6am and falling rain bed! how cosy you feel this morning wobbly legs misstep toddler tumbles to the floor screaming with fright lonesome nightingale serenades the airwaves searching for his soul mate mantis catches butterfly I
Shimmery wings spread Golden halo on her head She captures my heart her aura so dazzling bright she bestowed a peaceful smile
Tulips in the beds wave their beautiful petals the sun beams on them ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Roses glimmering jewels every one of them a perfect picture ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Star light cloaks the world each a twinkling delight a pro
Clouds breeze , wind strong lightning flashing down in forks rain flooding the plain
Cascading fields of waving green caress the quiet hills with nonchalance.
Moonlight I love you mysterious, alluring your light so inciting
Softly the rain falls coating the orchid in dew its buds glistening
Been awhile since I have done a Haiku hope I got it right???? Pic is my scene from back yard of sunset....
Rough currents take shape A stream defines its own path A fish swims with hope
in memory of lives lost
When the rain falls the sun shines even brighter when the storm says good-bye. Love with rough knuckles a crooked grin,a big heart spells out my father.
This poem is about me - letting go and getting peace after a divorce - no anger no hatred no blackmail just contentment and peace within. Although my ex wants absolutely nothing to do us (me and the kids) - we embraced the situation and moving forward - wishing him good luck with his future.
Remember the times together......Remember 1st Thessalonians 4:13-18 and may lifes best moments shared give you peace.......and may these few words of hope be a prayer of goodwill to every grieving soul.......empathy and sympathy from one soul to another....Amen
Asking for help is the last thing anyone of us ever wants to do.
Jack and Jill Went Up the Hill, I Don't know what they did, Suddenly Jill ran down shouting, i-pill, i-pill, i-pill...
Reflecting on some wild imagery of my younger days and crazy ways....
It was written for the love of my life, the man I wanted to share all, the good and the bad, he was taken away....
Once again I am confounded by constant ressurection of life from one life form recylced into another life form through cylces of death and darkness and life and light spinning and falling like a shooting star or a bug on fire.....whatever existed before will exist again.
Thought I would try a new format of poetry. Since they are short I posted several together
On the edge of time one step eternity calls home I shall be then
Morning light calling together our voices raised sweet heavenly sound
The blog asked who we admire the most, so I wrote this poem in code to show who I like on CS. I really like these three women, and this poem expresses the desire to get acquainted.
Inspired by how beautiful and fragrant what we call life when we desire to be attracive like a flower.

This is reflective of my really 'corny' mood tonight...
Twenty-four dark years rain down on Batman’s cave and bullets cloud summer. Pandemonium! Life’s delicate balance lost. Summer tears stream down. I am not surprised, says son's mother, reported. Summer reign shocks world.
This is about the loss of a dance partner. She was good for my heart.
This is a Haiku, one of mine, the only poetry that could motivate me in my school days .... Now, of course that i am a tad older and maybe wiser, i wonder was it anything to do with its length and the amount of syllables in relation to my attention span !! LOL !!
A Haiku poem: A Japanese lyric verse form having three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables, traditionally invoking an aspect of nature or the seasons.
long ago, playing drinnking games, someone declared the 'Hasselhoff Rule' where you finish everything you say with ...David Hasselhoff. I dont drink much (winning) and got to thinking....
about lost fullfillment..
i think about planes when i ejaculate. flying high my engine explodes
The beauty of nature...
Falling in love...
Definition of Senryu 1) A Japanese poem similar in structure to haiku, but more concerned with human nature, and is often humorous or satiric -- usually in three lines of seventeen kana. 2) A foreign adaptation of 1, usually written in three lines of 17 syllables or LESS. Again, unless you are Japanese, have been writing Japanese, or speak fluent Japanese, you will be writing definition #2. A good structure for beginning senryu poets is: setting subject and action (on two lines)
This poem is based on both old Japanese and Chinese philosophy, in which, is why I wrote this and because a couple months ago, the moon was looking misty. In this poem, is a hint on how to keep balance, stability, Vitality and love for others. For which cannot be seen, is what lies from within. The night i wrote this poem, I was feeling quite calm, peaceful, tranquil, and at peace with myself and GOD. Writing these types of poems is how I express both my feelings, and the old philosophy of China and Japan.
Chilly breeze blowing Colored leaves against blue sky Musky scent of Fall
IF YOU GO AND CLICK ON POST A COMMENT the whole tree shows up its awesome.. My little pear tree.. I was just mowing my grass.( 3 acres) I notices my little pear tree. its only 4 feet tall 4 inches at the base 2 lonely branches coming off the base and little twigs coming off that the the branches are like 2 inches around at the most.. I almost cut it down a few years back because i was sure it was dead.. I just didn't have the heart.. It is so loaded with pears at least 50 that is bent completely over touching the ground.. I have been so overwhelmed with my own grief and locked inside my depression I never noticed or I would have found a wedge for the 2 lonely branches.. Nature never ceases to amaze me.
I took Hannah to school today and watched the bus drivers release the children to start their day.. some children hopped and skipped in happy to be back.. while most slowly, sadly shuffled in.. 179 more days to go lol Hannah was one of the slow ones ...
my boots are ragged..
Words stuck in my mind refusing to be released being obstinate
graceful hummingbird flying forward and backward sipping sweet nectar
