Kobayashi Issa
A huge frog and I,
staring at each other,
neither of us moves.

Kobayashi Issa
All the time I pray to Buddha
I keep on
killing mosquitoes.

Threadbare young lovers
Lost blooms felled in November

Seán Mac Falls
(Sonnet)

At the end of night she bathes in light,
We tussle in the warmth of morning,
The blankets and she are of sea foam
And found shells, whispering lost ocean
Words.  Our bed is a raft, drifting aloft,
The coffee is brewing with mellow sun,
Her smiles, filling my silly, giddy mug.
Soon, we walk to the pebbled beach,
Her hair is waving at the friendly seas,
Gulls are circling in the moving skies
Reeling with the slow, slipping tides
And I skip stones with her as our feet
Sink in the milk of morning sands—
Must we be off to Dublin town?

Read between the lines.






You’d find that the words
left unwritten
would scream
the loudest.

On Fire

None could have foreseen

a time so dire.


For he is the man

who set himself on fire.

Treasure in forest,
Water dropping crystal beads—
Dew on wild orchids

Weep

Back of her hand
ran across the red on her lips.

Smearing what once was delectable.

Attempted to wipe the drops
which quickly turned to rivulets,
running black down her cheeks.
