the same can be said for all of us

This poem was inspired by Nick Virgilio - lily, out of the water, out of itself.  I met him at a speaking engagement in a private home , he died shortly thereafter.

that's what happens, when you watch the business channel while you write poetry

As I woke up, the haiku appeared in my semi-conscious state.

Perhaps an observation, mine?

until recently, this rare Hawaian duck was though to be extinct.   It has been seen recently.  This minimal is mine and was printed in Modern Haiku many years ago.

Just a reflection or my concept that out existence on earth does not repeat, we are here and what we do is what we do.

an early '90s minimal haiku, published in Modern Haiku.  The ku clearly reflects the zen mode and illustrates the net effect or results of unjustified anger.

I play a wind controller made by Casio (last produced in 1989), it looks like a sax, runs on batteries, has six voices and plays like an angel.    I  collect midis( Musical Instrument Digital Interface)     from the internet from the 11th century thru 2017.   I also can and scribed music composed by others and written musical notation of them to play or to give to other musicians.   Music is indeed a major part of my life.

And so the two words merge and are just two words.
Actually there are three words that merge and become twords with a "just added to it you get justwords .

While I saw this in my head, I found out that "roommate" had two "m"s .  Incredible that at 80 on 1/5/2018 I am still learning and writing.  Where did all those years go.

An acrostic poem, my first of this type
