alice
alive
thriving beyond
the rush of five
Olive limbed
and stubborn
the oyster world
gatherers to
govern

this wind
that speaks
translated
vibes
on wooden
wheels
she turns
the sky

Often I stop
to ponder
why
the rhyme
and treason
of a fallen
season

but I liked her
walk
that rabbit hole
jive
shes grown
up and bitter
now the
clever hitter
wearing her wolves
drawing ships
to the shoals

We love you granpa

YOU are that kindly light
that leads the whole world tonight
to another Christmas delight
may be brighter than bright
as it surges from your heart's warmth
'tis a passion for all to know
Granpa
you GLOW
We all love to HUG YOU
all must know
MERRY XMAS ALL
Still no SNOW fall

Voices of poets
Come blend your poetic voice
Japanese poetry.

Write haiku, senyru, tanka
Create whimsical renga.

Creepy creature surreptitious

Creepy creature surreptitious
sneaking into places delicious
you own my legs and now my arms
and I feel you in my lungs.
soon you will feast on my brain
since you’ve broken your chain
you are free to roam
and you just won’t leave
me alone
but I salute you.
you’ve won.
Well done, you bastard
dearest.

In a bliss of restful solitude
on this most blessed day,
my mind goes back in time
to how we celebrated our ways

I remember the laughter and love
that flowed around the room,
the excitement and joy we felt
before you were taken too soon

All the children of our family
were close like cousins should be,
but with your passing we drifted
along the winds, we split, in three

For a few years we attempted
to relive the days gone past,
as time passed people vanished
and it was never going to last

Secretly
I lay
A pink Hibiscus
In my lovers bath
My heart races
With delightful
Anticipation

BEYOND ALL UNDERSTANDING

It is beyond all understanding
how we endure our humanity.
why Man suffers his existence
and perseveres beyond human
limitations.
Today I felt another death of self,
one more betrayal of the flesh’
a giant step closer to the end time.
and my soul shuddered at
the terror of its own immortality.
how do we go on
paralyzed by doubts and fear…

the flicker of the light
its cold outside
you've lost one mitten
the beam has enraptured
U
warming
in the heat
the boiler tank
the full tub
your lank
limp pallid skin
like old winter dawn
full of its freckles
and impressions
Our hot chocolate
and happy crowds

the black floor heaped
with us
Like the onces
like the ounces
the brushing
the bursting
in
of passings

Neftlix, Hulu, autumn elaeagnus
thorns, small hairy buds, twigs hyper-lenticelled
fruits supposedly edible, leaves elongated, oblong
xerophytic but found in wetland
introduced species, some say invasive

Xbox is invasive
Hulu is the best source of foreign films
and foreign films represent reality better than American
although reality is not always what we're after
silliness, silly sadness, and relentless laughter
