Calling oneself a poet
So boldly hubristic
Arrogant and empty
Of dignified reserve
Category: General Musing
Freedom: Speech vs Lunch
Both lunches and speech
They are striving to be free
Each in its own way
I’ve thought about the intersection of these two conceptions of freedom for some time. Working on capturing the subtle distinctions between the two ideas.
The Great Blue Heron
This gangly bird
Inelegant legs, bearing
Ghost upon the marsh
Yosemite
Majestic mountains
Magnificent light falling
Tranquility’s song
Seattle’s Rain Arrived
Raindrops tap windows
Gusts rattling the dried leaves
Autumnal cold rain
The predicted reasons have come. Trees bend in the breeze, leaves drift across my drive. Summer’s memory flutters within the dried, damp leaves.
A Morning Meditation
Forcing wakefulness
I resist vigorously
Weariness grinds
I pull my dust together
And rise
Awakened, now returning to sleep
Awakened briefly
Activity around me
Now, again, silence
A Haiku for #Seattle’s #Gumwall
This eclectic spot
Seattle’s famous gumball
Well worn paving stones
Writing’s Mystery
Amusing
How I put pen to paper
Expecting certain words
To flow gracefully
I’m always surprised
At what lands upon
The page
Dreaming of Home
I want my home
To be worthy of flowers
Bedecked with candles
And the fragrances
Of breads, sweets
And teas, swirled into
A wondrous blend
Of my heart’s delights
