Waves Play

Waves

Crashing

As day breaks

Sound of summer

Play

Haiku: Napping Straw

staw bundles napping

beside the winding highway

yellow bus screams by

School bus on a country road

Cicadas Hum

standing tall

eerie buzzing drums

looking left

looking right

my lab won’t budge from the step

while cicadas hum

Undefined

Reciprocate yourself
to examine fractions
of your soul.

Reciprocate everything
to return home,
becoming whole again.

Reciprocate nothing at all
and you've become undefinable.

Nightingale's Angelic Voice

A crescent moon rises o’er, a

Nightingale singing fabled lore-

Gallant knights and wicked queens.

Every note calling to the stars that gleam-

Like a gold fleece stolen;

Ino’s boiling cauldron; and

Centaurs galloping the Milky Way.

Vivid dreams wonder astray

Out my bedroom window.

Inviting the night’s hero; to

Come play among the stars,

Enchanted by angelic voiced bars.

Haiku: Peach

little peach

in my sweet ice tea

cools the sun
