
As though fox-wedding
Delight shredding
Spearheading
Crane-king

You walk by a plot in a cemetery
You hear a knock, it makes you hairy
Call the crane experts
Help you dig the dirt
Probably just a recently deceased's fairy

Talk about windy, a record breaker by far
A crane toppled over crushing a bunch of cars
No one was killed
Amazes me still
The goodest luck time to head for the bars

Hanging from the crane
is the end-all,
the pitied and plain
inheritor of pain.
It drifts and dangles
in the weak breeze.
You can't turn the pages.
Accept this and die.

Arnold Crane was obsessed with his journey
He had been a rich Wall Street attorney --
He had peered in his soul
Found tobacco's charcoal --
Came to grips with himself on a gurney

In all my time as a crane operator
Never dug half a hole, my mind has vacated
Coz every shovel full
A new hole is insured
Got an appointment with my psych, hate waiting

Chinese Freestyle Poem
To be a crane upon a mountainside
Would be a fine, indeed.
To be lapis-lazuli
Would also be noble.
Somehow the wind blowing in Wintertime
Makes one long for lonely places.

Cautious About Crane in Seattle
In Seattle, fallen over had a tall crane;
Down below in the street does remain;
Sound air filled;
Several killed,
And luckily it never landed in fast lane.

Bitter sweet berry
Metaphor-celebration
Native peoples loss
Bloom like a crane-fowl
Shortened name over time.
Hospitality
Given by native
People, friends, whose strange gods set
Their end destiny

Black-headed flowers wear long drooping ruffled petal skirts.
A black crane, statuesque, stands in the tall green grass amongst them.
The tallest flower - distinctively blonde - has arms to touch the crane!

The skeletal dome,?
a ghost of Hiroshima's pain,?
stands against the sky.
A child's hand,?
small and delicate,?
traces the curve of a crane.
Paper wings unfold,
?a fragile hope,
?a plea for peace.

There is a star up in Heaven
Deeply nested in my lonely heart
I talk to it every night
Its beauty is ethereal
I still love you the same
The eternal bond is so unreal
It gives me the wings of a crane

Dear Mr. Crane,
When I finally reach
the Horizon
I would like to sit with you
a while
and return your poem
well worn
for countless smile.
*Stephen Crane's "I saw a man (pursuing the horizon)"
