Haiku x9 - with audio

audio link

Softly lay one down
Ears caressed, wind's whispers speak
White Autumn Blossoms


The cackling hens
Could not take away the peace
Of calm fall water


Sunshine overhead
Shady morning trees walking
October birdsong


Twin Pines sparrows flight
Standing in the morning light
Pumpkins, Autumn bright


Fall rain, sun's sharp rays
Butterfly quivering fade
Floral horizon


A sliver of peach
Cool against purple abyss
Autumn moon silence


Blind hidden sorrow
Dried up joy melting the heart
Silent winter tears


The more pure love is
Less faults in the heart to find
Early comes the Spring


Little pretty one
Laid low in stormy showers
Summer Rose standing

Writing - with audio

audio link

Writing is a type of mania
But without those less desirable
side affects of other self indulgent
behaviors. It helps one to shed the
straight jacket and washes cool
The burning fires of the soul
Refreshing ever those musty places
Trapped deep within
Giving voice to
Subterranean soundings.

Animals - with audio

audio link


FOX
The fox once caught
Will try to convince
His captor that he
Is the one ensnared

PIG FOR A STY
A pig for a sty
A ring for his nose
A laborer wallowing
In food, drink and mud
A slaughter

OLD BEAR
The old bear
Will not leave the trash
Unless shot
He dies a slow
Ugly death
Yet allow him to live
Again and Again
To the trash he goes
Close by the house
Until one day
A life is taken

THE COCK CROWS
The cock crows
Nudged by the unseen
So that the world
Might know
That all
Have been cared for
During the night

A LION'S LIFE
A lion's life
Full of pride
Is a lonely life

Swimming In The Tides - with audio


audio link

Death comes soon enough
No need to sit and wait
One block falls another is set in its place
A baby is born an old man dies

Swimming in the tides
Is not a task of leisure
It is however one way
of telling the live fish
from the dead

Reflect and Remember - with audio

audio link

The greatest plagues
Attack not the body
But the mind

Memory is a dancer
Just beyond my reach
So, I am learning to dance

Epigram Trio Plus One - with audio

audio link

The man undressed
Is distressed

Teachers seldom do
What they teach others to

(ON COMPUTERS)
The green grass won't grow
Where the green glass glows 

Life is a serial to be consumed
Once it is eaten the diet has bloomed. 

Desire Ask Ascend - with audio

audio link

DESIRE ASK ASCEND
Food loses its flavor
When there is no one
To share it with

As stones are for skipping
So words are for winning
The heart of a lovesick soul

The biggest mountains
Are climbed one step
At a time

Life and Love - with audio

audio link

Life and love are free
What we do with them
Will cost us our time
And many a person's help

Ripple - with audio

audio link

A planet cannot change orbit
Without affecting the solar system
Just as the expanding universe
Changes all matter, space and time
Even though the eye does not notice
Our thoughts and actions
Illusive in the flux of things
Create a ripple in the pool of reality
And thus change the world forever

A New Beginning - with audio

audio link

A new beginning,
When one is finished
Takes faith
Continuing on
Requires Hope
Allowing the flower
To stand again
After the storm
Producing lasting fruit
That falls from the tree
Of Love
