Part One
WALK IN THE PARK (ON A GOOD DAY)
________


ROADS

Where choices begin,
some are quick to find its end,
wise keep journeying.


STAINED GLASS*

Shattered pieces make
The cathedral of your soul,
stained light still shines true.


WINDOW

Take a peek inside
the lives within kept warm.
Make yourself / a home.


BUTTERFLY

a dangerous thing:
inspiration's fragile wings
metamorphoses.


LOTUS FLOWER

Morning-star-burst-bloom
floral crown on tranquil lake
she walks on water.


NAPE

Warm whispers of lips
down the meadows of your neck.
Sweet familiar bed.


BOMBYX MORI

White mulberry leaves,
its veins univoltine wines
silk, worm's waste of time.


PEREGRINE

Swiftest falcon wings
keenest sight from highest heights
sky-diving arrow.


SWALLOWS

Raindrops' graceful plumes
swift wisps and springs arriving
two tail brothers' breeze.


RENEWAL'S GLEE

Cherry blossom clowns
winsome pink dandruff laughter.
Spring floral snowflakes.


TAI CHI

Dawn's ceremony
wet grass tickling our feet
we wave away *night.


SOCCERMOM

Mother's sideline cheers
loud for wheelchair legged champ
no goals made red card.


WEDDING

Now that we've fallen,
hand in hand so grippingly,
until death our kiss.


FAMILY CIRCUS

Death defying lunch
life in a trapeze show gasp!
Fights for ringmaster.


PEANUTS

Child's play tricks we played
like pigpen we ***** love
Flight of red barons.


OSMOSIS

Blossoms in Springtime
burst like  Japanese kisses,
how to love haiku.
