A chill in the breeze (Haiku Tanka)
The morning rainfall
drizzled petals pink and white
the chill in the breeze
morning coffee, woken soul
tiny birds sing a new morn'

I'll not
yield this bar

the devil is wed
fending memory
I hold animal captive
but it
parents my mettle

fur
clothe each self a dupe
unclear what we would portray
cling to our cur beasts
zoo of personalities
and never the funds to feed them

...with a side of fire
Wishing to be warm
They thought about each other
In each others arms
Embraced in the warmth of heart
Ignited by loves fire

Those lazy days when
Those lazy days when
Your soul pleads with you to leave - -
So you leave the house
You get in the car, city bound
And breathe in the books and ink

Advice For A Butterfly
You in the cocoon
As you come in this world soon
Be kind, brave and strong
With wings many will love you
When worm no one will see you.
Sweet butterfly, heed my advice.

The water flows free
The water flows free
and caresses the landscape - -
winter comes along.
The river is now frozen
And what was is gone away

REMINISCENCE
Atop the green hill
Welcomed by glimmer of sea
Hugged by the warm breeze
Entertained by boats beyond
A time engraved in my heart.
Tranquility...silence...nature...nostalgia

Green Flower
Emerald flower
A beauty like no other
But you camouflaged
Doubted your sweet oddity
Seized by insecurity

The End (Tanka)
Lonely at the end.
Where will I go from this path?
Empty trees with shade
There is no beginning here.
We'll have only sad endings.
