Haikus
I care only know that I
Will always love you.
Gazing in wonder
I stood frozen in delight
As morning awoke.
Will love you always
deep inside my heart and
ever more in time.
Poets I greet your
comments warmly and read your
fine words happily.
Good Year Haiku
Golden harvest gathering
This year no hunger
Only One
Three ladies I admire the most,
For whom I would like to host
A party for the women three
To get acquainted, you see.
Three acres is all we need,
Airfare included for all three.
Into the night we shall speak
As aquaintance we will seek.
Morning light doth come too soon,
As light fades from the moon.
Breakfast smells soon awake,
As we discover what's at stake.
Homeward bound we soon go,
With thoughts aplenty not for show.
Lots to think about, one to choose
Only one will suit the muse.
Alphabetically, start names of three.
C and J and L makes just three.
Anyone would be just fine,
One of these to wine and dine.

Definition of Senryu1) 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.

Awoken
Earth all over will shatter
My heart awakens
Refreshing is love
Sweet as gentle summer rain
Now washes the world
Stand back unafraid
Greatness now is glorious
Love conquers evil
Visions of the future
Dance around inside my head
Wisemen once foretold
The Resurrection
The next coming attraction
Theaters near you
Beware and be warned
The moment is getting close
Closer than you think
