Tranquillity
Poetic prose (wrote this in 1968 in Winnipeg, Canada)
The Secret Glade
Within a forest in a glade, Is Nature's finest green brocade, It's nestled by a secret stream, Inside the mirror of a dream. If I should pause, to change direction, Go to that place of soft reflection, To sit beneath a sylvan bower, Some dap

can happen; what has to go, has to come out

Haiku v Senryu
The subtle difference between Haiku & Senryu.
Polar Bear
You may see him standing, In the white glare of the Sunlight, On wind-blasted panes of ice;- A Winters' Sea compressed, To float across the salty emptyness. Now the Bear stands as a symbol;- As solar light returns to white;- Above a lat

My Alpine Meadow
Sometimes we need to feel a connection to a sense of place and time.
Nothing Gold Can Stay
Nature’s first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf’s a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay.
In Awe
Written with a friend in mind and also from personal memories of my own
A Beautiful Day
One breezy day suddenly this simple idea came in my mind about the day. I had some sort of tranquil and ecstatic feeling at that time.

Mother Nature can be a cruel thing at times, especially in paradise.

Just Imagine How The Story Goes?!
Concluded writing this song 7-3 2023. This is another abstract - but is it? I had another name or two for this that I liked better in mind, yet allow me to ask you what title would be best, and perhaps why? lol Until then

Beauty and Truth
"Beauty is truth, truth beauty,"- that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.tw -John Keats (Ode on a Grecian Urn) (I wrote this piece in my mid-twenties)
In the dead night of day
I was gullible then later I was... ripped off,stuck,floored,nailed,defamed,ridiculed and more. People suck.

The purple petals darken in the gloaming;- In their flowered elegance, belles' dresses, Fall in a slowly darkling Summer night;- To the fecund loamy softness of the earth; Where the purpleness dissolves into the air;- And creatures stir. Sof
When Nothingness Matters
This sonnet is written as a sublime portals of slightly warmer runoff water enters a slowly swollen stream just beginning to rise with the coming of the first warm rains of spring over a land still frozen in winter time.

INNER PEACE LONGED.
A few years ago I woke surrounded by a harbour, not living at the side. I had 4 Great Danes and 2 New Foundlands, and sat on comfy couch amongst my dogs.

Rainy Night
The rain falls gently on the rooftops, A soft patter that never stops, In the darkness of the night, The raindrops shimmer in the light. The world is hushed, the streets are still, As the rain continues its gentle trill, The leaves rustle in
