may this be last time around

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.

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

an sad observation

"power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely"

memories, always returning in my later years

There are no cats in my home.

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

a minimal poem about a human energy source within the body

The right poem for the day before Christmas

a very early minimal haiku poem

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

a poem derived from my other minimal

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.

Almost like "justwords" which I put together, "closetourselves" has the effect of hiding the "tour." The meaning of the minimal is that we put ourselves into a closet and away from socializing or living in the community, adding to it, improving it, making the most of our gift of being alive.

another cat haiku

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?

The naked lady who rode through the town to win a bet.

I am not a Buddhist, but fascinated by their beliefs and what they portray.

looking forward to March

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