On the rainforest floor
Richly green and always moist
It is not life which is persistent
Must be tenacious
Bold
Resourceful

The red granite marble
The red granite marble
Rests in his bed of grasses and rock
In the gum tree’s shadow
Rests in his bed of grasses and rock
In the gum tree’s shadow
A marble that never rolled an inch
Nor was shot from a giant’s thumb
Nor tossed by demonic whim
Sitting here in the sun
Sturdy as the crystalline block
He once was on this very spot
Evening haiku balance
Day ends in balance
Blends violet and orange
Night falls; stars unveiled
Blends violet and orange
Night falls; stars unveiled
Create moments worth living
Good:
live in the moment.
live in the moment.
Better:
create moments worth living.
Opposable Thumb
Our love affair with our mind, which freed us.
But I remind you of this humble digit,
But I remind you of this humble digit,
Which put us on our feet,
So our grasp could reach higher,
Until at last I feel
Burn it off
Burn it away
Patinaed shell
This armour plate
Which walls me off
From light’s deceit
Reveal raw flesh
Beneath repose
So I must feel
The pain it knows
Burn it away
Patinaed shell
This armour plate
Which walls me off
From light’s deceit
Reveal raw flesh
Beneath repose
So I must feel
The pain it knows
Breathing Fire
If I could build a castle
Post sent’nels breathing fire
Would you wear glass slippers
And deign to call me sire?
Post sent’nels breathing fire
Would you wear glass slippers
And deign to call me sire?
If we could live a fairy tale
With spells, I would acquire
For you the gold that glitters
Our true love would inspire
Words come
Words come
Through sources unbidden
Through sources unbidden
Not intended
For me alone
I write them
Or not
Pix to Words
