   a gentle breeze
   tinkling wind chimes
   her voice

   reflected
   within her eyes
   the sky

   sunlight gleams 
   upon the stream 
   her flowing hair

   rose petals
   blushing
   cheeks and lips

   slithering
   down her neck
   peach juice and kisses

POTD ~ 5th December 2016

      january cold
pure white snowflakes are falling-
            write winter poems

      february ice
hangs from the bare tree branches-
            walks in still nature

      march is a lion
harsh cold winds and ice warnings-
             planning my garden

      april and melting
rivers of snow on the street-
            dreaming of sweet spring

      may is a whisper
gentle breezes caress hair-
            I buy daffodils

      june and loud thunder
nature is washing my world-
             touch buds in garden

      july and the sun
my world is full of color-
            write flower verses

      august is lazy
oh the flowers are fading-
            I pen of decay

      september and rain
that is dripping from green leaves-
            walks in the deep woods

      october falling
descending orange beauty-
            poems of autumn

      november chills come
cold crisp winds and blowing storms-
            thinking of summer

      december stillness
waiting for snow to show up-
            I write christmas words

I had never written a haiku before joining poetry soup in February 2014I love the traditional format of 5, 7, 5 syllables and the fact so few words can create such wonderful images in your mind.

                            Old year, faints away

                       New, dawns on the horizon,

                                Destiny dances!*

 a shepherd
 woke his wife

 I saw...heard
 angels sing
 in the sky!

 it’s the wine
 she mumbled
 or UFOs!

A bare tree stands
with roots on both ends
in December days

old river flows hushed
blood and tears, silent weeping  
children are slaughtered

Woven miracle of twigs;
The spilled egg cracks.

We are prisoners here
Minding our business;
Mental cells confine

Passageway to nowhere;
Meet you there

Pleasure is nice
In simple finds;
Beauty shows

Winding worker procession;
Purposeful ventures

Stormy rain hurling;
Sleep comes quick

Am I here to stay



Destiny beyond, 
Far from any perception,
Bodily or soul ?






Haiku- 5/7/5
Written December 18th, 2014

Entered in three line contest by Debbie

Nature speaks
Misty rain and thunder;
Elemental waves

~~~~~~~~~


Stormy weather
Freezing damp;
Igloo moments

~~~~~~~~~


Stranded here
No umbrella cover;
Long track home

~~~~~~~~~


Overcrowded shelter
Corridor passage chaos;
Torrential rain

~~~~~~~~~


Makeshift parasol
Box carton head dress;
Soaking wet

~~~~~~~~~


Bamboo pines exposed
Scenes from Oriental painting;
Rain invigorates

~~~~~~~~~~


A touching craft
Miniature book hand made;
Profound cuteness

~~~~~~~~~


Spring cleaning
Christmas cuckoo coming;
Alleluia blessings

~~~~~~~~~


Once again we hear
Old familiar carols sing;
Peace to all mankind

~~~~~~~~~

visitors arrive
during Chicago’s snow storm—
warm fire inside

the Florida-boy 
wearing short sleeves and jeans—
snow angels

mother and father 
shouting, “Wear your jacket”—
pneumonia

ice on the front steps
beneath foot long icicles—
handrails

the oldest son
cooking jambalaya—
guests inhale deeply

the step-mother
staring outside from upstairs—
snow drifts

children and sleigh bells
laughing as they speed down hill—
sudden stop

The New Orleans Saints
playing on her wedding day—
Cajuns watch

the wedding party
lining up for their entrance—
the Saints won

Seasons come and go.

trees outside
heavily laden with ice—
night rain continues

a plump woman
shivering, teeth chattering—
near the fireplace

the door opens
and gusts of cold air burst in—
the nursing home

my grandmother
lying in bed starving—
no food allowed

I watch helplessly
while her bony hands squeezed mine—
ninety-eight years old

after nine days
I hear Grandma’s last gurgle—
crying and one kiss

Arctic avians
screech zenith zero zephyrs...
dank December bones

How she devours fare
And still look fairly pretty
Is beyond me.

Her exotic eyes, 
Like clear December skies, 
Can melt hearts of ice.

snow and more snow falls 
cold wind and more cold wind blows 
all branches are bare 

starving and weak birds 
a chill grips before sunrise 
fall from bare branches 

warm afternoon wind 
thin morning ice melts on pond 
a song bird is heard 

poppies hide in grass 
drink from early morning showers 
bees drink from open buds 

warm ruffles new weeds 
clover covers budding ground 
crickets find their song 

hawk hunts small rabbit 
green hedges give good cover 
blood drips on clover 

sun waves off dark soil 
flowers grow only in shade 
bees hive drips sweet wax 

in shade cow chews cud 
waits for dark to find water 
sleeps on top of mound 

east winds pull cool rain 
quinces bright hill flowers thirst 
streams roar then fall quite 

squirrel hides acorn 
digs hole at foot of oak tree 
barks at gray wet sky 

leaf fall from elm tree 
vacant bird nest are exposed 
geese sound over head 

deer move over trail 
fawns loose baby spots and jump 
graze on holly leafs  

she talks to herself 
while people watch and laugh –
mental illness

Magnificent food spread;

Hungry expectations;

Ushers restive sighs;
Wine and good music

Misty rain dance
Children exploring wetness;
Laughter echoes

clop clop hooves on stone
stomping rhythm moves and jerks 
smooth step spirit stride

                                             pigs out on  three sandwiches
                                                 cheese new crescent full
