To the Music!

Back to the music from TV and Internet,
Enjoy again a fresh air, no cigarette,
Let dance together, now is good weather!


Camouflage

seems what it can seem,

                 really there, although unseen,

                       chameleon blends in.

And Was Blue Earth...

And was blue Earth, green woods and hills,
Place that is good, animals had a dream:
My dear, remember me and my deer...

Midnight Bloom

dama de noche

                  fragrant blossom of midnight

                          there, though out of sight !

The Cosmic Crumbs

trapped
within 
slices of bread
we 
live in 
a multi-universes
i said
where 
the
birds eat 
the 
cosmic crumbs


Star-Lit Smog

. . . star-lit dewdrops glow

                           thick, toxic, black puffs billow

smothering smog,  go . . .

Supreme

...to wish, crave to be,

                 remember, then live the dream,

                 life's purpose supreme...

Ripples to the shore, As the stone impacts the still; Physics takes its course. < my first shot at Haiku >

Calming Eye

Surrounded by bane
Motionless peaceful inside
Hurricane’s power

Temperate blood on menu;

Inspiration In Haiku

Stand firm oh, dear tree—
      be the font of might, and see
                                   clouds soar above you!

When Paiute canoes paddled :

Sunlight heralds a new day
Both fade into dark

Against a sunset backdrop

Graceful Descent

Palm holds “Old Man's” face,
eyes are closed resigned to fate.
His FIRST fall is LAST!

Forest Night

Babies' hungry cries
Mother rises, spreads her wings
The night holds its breath
