Looming on the horizon
A flock of yellow jacket bees
Pollinating red coral rifts
Thirsting for the sea
Which is that aspect of me
Looming in delusional ennui
Numbed to innate inner sentience
Of bliss outpouring in innocence
Looking back, was the rose in me,
Looser having his heart savagely grime...
Looming at the jar,
Was the poisoned love.
Drama against the footlight’s glare
Phantoms crouch,
Looming shadows,
Revolving props,
The stage disappears with the play.
Inside the ice cave
Drops of fear and regret form
Looming icicles,
Enslaved by apprehension
Let your fiery heart break free
mount baker looming
snow clad with vapors rising
sleeping volcano

Contest "An Haiku From Your Window
Spacetime but emergent,
the string on nature’s kite
Reeling in a looming giant
—beyond both day and night
(Amtrak R5: July, 2021)
Retirement coming
Crescent looming on the back
Wrapped old trees in cloth.
Written: August 26, 2021
Your hair smells
of conifer forests
and the Michaelmas summer
that I nurture on my palms.
Winter is looming,
they cut down the trees.
Daylight sparkling
Rushing vehicles
Deadlines looming
Sweating and running.
I love sleep.
Darkly stripping.
Softly slipping.
Deepness, forgetting.
the blissful gobble
of a roly-poly bird . . .

The spirit of death-
Always looming overhead
Will it be me?
Or will it be them?
What will I lose today?
Who will I lose today?
Will it be me today?
Salute to the smoke!
Looming near the blue sky..
On this sizzling summer's afternoon.
Some saint has lit the far fire
In the forest's upper cedars' cover.
Looming large in my absence,
the silence screamed out my name
Present in my rejection
—refusing to play the game
(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2014)
Fuel crisis
One analysis.'
Liquid lock-down'
Looming now?
Sleight of tounge
And there's the
Slight of honour
Don't believe
The lies they
Proffer.!
a ship has sailed
tears flowing
a labored breath
upon my cheek
off in the distance
dark shadows looming
out to sea her image fading
a ship has sailed
Shadows loom over
Evoking gray surroundings
Confusing your mind
Until one day you decide
To make up mind forever

Living overtly upon a burning bridge, life stands captive within the vision of a
thousand. Clouded seduction, the epiphany of eradication looming among senses
overt.
Form:
MODERN HAIKU
nature looming in dark
choking ice dust heaven earth
worlds cauterized black
trees barren childless
dead before time erased time
burnt blood dehydrated
The sands of time
swirl about the streets
fleeing sunset
fearful of a darkness
looming in each daybreak.

From Trump Did Sense
From Trump as usual we did sense,
A lie was formed as false pre-tense;
Time consuming,
While looming;
With much suspense were very tense.
Jim Horn
Business May Be Booming
We heard business may be booming;
Overhead many rumors are looming;
Times are hard;
Scarred and marred;
So much sin seems to be consuming.
Jim Horn
Distant Horizon
Looming ahead and not near
Days mark the distance.

safe keeping
I put you in a
safe place in my heart.
we had words
you left into the looming dark.
I saw you with more clarity,
and yet, I hold you in a safe
place in my heart.
You learn to embrace your very own darkening
When trapped in a prison of your own making.
When it is the lights that were always looming,
Yet never letting the light in for any healing.
