A rowdy ride

So many flashbacks
One more year took a spin
To start new again

Hop on the last train
En route to new adventures
Take a rowdy ride!

Sweet Release

Cadenced footsteps quicken
A jangle of keys
Now freedom and release.

About this poem:
Senryu
(A short Japanese style poem, similar to haiku in structure, however, senryu tend to be about human foibles while haiku tend to be about nature, and senryu are often cynical or darkly humorous and satiric while haiku are serious)

Pear Tree Haiku for fjames Picture Uploaded

Embedded image from another site


Small spindly pear tree
overwhelmed with lovely fruit
strong enough to bend

About this poem:
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.

Spring Mix

Worn habits to break
Elevate through sweats and ache
Spring arrived to awake


A drop of sunshine
Is brewing in bubbling brine
Dandelion wine


A school of sardines
Swam in sync into a tin
Sardines of my dreams

Total Eclipse

Red-moon alignment’s
ruby rays trickle, tracing
winter’s illusion.

The Kiss (5-7-5 Challenge)

My soul lost to time

My breath slowly evades me

Your lips touching mine

Awoken

Towers will fall down
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

"An Autumn Moment in Spring" (Tanka)

A leaf has fallen,
Against it's wishes today,
Removed by ill wind,
From a place it graced on high,
My eyes sad to see it down.
