the empty fishbowl in the Chinese restaurant aha another haiku

very subtle use of a not often used word - id

The mind or is the mind related to god, related to ego and so on.

I never mak a mistake

I remember all those times when the kite would not stay up and finally crashed in the sand on the beach.

listening to a canary on YouTube as I select a poem

I worked on using the "guardian angel" for years, and one day while swimming and looked at the lifeguard it suddenly fit.  And doesn't a guardian angel guard lives in the same manner as a lifeguard by observing and protecting their charge?

derived from my prior poems

a poem derived from my other minimal

the second minimal, created as I looked at it is even stronger

an sad observation

it just appeared in my brain and I wrote it - 2015

may this be last time around

The face speaks for itself

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.

This minimal was inspired by my viagrapturestored written by me in May, 2005. It was in my computer, and I only began to write, rewrite and edit what I had to date, thousands of minimals. Retired for 20 years, and finding HELLO POETRY, I began the process of exhibiting and writing again. When Robert Spiess, the editor of Modern Haiku died, I began to stop writing haiku or any form of try. Unfortunately, the new editors possibly lost many poets forever.

I liked the sound and effect or repeating the words "she hesitates"

never attended one, just a funny thought

memories, always returning in my later years

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.

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

written in 1996, when mosquitos were MOSQUITOS

without a description of why, but the anger of their leader Geronimo was unfortunately understandable.

an early one word haiku, using imagery of lowering one letter and creating the balance of letters in the word itself.

an early minimal haiku that appeared in Modern Haiku in the 90s.

many times, in dreams (or what seems like dreams, structures of poems in different formats  float in my brain.  Sometimes I remember them, this is that one that I did remember.

this reflects the obvious, that "man" was the first error,  and then that was followed by a "woman" .  Or perhaps it was the "snake".  Or perhaps this reflects my cynicism of the planet called earth

my comment on the absurdity of man  - see the next minimal, "womanotherror"

This is in my opinion what happened, whether justified or not..  And the headwind never stopped during his eight years in office.

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.

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.

a minimal poem about a human energy source within the body

on of my minimals published in Modern Haiku many years ago

An acrostic poem, my first of this type

one Sunday I had a call from Robert Spiess (Modern Haiku) who enjoyed this minimal to the point of calling me about it.  I never forgot the call or the $1.00 I received for it.
