if i could
be a bird
i'd be
a cassowary
without
worries
that i
can't
fly
what are
these things
called wings
Form:
On a vacant field
A red fox meditates
A hawk circles
A squirrel rolls the dice
A school bus passes
An old man
the fence
sways open
onto meadows
lucky daisies
dance carefree
though the gate
freedom awaits

In a field
by the river
watching the water
flow like life
all my worries
float downstream
leaving me
feeling renewed
As quickly as possible
the
mango yellow hummingbird
swallow nectar from the Gods
from
every wildflower
in
the field of gold
if i could
be a bird
i'd be
a dodo
no one
would know
not even me
where i might
be being
extinct is a
wonderful
thing
Form:
Apple breaks free
from the tree branch
The tree misses it not.
Young boy playing
in the field-
first big delicious bite.
A large farmer's field
Is naked without the seeds
All seeds are planted
Into the wet earth to sprout
Then ripened for the market
a spice of madness-
flavours genius
as in ageing bodies-
adolescence lives on
wind writes on the field
soft lines drifting through the grass
daylight folds its gentle page
I read what it leaves
I need to pick a money tree
But had no clue where it could be
So you in the sky
Tell everyone why
You made the quest too hard for me
The Killing Field
Miracle Man

Veitnam claimed many,
our best fought and many died,
as the war raged on.

eyes focused on a rabbit...

Contest Entry "Animal Haiku"
Honorable Mention
Shooting stars streak through
The sky like God sprinkling seeds
Into the nights soil
Received 4th place in "Only Nature Allowed" contest
You, some idiot politicians!
Much of what you do
is a rather thoughtless act
and also
you should concern
the immensely explosive
impact
Jersey cows on the outskirts.
Lounging around they idle summer days away.
Comfortable in their greener pastures.

Hard working farmers
long hours spent in fields
reaping the benefits
Sending surplus
to retail stores
feeding families daily
The bumblebee ever so busy.
Stops here and there scoops every scent.
The meadow is its world.

sweet boy asleep in the field….his murderers
juveniles of hatred
god grieves everywhere they are….death
lingers tears of justice doesn’t fade
before I pour rain
I ask the field if it thirsts—
sometimes it just smiles,
content in its cloud shadow,
roots drinking from deeper springs.
wind traces
patterns through the grass,
showing how
paths can shift~
yet something in the earth holds
what we choose to keep
those were the dayes
of the slave
working all day
very little pay
no time to play
pushing a barrel wheel
made of steel
in
THE COTTON FIELD
Dusk
slowly dies
into night,
Owls arise
from their
dreams,
to survey
their
woodland
realm
Queen anne's lace gently swaying.
Common flowers grow in a peasant's meadow.
No clash of classes here.
