Information v disinformation'

Dezi Freeman we are told killed two police
Wounded another, disturbing much peace'
Took a woman hostage and three kids
Message from the media, who from the police
Get their bits.' Meanwhile they hold Mali and
Consider her charging.yet she was not a hostage and where
It was said.' Not really clarity enlarging, how were
The kids treated after a fearfull experience'

A Triad of Tanka V: Forever Her

That first piercing stare

Which shoved my young innocence

Into confusion.

Suddenly...my little pond

Was tipped into her ocean.
-------------------------------------

On the way to work

I would linger in the streets,

Shopping in windows,

Hoping to catch a shy glimpse

Of breezing cloud wrapped in flame!

-------------------------------------

The long road was wide;

But could not hold the whole World.

Though at that moment...

It seemed to me that the road

A Triad of Haiku V

A leaf detaches

From some resplendent, green twig.

All Summer shudders!
-------------------------------------

The wind calling out,

Like a high, mewing buzzard,       

Behind nearby hills.   
-------------------------------------

Winter came around...

Slipping in beneath the door

As I lit the fire.

I talked with the new moon tonight

I talked with the new moon tonight,
And asked: - How fast,
How slow
The seasons come and go,
The birds migrate, the grass is getting dry,
And not be late
In life,
In death,
At birth, how loud do we have to shout?
How long to stay?
And wait,
And count,
How slow, how fast we have to love,
And get a glimpse of quicksand,
A touch of

Strong-think v wrong-think'

You can't hold it both ways,  In meaning.' You
Are either direct.' Or  directionless..And thus
In a mess.' No less-en-ing, yet less kenning will ensue.' Though
You deny..Its more obvious..Showing through'
True.' Reality denying.? I find it at best tedious'
Not to mention trying.! And now cov-idiocy is
Really dying.' Symtoms seen, idio-tantric bouts
And much de-crying..Tantrum-atic antic's its
Virtuless incandesacnt-cy

A Tale From The Loom - I to V

I let your eyes to visualise a garden on a loom;
Bluebells and marigolds in sway and lavender in bloom;
And there to play in a luscious green two kittens wrestling;
Up high in chirping swallow's play are feathered friends a-singing.
A figure of a handsome man is settled on a chair;
And by his side a beauty pure strokes

Flower Chide V,Petalbreach

He looked at Rose not past, but through
And said, “What waits will change you too.”
She plucked out a petal and handed him.
It pulsed between the stem and rim.

Rose turned back with nothing said,
Her footsteps soft, like vows long shed.

Hence the petal breached and then it reached
A world where love lay bruised and breached.

Subs v Dubs

In the debate between dubbing and subbing 
I side with subs to savor the original 
mellifluous French, Tamil, Korean, Italian...
Reading the subtitles assists the deaf 
and hard of hearing although voiceovers 
benefit the blind and vision impaired.
Historically dubbing was employed 
by fascist governments to advance
the nationalist agenda. In our own time 
the tendency to consider

Why Your Cities Burn, Part V

...A jolt ran though the broken men,
like wraiths they rose, streamed for the door,
Gobayth waved them on until
nobody remained anymore.
They raced on towards the small hut
where all of the pick-aces lay,
some guards were starting to notice,
running about every which way.
Gobayth wished the poor men luck,
but he did not follow their path,
and instead ran to the

CHINESE FEMALE POETS: ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS

Sung to the tune of “I Paint My Lips Red”
by an anonymous courtesan or Li Ch’ing-Chao
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch

After swinging and kicking lasciviously,
I get off to rouge my palms.
Like dew on a delicate flower,
perspiration soaks my thin dress.
A new guest enters
and my stockings flop,
my hairpins fall out.
Pretending embarrassment, I
