A Bag of Monkeys
Please note: (*) A "monkey" is racetrack/racing slang for $500= so obviously these are not "actual" monkeys - merely metaphorical ones. (**) Happy "Year of the Monkey" to all CS members.

The Sound Of Silence
Simon and Garfunkel's "The Sounds of Silence" was, and remains, my favourite song of all time. I spent many hours listening to it. Silence is the canvas on which all sounds are painted. I have tried to capture its essence with this haiku. I am not sure how others will respond to it but it is deeply personal to me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jqn9SKYAgY Some of their other great hits are shown on the same youtube page.

SHOOTING STAR
1/29/2019: Today is the 33rd Anniversary of the explosion of the spaceship Challenger! So much danger in exploring the stars. Therefore - dedicate this poem to both Challenger and Columbia. So sad! I wrote this in 2002 when the Spaceship Columbia shattered on re-entry to Earth. It was just before we went to war in the middle east. As usual, when I'm upset, I turn to my poems.
Shabbat Shalom..
Peace and blessings to all...

I was a school bus driver for 5 years. But this poem is not so much about my school bus kids as it is about me and the way I was in school. But I had a few kids that might pretty much fit this description. That's why I could relate to them so well. lol.
