Cinquains Full Of Surprise

Surprise is the greatest gift which life can grant us

Boris Pasternak





                                
                                      surprise
                                  out of the blue
                            something unexpected
                     never in one's mad wildest dreams
                                     tongue tied

                                        it's true
                              these things happen
                      sometimes somewhere some place
                     follow your dreams believe in love
                                        it works
                          

I Scare Myself

i scare myself
the spirits make me anxious
thinking about you

Carpe Diem

For The Christian Genocide Occuring In Africa, The Middle East And Iraq

in our tears of grief
dear Lord we leave thee hearts cry
to thee in darkness

With Thanks

carpe diem

when they spat at me
you showed me love and respect
i wont forget you

Never Alone

3WW


bribery clobbering
being skeptical
none of it works

you're so lonely

no matter how many buffers
you surround yourself with
they will never buffer
you from yourself

you're so lonely

no matter how much love
is poured into you
it will never fill
your perforated vessel

you will always be lonely
and never alone

The Honey Eaters

poetry jam: poets united


i have finally escaped
the stormy weather
which has been dogging
the city for months

spring flicked the switch today
and the wattles dazzle yellow
against blue in the big outback sky





jeans and flannel shirts
stand still like soldiers armed
with clothes props
on the line stretched between the olive trees

i have been watching
the black chinned honey eater
gorging herself all afternoon
on the giant agave bloom
stopping only to sing a few notes
to me

Haiku Horizons

it's finally clear
he is stranded forever
with a corpse called carl






clearly not stupid
she has a phd in
piscatology
