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.

In my brain, Adam then Eve doesn't work (forget the snake). The first two human like creatures, our ancestors, were probably both female, with one of them, the one more aggressive, mutated to a male and then evolving from that point on.

There are no cats in my home.

an sad observation

memories, always returning in my later years

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

"power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely"

a minimal poem about a human energy source within the body

a very early minimal haiku poem

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

The right poem for the day before Christmas

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

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

another cat haiku

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.

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.

a poem derived from my other minimal

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

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?

looking forward to March

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