As night descends
Summer’s air cools
I enjoy tranquility
A moment, flowing
Quickly, as life
Demands attention
Westward colors
Embrace the sky
Smoke, and other
Things, transcend
To beauty

Most everything that isn’t a haiku or tanka falls into this category lately. Subject to change, of course.
Children’s Laughter
This sound
Laughing children
Always a delightful way
To awaken
Transformations
My child prepares
The next journey
Of schooling
A single step
This new world
Transformation
Intimidates some
Others feel promise
Some blend them
Strange balance
The Changing Season
Boys training
Football season nears
Air cooler this morn
And wet fog upon glass
Autumn’s inevitability
Soon, so soon
Finding Beauty
In these days
<
p style=”font-family:"”>Where ugliness is glorified
<
p style=”font-family:"”>There are moments of beauty
<
p style=”font-family:"”>Which make my soul sing
The draw of contentment
Laying upon sheets
Contentment flows within
The world’s demands
Speak oh so loudly
Eventually I must heed
This siren’s call
Fighting Insecurities
Insecurities torment
My broken psyche
Bringing out internal pain
Denying my gifts
Dragging on my dreams
I shall resist
Love this image I found over at The Odyssey Online. Definitely go give them a look.
The big lives of small children
Awakened by
<
p style=”font-family:"”>Voices of early risers
<
p style=”font-family:"”>Small children
<
p style=”font-family:"”>With big voices
<
p style=”font-family:"”>So much
<
p style=”font-family:"”>Personality
<
p style=”font-family:"”>They occupy
<
p style=”font-family:"”>Far more space
<
p style=”font-family:"”>Than their bodies
<
p style=”font-family:"”>Would belie

Within destruction’s song
within destruction’s songs
lie the call of rebirth
phoenix’s prophetic
return from the flames
oblivion
Innocence
Innocence’s core
Deep into the abyss
Consumed by our longing
Willing sold for love
A fair trade?
