Premium Membermy favorite tree

woods above my house
surround beautiful grown tree
a great place for shade

as i sit and write
tree listens to my thoughts
and shakes in delight


Premium Membera great combination

pen and paper meet
intertwine on blank paper
a perfect marriage

Premium MemberCrystalline Eye

I see something near 
Crushing a crystalline eye
Hello, I am God

Premium MemberA POETIC PLOY

I have seen some sloppy sonnets
Syllables buttoned wrong
Rhymes wrangling for recognition
Tripping over the final couplet
Rambling free verse
Ignoring the caution of line breaks
Stuttering in search of continuity
Freedom stifled in search of submission
Haiku
Mimicking a Geisha dancer
Mocking Basho’s frog
Quatrains leaving the station
Destinations … unknown
Mice trapped in a maze
Cursing the odor of the cheese
Knowing it is not a goal
But a test

Forget the cheese
Become the mouse
Dodge the traps
Be thrilled by the adventure
Of trying on a sloppy sonnet

Premium Memberneeding some rejuvenation

a spring breeze needed 
to rejuvenate my thoughts 
opening my mind


Premium Memberrhyming haiku for the hapless

within tall tower
lie the trappings of power
they charge by the hour

more than idle wish
beyond turmoil and deceit
search for lasting peace

results may vary
when words pursue their quarry
brave soon turn wary

no world famous sleuth
sought the source of lasting truth
within voting booth

life as form letter
deceiving the begetter
is simpler better?

odd things which we do
some people play sudoku
others write haiku

writing what we see
becomes confusing to thee
yet thus will it be

Premium MemberRhythmic Roommate

As we lay prostrate
Tabula rasa-blank page
Word play we engage

Sleight of hand we write
Together with tongue magic
Comic and tragic

Poetic dual
Like the bards of Vienna
We've burnt sienna

We foster and play
With our words and our phrasing
Not mean, not praising

We engage with rhyme
Each other's druthers, "Respect!"
To urge, not neglect

Sometimes we flirt and
Sometimes we fling dirt, but me
Cajolery, you

Sully the bully
Flatter, not as indicters
We are cowriters

So in this haiku
I don't offer you some prose
But hand you a rose

Premium MemberFroze

Slowdown, it’s hailing 
My hands outside the window 
God tears have frozen

when moonbeams intrude 
on edge of a graphite night—
my pulse feels a rush

Premium MemberWriting A Haiku

     to write a haiku
here is what you need to do
     choose a nature scene

     a large thirsty moose
drinking from a flowing stream
     nature meets its needs

     count the syllables
you need for each of the lines
     five, seven, and five

     state your thought clearly
put nature on center stage
     now give it a try
