You are an erroneous mirror with a horribly distorted plane,
the figure find reflected on it's surface too are  you,miserable one!
And the perplexed observer?Who else, it's you, do you realize?
Don't complain or  blame it on  others, it's you who should decide,
where to begin and when, to set right whatever has gone wrong.
*President Harry .S.Truman kept a sign on his desk with this sentence.
"Heal thyself to heal the world".Don't ask for whom the bell tolls
When i was a boy
i sailed through a world of dreams
and now i am old
but i still feel that wonder
and the magic of it all
floating in a  miracle
little ship of dreams
Choka
it is important
to have all our emotions
and freely visit with them
to know them, to respect them
and to tell them only truth
Tanka
i love your body
its sweet topography
and sublime measure
i love your colouring
so pleasing to my eyes
and perfect for your form
i love your silken skin
and its electric touch
that always speeds my pulse
i love the way you move
your femininity
a poem to my heart
i love your voice's sound
its rising and falling
no sweeter song exists
i love your sparkling eyes
full of wisdom and fun
so beautiful they are
but most of all my love
i love wondrous you
Choka
i am just a fool
guilty of loving blindly
with all of my heart
Senryu
I once new a man named Tom Wylie
Who had a wife named Al he prized highly
From Saint Helena to Dar
They traveled so far
That the sun burnt their wits quite dryly
Limerick
Dedicated to my dear friends Tom and Alvina Wylie, sadly long gone from this mortal coil.
coyote eyeing me
standing near a stop sign
mangy, calm and cool
