Bruises
Risk flirts with defeat
Beaten doesn't mean you're beat
Some plans trust retreat
My hope includes the worst case scenario.

Pretend I'm taller
Grabbing god by the collar
Odds never matter
I'll find a way.

Not without a fight.
The cruelest of all
To suffer despite resolve
Fighting while you fall
I refuse to die before it gets better and that's a threat.

Moonlit lake (Haiku)
Sit and watch over
The silenced, still moonlit lake
waiting to be saved

For the best
If you come back to
find me dead, it's just because
I see what you meant
I won't
but I wish I would.

Haiku #1 (my first)
Santa Clause, I still believe in you
I know where your power is
It’s the love of children
OK you haiku experts, chime in. Am I doing this write? Only a crazy rhyming poet would try his first haiku about Santa Clause in the middle of July.

End of Spring
Fallen cherry blooms,
Sticks to my wet skin like grief,
Brief and hard to hold.
Buds along the branch,
Closed and holding on to spring,
I hold on to you.

Our Last Bouquet
The roses never asked,
Why you didn’t return home.
It just bloomed and died.
The petals fell slow,
Each one a mute final word,
We could never say.

Hollowed to Bloom
In the wet forest,
A carcass cradled by moss.
Life feeds on its loss.
Roots drink memory,
Silence thick as fallen leaves,
Time softens the bone.
