every night
and destroys them;
destroys himself

BACKYARD DRAMA
big old tree trunk…
sunny spot
with dancing shadows
backyard picnic
birds seeds bread
cats
A camphor tree trunk
catches up memories tape
tears of old woman
Tree trunk bears carving
Initials of boy and girl
Lasting love tribute

*For James Edward Lee Sr.'s I Love U 2 Haiku
I am not that person
I was not that person
I may never be that person
for
that person is me
unfree
hiding inside an old
gutted-out tree
trunk
tiger like striping
forearm looks like a white tree trunk
finger leaves at tip
smooth and half way warm
polka dotted with freckles
tiny grandma hands
Saw two love birds arguing,
not a pretty flight – one flew
left while still holding on --
as the other persisted right;
the tree-trunk ahead held its ground...
wave of bushy tail
from tree trunk a tale to tell
all in a nutshell

perched on a tree trunk
a lark enchants with its song...
of mirth at daybreak

Plip plop plip plop falls
the raindrops on the red leaves
as the blue breeze keeps
fondling the fragrant buds and
the tickling shakes the tree trunk

While poking around in an old tree trunk
I came nose to nose with a stinky skunk
He suddenly raised his tail
Twas' such a horrible smell
For my wife said that I stink, stank, and stunk
Collective consciousness
Folded over into a square
Wrapped around a tree trunk
Etched with a scimitar
Another guidepost
To the morning star
Ad nauseam
Barba tenus sapientes
Grumpy Grizzly yawns
Hollow tree trunk awaits –
Hibernation
Note: I’d like to dedicate this entry for Andrea’s contest to
Daver Austin, who describes himself as a “grumpy” old man.
Listen to poem:
peek
a boo
I
see you
hiding there
behind
the
tree trunk.
For your hair
blows out streaming
in the wind
reaching
out
beyond
the tree's bark.
It flicks
like
a flag
flaps
mama deer and fawn
at bird feeder this morning
a hesitation
mama deer butts red
feeder slams against tree trunk
but scaring neither
mama deer and fawn
consume bird feed on the ground
forest disappear
The overgrown Amazon ape
With his furry tree trunk wide nape
Flew over wearing a red satin cape
Birds cringed at his cumbersome shape
He carried a bag made of crepe
In plum, fuchsia and possibly grape
A fancy one-of-a-kind hairy ape
Tree trunk dulled the axe,
feller had to sharpen and wax,
apply strength twice as much,
to fell the tree as such,
all arduous deeds are about same,
you have to work hard,hard and hard,
honing,cutting and nibbling,
before they lead you to any fame.

storing food for the winter
holes drilled in tree trunk

Time
His middle was like a tree trunk
You could see how his time was passing
Through the holes in his belt
Each of them frayed and misshapen
Before it was discarded for a new one
Round, perfect
Ever further from the beginning
Ever closer to the end
Listen to poem:
The force that filled this sail
blew dust off crest of desert dunes
howled sighs in forest tree-trunk array
whistled a tune in rampart rafters
lulled a wheat field to shimmery shivers
chilled bones to curdle 'n crack
tired,
seeped out a crack,
and blew away.
Birds seem loud today
Their birdseed gone
Stolen by deer last night
One feeder destroyed
Butted up against tree trunk
Until she gave up,
Falling to the ground,
in pieces
Delighting the deer
who feasted on
ground served bird food
Cardinals are not happy
the harshest of all inventions
wind machine of origin divine
driving plank through tree trunk
and the animals in the zoo understand
code yellow, orange, red
time remaining: just a shred
deciding what to wear
as the maelstrom cometh
make up your mind
ask the angels
savor of fresh rain
bird house fastened to tree trunk~
beak full of earthworms
nestlings bulging cheeks
leaves its nest gravity pulls~
prompt upward movement

ACQUIESCENCE
Late March
It’s depressing
Dirty snow and windy
A scrap of paper tatters by
And wrinkles itself around a tree trunk
The sky is overcast but still
All hangs in time stagnate
One gazes out
Resigned
