Such precious gemstones
Morning dew shines like diamonds
God’s tears from heaven

Written on 18th February 2 days before my father died


Posted 22nd February 2015

soul-torn trees   forlorn
will never be    ever   green
too much rain    too   late

the heroes of war
with medals
lay on yonder field

A void of Facebook
Creativity dies here...
Procrastination!

twisters swirl

nest graveyards ‘neath fallen trees

birds mourn their unborn

The sea is unkempt
Unwary sailors regret
Thar mate has been swept

biting mountain air
baby lamb trails on the edge....
mint sauce with dinner





entry for Charles Henderson's strict Haiku 2 competition

the little wildflowers
of spring blanket my backyard
till the mower comes...

Sleeping in sorrow
If I don't wake tomorrow
Then all will be well.

He has gone away...
When I look for him I see...
Nothing but green grass.

Jobless, indebted -
battles with insanity 
- writes haiku shaiku

only foolish men
let their nation plummet, with
their eyes wide open

A wisp of white cloud
On a breeze, that cools the land
Autumn is soon here

reluctant leaves fall
from the old tree showering
an old man walking.

in - pie - ces
why must you be in fragments?
take me pl—

ease me in-
to the pangs of oppression
let me ROT

in fragments
i trust you'll be whole again
while I break  

words left unsaid
drift upon the east wind-
freeze in my heart

Single Flower, In Winter's Grip
 
 cold and frozen heart
 graveyard, abandoned tombstone
 life, fires, dead ashes

Haiku, ( Where Sorrows Meet Memories )

  Screams above the din

A moment of grief and loss

    A loved one passes

Beauty of nature
Why condense it down to God?
Isn’t life enough?

Black smoke covers all
children animals run
but they can't escape

    running  . . . denying

                                         I am weary -- where can I go

                                                                                         your love pursues me

In the sea of tears
A trawler full of fishes –
The pirates attack!

pale silken strands sway
tickling the warm breezy air
honey wheat wands dance

prosperity flows
nourishing life on the farm
drought came and all died

Haiku/Senryu

The earth is green now.
The flowers open early,
blooming but to die.

Omniscient guy
Yet he lets bad things happen
How can he exist?

Moonlight metaphor
The blind stars are his best friends
The great sea my  heart  

A momentary
lapse of attention results
in a sudden loss.

God made all people
But some better than others?
Stop being silly.

Nothing stays the same
remember yesterday
A quite love
cuts like a blade.

                                         Silver coated on den shelf
                                            Oil coated soon death

Is their life on Mars
Carlotto's image, the Sphinx
Was their life on Mars

Creativity
Our intentions bring again
To Mars, loss or gain

But then we must ask
Simply, what can mankind bring
Mars no longer sings



For Contest 'Subject Mars' written July 7th, 2015.

My hands were
Alone that
Patted my back 

A white day ends—
red clouds reflect
the setting sun

a startled sun -
scattered elephants on the plane;
their families grieve

A gentle wind asks
Answered, simply, why not still
Said family grieve
