spilling mother’s milk
Nature’s bounty feeds her child -
river’s youth fades fast

My feet are on solid ground,
for to the earth I am bound.
Though I hear river flowing
and see the full moon glowing -
a pie in star-studded sky -
I do not dream I may fly.
My feet are on solid ground.

the ink in my pen 
flows into a wild river—
abiding eddies

I am the river
not this bucket of water 
attached to a rope

sung buddhist prayers
released afloat spring rivers
    a skyward mist

Mythical gods believed diamonds come from  their tears.    


gems are forever
they are the tears of old gods  --
cry me a river

A Southern Memory

dusty, winding road
cotton crops glowing bright white
Mississippi mud

Haiku, (Time has flown)

verdant slopes sparkle
create a silver valley
river snakes gently

tiny wavelets sang
sonorous songs in delight -
dozing river woke

streaming from heaven
moonbeams stroll on the river …
gazing up at stars

poor poet such wealth
time to hit the road

One rock drops.
Many ripples
spread across the river.

black and white
vivid color, flamingo sky
eagles soar

Blossoms fall like snow

Where the silent river flows

...eternal moment

moon river glowing
reflection babbles along
incoherently

frozen river sleeps

man's desires go unbidden

winter turns her face

Eruption of ash,
Earth bleeds as the mountain vents:
A river of flames.

grizzly bear wakes up 
hibernation is over ~
heads for the river

Haiku or Senyru Poetry Contest

great blue heron stood
in flint river statuesque....
children hooped, threw rocks  

from an in-ground spring
to open arms the north sea…
joyous the river

Mossy river stones,
Alongside the forest banks:
Compose odes to trees.

a river mirror
what a calm so lovely sight! 
a silent poem

 red leaves adorn sweet
gum clinging precariously ....
river runs through roots  

lotus flowers ~
corsages of the river
a date with Summer

bear wading in the stream
     bear grabs a jumping salmon          
          bear feeds his hunger

wash the crevice flow 
mountains crumbles from grounds down
below river rains

Leaping fish spawning
leaf floats by waterfall
lyrical bird sings 


Waves crashing on beach
river maundering 
clouds puffy white sail by

     crack of winter ice
  hoofsteps halt hearing the warn
     river takes a breath

fog in the morning.
the noise made by the river
when I shut my eyes

clouds carry river
rains flood and destruct on earth
land deluged in pain

nascent sun glare
tree limbs laden with snow
trout run cold river

Through miles of hardship
The river reaches the sea
Lost Identity
