Yeah, well, I’m awake
Against my better judgement
Sleep’s power is strong

I adore the simplicity, as well as the challenge of Haiku. The constraints focus my mind, seeking out the essence of the moment, feeling, notion, distilling it to brilliant singularity.
Porn Bots Come And Go
Porn bots come and go
They follow you, then vanish
The internet’s tao
Ah, those followers that appear briefly then vanish abruptly….
Music Speaks
Music speaking clear
Words dancing into my heart
Soul’s revolution
Music has long held a dear spot in my heart. Speaking to my loves and passions, my deepest sadness or griefs, soaring joy or the depths of anguish, music captures it. And I feel connected, not alone.
This Evening’s Haiku : The Night
Beyond the day’s strength
Suddenly the light’s now gone
Darkness’ deceit
How We View Women: A Tanka
How we view women
We revere virginity
Sacred and profane
Beauty, yet also tainted
Our confusion is quite deep

Memories of a fading Seattle
Many memories
Walking past the empty halls
In winter’s darkness
Ages ago I lived in Seattle’s heart. At that point, beginning a transformation, becoming the economic behemoth of our now. Then we were still the refuge of the poor, downtrodden. Suburban business professionals drifting through, vanishing as the clock struck five. The flurry of buses and cars carrying them away, far away from us. I found myself wandering nighttime streets, streetlights and gentle rain accompanying my steps. An urban beauty.
To seek greatness as a poet
I love poetry
I seek to achieve greatness
First: to define that
The more I study poetry, the more I see the idea of “greatness” is illusive. A slippery dream, laughing as l try to grab hold. I see that it’s a personal journey, connecting to my deepest within.

Zen’s Essence
This is my challenge
Stare inwards free of judgement
Embrace compassion
