swirling possibilities
i see only hope.

Short Poems 8-14-13

Laughable
the size of her shorts
Wow!

Double take!
Nope, That's a woman.

book of Haiku

So i have realized it has been one year of writing haiku on this blog. A year already!
Now is the time to review, edit and consider seeking a publisher.
If you have a favorite haiku of mine drop me an email. i'd love to hear what you think!

haiku of my own
to travel, to grow, to be
Virgin Spring in writ.

Hot stormy breeze
on an otherwise perfect day
- early June

yard sale treasure trove
utopia of useful?
-i got a dollar.


nothing going on
big boss stops by to say hi
scramble, look neat, smile.

dandelion

the wind plays with fuzz
as if it is snowing-
dandelion season.

the poems i read
about trees echo deep in
my soul - spring raindrops.

continually
i poke at my computer.
did anything change?

a thunderstorm comes
bright blobs on the radar screen.
EVERYONE INSIDE!

poetry time again
all quiet on the home front-
afternoons at Kahn's

Boredom, tedium-
then POW long lines of people
late night snack with beer.

Kahn's Renga #1

I'll have great hall beef
spinach artichoke flatbread
carrot ginger soup

BLT no A
mediterranean nosh
fennel sausage kale

chinoiserie with
sauvignon blanc, to go, wait
What am I eating?

spontaneously today

If i had a husband
on a sunny Sunday noon
i would force him to grill.

This poem proves that language naturally flows in Haiku.
...or i've been writing too many of them.

Today's haiku is
incognito, secret, hush.
Big bosses are here.

Rush, hurry, faster!
I need more of everything
halfway through lunch rush.

4/2/13

hello, good evening
the many ways to greet you
we're friends please don't go.

from my station I see
people enjoying the sun
run, tease, play... spring.

Cook staff leave at two.
I can see why. Quietly
I wait here for five.

Napkin haiku
brown eco- friendly
wipe the crumbs from my smile.
Now I am ready!

It's a long day here
quietly waiting for you
winter shadows shift.

New food up in here!
Sandwiches, salad, good soup,
at Kahn's IMA.

Morning baklava
sitting in my stomach, yum.
To nap or fight it?

happy medium
the understanding smile
change of attitude.

business strategy to launch.
put faith in action.

Fantasy: peony

Poetry floats down

on my pale pink peony

melt, swim, live again. 

Again art and haiku go together in my creative flow. This was the after image of a dream. The haiku came 11pm the next night. It was fun following a fantasy. I hope you enjoy it.

Art & Haiku irrevocably joined

It reads:  This chaos inside

               orange and fierce will not prevail. 

               Good, green, growing. Me.

If I had but known
I'd have brought a book to read.
time can move so slow.

poem

Today i will write haiku
instead of a list of things to do
and give joy a chance.

portrait model

Last night I was art.
They drew pictures of my face.
What fun sitting still!

Current job must go
in order to truly grow.
"Do not be afraid."
