round and round with no end
my friend 'til the end

Haiku: River Stones

cascading waters
break around the river stones
new destiny forged
 
Hot Cascades at Yellowstone National Park

Sea Snails Hide

Birds
Hopping
On hot sand
Sea snails peeking
Hide

Haiku: Sweet Dreams

twinkling lights
sing soft lullabies
sweet dreams




ancient stones guarding the night
keeping nightmares at bay

Haiku: Paradise Lost

through the mist
a new son rises
perplexed kings


Carpe Diem "Distillation" #3 Paradise Lost by John Milton

Clouds Near

Clouds
Swirling
Dark and Low
Thunder crashing
Near



eclipsed by a star
my moment forever lost

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

Readers' Note (Epistle Poem)



A note to my readers lies herein
Travel, moving, a wedding, and unpacking--
Such a busy summer it has been
My energy and inspiration has been lacking


A vacation on the calendar is nearing
So for the remainder of the month I'll rest
The creative juices recharging
To return renewed in September with new zest







dVerse Poetics — Sent With A Stamp

--I'll return to writing/posting on September 6th. I need to recharge and take some vacation photos for inspiration.

fly like an eagle
as free as a bird in the sky
be a dreamcatcher

a brand new world awaits you
red, white, and liberty blue

Wait for it-


Hop on up to the edge and commit;
It'd be a shame to quit.

Hey, step back a bit,
Wait for it-
Oh!


I promise hard ground you will not hit;
Just don't look down in the pit.

Hey, step back a bit,
Wait for it-
No!


It'll be over lickety split;
Adventure worth every bit.
Hey, step back a bit,

Wait for it-
Go!

Ducklings Swim

ducklings swim near the shaded banks
while otters play devious pranks
on mellifluous lake fae
evading the water spray
toads cheer from sinking lilies
for more games and sillies
as the sun scorches shaded flanks
ducklings swim away giving thanks

Open Heart Lune

open heart cradles
the entire world
rock gently



Going back to the La Lune for for dVerse and which kind of a variation on haiku for Carpe Diem.
