looming canyon monoliths;
shallow, racing stream....

Haiku 6/8/2016


raging waters steal
sharp edges of monoliths
acquiescence

Humanity's edifice shouldn't be built with monoliths but with myriads of well-placed stones!

Could you be serious for one minute? She asked.
Like the Dog Star? I quipped.
Radiant I glowed, and in the moment, basked;
Inexplicably, the next, I tripped....

Bricks build up
monoliths in a dead
and brown yard

The rusted tower climbs
high to cast shadows
on the cold, forgotten earth

And the windchimes laugh
sweetly as the zephyrs
tickle their silver bellies...

Ochre Field

The ritual
Of hailing Ra
Begins anew each morning.

Golden faces
straighten to meet
The first rays of their namesake.

Dew-tipped petals
Surround the ebony Cyclops
As each giant flower awakens.

They stand
Vigilant in the field
As blossomed monoliths of life.

They sway 
In tune with Mariah,
Waiting to entice the pollen seekers....

swinging quietly open
hinges humble
in unimposed servitude

the low hum of the fan
beckoning indifferently
a mere acquaintance

behold the boxlike tundra
frozen land of peace
molecules forever at rest

reluctantly yielding
monoliths
of flavor and convenience

silent cubes
cocooned in color
filled with savory promise

slumbering
in cryptic silence
close the door please...

{ Mystic Split Haiku }

 dew-tipped sunflowers
entice the pollen seekers
            with
     faces to the sun
              ~

    cinnamon cyclops
amid bright golden faces
             hail
  Ra, as their namesake
              ~ 

   blossomed monoliths
stand vigilant in the fields
            sway
   in tune with the wind

Ambling through the green monoliths today,
With no notion of date or time,
Knowing not where I am going
Only that I am on my way,
In this land I call Solitopia,
Not yet renown in song or rhyme.

Abounding green, endless woods, cover this place
And in it you may see the light of God's face.
Come and wonder in the glades, and stay a space, 
In the last free land of these days....

Towering concrete monoliths
Loom above seemingly mindless
Lemmings rushing, bumping, pushing
Their way in endless, moving lines
Of backward and forward motion;
Each with programmed destinations
Instilled by subtle brainwashing
By the few who reside above
In luxurious penthouse suites.
Below one of the unthinking
Queue falls dead on the cold pavement
Only to be trampled underfoot
Unattended amidst raucous
Noise of taxi horns and Sirens....

Deep within the warm heart of the magic evergreen
A secret pool adorned with rocks of many shapes is seen
Glowing waterfalls of aqua stream from up on high
And out the shining monoliths that reach into the sky

Around the edges rise the cuddling jungles, green and dark
And looming grey monstrosities bring monsoon tides to park
Open caves that echo, shelter lonely men from skies
And whisper dreams of fading time among the fireflies

Hand-me-down myths,
  like ancient monoliths,
    clan's fondest memories
      by nostalgia embellished;

larger-than-life sagas,
  truer-than-truth legends,
    hyperbolic narrations
      of happy exaggerations;

that's ancestral history,
  coloring one's genealogy,
    seeping, coursing down
      bloodlines, tribal milestones,


its gravitational whirl stirs
  generations'  imagination,
      east, west, north, south
         through word of mouth!...
