Someday, Someway, Somehow, Someone

Someday I will Find the Love Of My Dreams
Someway I Know it will Find Me
Somehow We will Sew up the Seams
Someone will find out My Demean and let it be

Someday I will Feel So Contenting
Someway She will Experience My Life
Somehow the Pleasures will be Consenting
Someone Calm, and without Strife

Someday To Snuggle together
Someway Two can work thing out
Somehow playing Cheerful with a feather
Someone Will Figure out how

Someday My Higher Power will Here My Theme
Someway I am Patient enough to wait
Somehow Coffee in Bed with Sugar and Cream
Someone,Someday, Somewhere, Somehow, Will have that Faith

Maybe Me!

About this poem:
I have done a little poetry
Been a long time
No need for Faulting
Just like it to rhyme

I have done a few Poems, if anyone has the desire to Look!
But Admire Someone who likes to Cook!

Certainty Haiku

Love in certainty
When nothing else has value
So great not to trade

The Major Star (haibun)

The major star who was hundreds of centuries old
was finally dying yet not in vain, for with its death
comes new life and new planets formed as it splinters

Water so cool and clear
life giving to all our worlds
stars birth formed you

As a star dies the gases ignite and fuse into droplets
these then are carried to other worlds to start new life
Scientists believe that all life came from these deaths

Moonshine beams dancing
causing flickering shadows
that dance joyously

Our own moon and all the sun's orbiting planets were
formed in one of these explosions. All we see and touch
came from a dying major star

Sunbeams hit the water
refracting and enhancing
the crystal river

Sometime in the future our own major star the Sun will
die leaving life as we know it gone yet as prophets
have said death is the start of rebirth so lets enjoy our stars

Stars hide their faces
behind the fluffy white cloud
just an odd twinkle

touch

I close my eyes and
feel your fingers on my skin
caressing my heart.

The Sound Of Silence

the ultimate sound
permeating all others
the sound of silence

About this poem:
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.

Soul pain

Eagle spirits fall to the ground
Dream wings cannot fly
Dark talons pierce the soul
The heart languishes in hells nest
A shrill cry of despair echo's
through life's canyon..
'Oh, how the mighty have fallen..!'

Clouds (A Tanka)

fleecy grey white clouds
like giant grains of popcorn
edged with wisps of mist
in a clear azure blue sky
glowing in brilliant sunshine

About this poem:
When selecting a poetry style, some of you may have noticed "Tanka" listed alongside "Haiku/Senryu/".
A Tanka is another short form of Japanese poem, consisting of five lines.
The first and the third lines contain 5 syllables, and the others, 7 syllables.
The full layout is:
Line one(1) - 5 syllables
Line two(2) - 7 syllables
Line three(3) - 5 syllables
Line four(4) - 7 syllables
Line five(5) - 7 syllables

It allows you more words than the traditional haiku in which to express your poem.
Some of you may want to try it.

Fabulous Fall (haiku)

Chilly breeze blowing
Colored leaves against blue sky
Musky scent of Fall
