3 Haiku


over morning coffee
discussing who heard
a mouse’s footsteps


stress relief
a child finger painting
the sun


ever-changing
the paths that lead us to
the madhouse



Contemporary Tanka


young girl at dinner belle
crawling through milkman's dreams
dainty spider legs
trudging across greasy floors
her crisp smile & our bacon 

 

Contemporary Tanka

morning begins
writing words that’ll disappear…
my lost notebook
like distant thunder taunting
small children with sidewalk chalk

  1. The effort to achieve the seemingly effortless takes a prismatic brain and volcanic heart. Full of wonder these are.
