pendant beauty

unexpectedly
the town's fountain was frozen 
in pendant beauty 
we marveled for seven days
until the sun released it

she stood strangely not feeling 
good ... unaccustomed

Pink, Red and White.....

As a Wedding guest
I wore Color
and a smile
and had the time of my life....
but love crept in unexpectedly...
and that I almost did not 
recognize......

boasting about killing watches

Watches do not work on my daughter or I
The ones we wear unexpectedly die
Our body electricity is different than most
We kill watches the old lady did boast

Distinct owl voice
Echoes favorably
Nocturnal and mysterious
So unexpectedly forest friendly
Hidden away, a dark shadow
Unique who sound

Panic consumed our Nation,
Fanatic cowards
Tried to shatter our union,
But United We Stand.

Time Alone

Unexpectedly, it all began
Two people longing for comfort
Enjoying time together
Intimate moments shared

The Courtship

The first shy, eve-avoiding glances
   Cautious, desire pops up, looks around
Unexpectedly, eyes meet; cheeks flush crimson
   Could you... Would you... Could we...

Beyond the moat


Though it is rare in everyday's sail
It does happen quite unexpectedly
Sea arrives in the shape of a vessel
Pulls the existence beyond the moat

Autumn Reverie In a Graveyard

this poem is a single line tanka


Unexpectedly strolling into a daydream filled with bright colors, still seeing you here not there alone beneath cold marble.

The Star Has Fallen

Unexpectedly somewhere the star has fallen,
Having dropped a thin ray of hope.
And the trains have rushed along the world 
To shout about great grief, about unearthly love.

Two Lost Souls

Two lost souls met one fateful day 
 They both were so sad and lonely
    Love was a fairy tale until, 
 It showed up so unexpectedly

Arrival of Luna Maura

Luna Maura arose unexpectedly, unbidden
In the midst of the lake of the waterfall
We recognized the power of this water faerie
Legend had predicted her for thousands of years

Plane Is 78 Years Late

The airplane had been missing since 1944.
We were shocked to see the phantom soar.
It unexpectedly appeared on a summer’s day.
Flying at us between clouds orange, pink and gray.

Summer Returned

Summer returned
    unexpectedly
    in the form of  
      a bumblebee

  It buzzed everywhere
    as surprised as I...
    then put its stinger away
  ~ watched the day go by

Universal Law

Earth 
Unexpectedly
Rocked
Sun darkened
Moon dimmed its light
Stars  
Falling 
From heaven
Famine
Pestilence
The designing of sorrow
Seems like the end
My lawyer is screwed.

Love Quells

Listen to poem:
when feelings rage
to fever pitch
and seas rise
to tortuous,
the simplest
open arms, loving embrace,
with puppy pats on the chest
quells and dispels
the fury
quite unexpectedly.

Making our Day

   The element of surprise
       often wide opens eyes
    in a most delightful way

    Be it a dramatic sunrise
       or a foe’s compromise ~
    unexpectedly making our day

uncomfortably upsetting us,

A Harlot's Fire

An aging streetwalker, she
   A hell-and-damnation preacher, he
      Met at death's door, unexpectedly

His life she saved, as hers expired
   Ministerial brimstone melted
      ~ by a harlot's fire

As You Move Forward In Life

As you move forward in life
Take everything to heart 
Be cautious always 
Right from the start 
Situations come about unexpectedly 
Things appear on a whim 
Lift your chin upward 
And reach for the brim

The Sweetest Kiss

The sweetest kiss
Came not from a lover
But, rather unexpectedly
From a friend
Softly scented
Sirens
Screaming quietly
Whispering loudly
The scent
The tasteThe sweetest kiss
Now I know
