Hiding from our fears
Is like cropping a dead horse;
Neither moves an inch.

Hiding From Fear

Haiku

Fear that we hide from
Is like cropping a dead horse;
It always stays put.

Tear gas canisters and rubber bullets
are hurled at their direction,
yet they rise again and again,
like anthills cropping out from earth.
The rains normally beat them, but keep
on rising and rising from the ground…...

Sunny days are really warming
Evening makes you become yawning
Everybody is laughing while working
Digging seed to get good cropping
Ivy poison is a dreadful thing
Needs medicine to heal your rushing
Getting ready to prepare for Thanksgiving...

in soft outline
strokes
whorls&
      stains
cropping close
 
    piercing black
upright
&
 informal
  imaginary &surprising

 ambiguous
perhaps
 an allusion
      
 something from
 nothing
      refined
evocations
of
minimalist
  tracery...

Cropping the picture, now perfect
Consign bad vibes to bin
No accident, as all suspect
Yet surely not a sin

We need not trauma bond
Cord cutting, magic wand
Sit with those, of who fond

Ugliness rupture
Cropping the picture

Okay I promise not to write about age again
Seems I've beaten the subject to “death”
There's that word again it keeps cropping up
It will stop creeping up before you know it though
And I will find it quite difficult to breathe
I won't be aware then the lights go out
And then nothing...
So what will I call this state of being
A transitional state on my way to the top floor...

TIME - PATIENT   HUSBAND
 
 
Time and tide for no man are stopping
But time can slow fast when she’s shopping
 
A one-dress day is mighty long
And a two-dress day is even longer
A pair of shoes day is longest of all
 
Patience for hair and manicure must be strong
For  four perfume testers  even stronger
New earrings  - strongest of all

And my time-field is suffering cropping
As the time-barometer continues dropping...

A map over a life stream a king's will and apostle of reign of power is a assumption or is the assumption real,

Head of the class or head of deception who could will good fortune a pond a throne of accepting, 

Laughter found with in the seven gates could money and throne of a pass haste to exist what is truth purification,

Understanding is there more then a conception what position of cropping is 
made of yet man....

Tripping, skipping, lipping Lee. I’ve got a wart hog, you’re on my knee!
Spiking, liking, biking me, I’m going to travel, far as you can see.
Hopping, bopping, cropping, key. Fits in a door knob, bigger than me.
Smacking, tracking, fracking, we.  You are a he, I am a she.
Shoving, loving, doving, bee.  From unknown places, now here with thee.
Wondering, thundering, asundering gee.  Leave well enough alone, and I will get you some tea....

COMPLEXITY
addressed
  &simplified
quietly emotional

this figurative
emotion
  driven manipulated
cropping up
then
discovered
   finding the range
in a
haze  of silence

THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived...

I think of the little café in Berlin
Where we breakfasted sitting outside
And the strolls that we took from our Danish hotel
With the icy canal as our guide.

Gelato in Italy, pea soup in Prague
And hot cocoa on cold Swedish streets,
The memories cropping unbidden and yet
Sweet and lovely, like welcoming treats.

My travel’s on hold but these flashes are proof
That experiences while you’re away
Make a lasting impression to savor and mull
When you’re stuck in a pandemic day....
