Lifted by a breeze
Dreams transform into clouds
Sparkling drops return
No air left to breathe
Flowing sky following you
Vacuum for me
Locked in the closet
The skeleton felt confined
Those dirty secrets
The night was dragging
Nightmares kept coming back
Rooster did not care

thunder and lightning rolled

Buffalo soldiers
Apache feathered spirits
war within a breath
Johnson and Nixon
Kissinger on my TV
smoke over Da Nang
Chinese raid Taiwan
UN emergency meet
calm before the storm

Bird Table ... Haiku
Icy lacy frost
blankets Holly bush and tree,
Graces berry feast.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Sky Art ... Haiku
Crimson wisps blood-stain
azure's fading sky to paint
dusk's art at sunset.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Tall Order ... Haiku
Legs all sprawled askew.
Yards of neck enmeshed in thorn.
Delicate giraffe.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Despair ... Senryu
Anguish, held too long.
Wracking sobs and flowing tears.
Eyes implore. Arms fall.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Today ... Senryu
Baby born today.
Text said: "Girl, black hair. All well!"
Niece for me to love.

I once knew you
Without a clue
You know I knew about the few
Those you hurt around and through the years
Just because they knew your foolish fears
You whom I once knew

Rook sits, forgotten
Bishop sweeps to capture queen
Knight seals trap. Checkmate.

Moon lit tide rolls in
Cresting beached sand, drifts back in place
To depth where it began

Field of daffodils
brazen yellow, sun kissed
petals, brightly greet
The dawn of the day
magically the sun rises
flooding with colour
Gently the stems quake
as caught by the breeze they shake
quiver in its wake
Matching yellow bird
soars over the display of beauty
adding its sweet notes
A vision of bliss
such a simple little thing
the joy of nature
