You burned
Like the brightest of bright flames
And,
as is always the case
with bright flames,
you were snuffed out.
Early.
Far, far too early.

Epigram in verse

Always keep in mind that
your love for each other
should be greater than
your need for each other

HAIKU ON CHANGE

Do not resist change;
It is inevitable.
Resist being changed!

EPIGRAM IN VERSE

Let blockheads read what blockheads wrote,
Lord Chesterfield once said.
Thereby inviting us to judge him
As a dunderhead.

Let wise men read what wise men wrote
Is what I say instead,
And you may judge me for yourself
Since my work’s quite widespread.

A Writer's Prayer - Haiku

I would exchange the
Entire output of my life
For one perfect word

Confrontation

Ajbure confrontation.

You gain nothing in trying
to demonstrate your worth to another.

You may gain a world
if you believe in your own worth.

Haiku to a Prime Minister

Don't forget, unless
You control your attitude,
It will control you.
