A Few Haiku

sizzle
the blender whirring
steaks sizzling on the grill
margarita love


les danseurs
astaire kelly hines
baryshnikov champion
man, those boys could dance


dom
puppet on a string
run my bath and bring me wine
dance, little man, dance


dance
dancing o'er flowers
waltzing around the corner
happy is the breeze


pondering haiku
ponder the haiku
so few lines to say so much
yet through them such depth

over
sit, be still and breathe
true friends won't leave you bloody
you're better off now


butterflies and moths
who are you to say
butterflies are beautiful
and moths are ugly?

Butterfly jewel tones
we become like moths one day
peaceful earth tone hues


moth journey
moths drawn to the flame
I ponder my own journey
moving toward my flame


Moth Snack
cats eyes move slowly
pondering the moth drift by
one…two…she pounces


battle scars
black and blue tattoos
hiding behind sunglasses
no peace for this girl


Hubris
red white and blue dreams
peaceful Americans sleep
foolish ignorance


unity is key
abraham lincoln
warned of divided houses
unity the key

parties divide us
tear down our brothers not foes
easier to do us in


staycation
bask in the gold sun
nap in the late afternoon
enjoy the silence


rite of passage
bold unsure eighteen
she crosses the stage alone
graduation day


summer heat
like dali watches
rochester's melting summer
abbott's freeze my soul
