Poetry’s Power 

Once I was told
Poetry’s power
Comes from framing
Life so uniquely
That people see
Truths they’re hiding from

Experimenting with using the graphic to separate my prose from the poem.  What do you think?

A Haiku As I Listen To Satie 

Listening to Satie
These binary colored keys
Dancing summer light

I always envision Impressionistic artists as I listen to Satie. Just seems so perfect. Like Bach in cathedrals. 

Tonight’s Hidden Moonlight

The hidden moonlight
Obscured from my view by clouds
Now to attain sleep

And now, and good night to you all.


Diversity: A Haiku 

Each piece beautiful
Each distinctly unique
Each one critical

Simplicity 


Simplicity’s grace
Enjoying “less” in this life 

Minimalism

“…my mother died. I was with her. She is with me”

My mother died when I was 15. The impact lingers to this day.

So this piece by Masaru Goto struck me deeply:

…my mother died. I was with her. She is with me

I love the intersection of poetry and photography. I want to explore that myself.

A powerfully moving project.

 

West of invective

At times I weary

All this invective burning

I’m charred and hollow

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

The definition of “Athletic”

As a youth
Athletic meant “jock”
Of which I did not align
Now things change
And I find myself
Within that fold
Strange changes
Of life
