    One of the kids who I work with had to write Haikus in his English lesson. They were given pictures of nature to describe. Here are my two haikus:

    Clouds like embers loom
    Blinding discharge splits the night
    The drenched huts tremble




    Liquid crystal laps
    Shadow of serrated fronds
    Lone palm greets the sea

    Tiny poems
    Teeny tweeny poems
    Let's give them another name
    Another literary flavor
    and from today call them
    Lilliputian ditties!

    a musing


    my world has
    become up-
    side down...
    can you see
    my frown ?

    who am I but a stitch in time
    what if I were to bare my soul
    would you see me origami

    Eternal Life


    The world would have you blindly believe
    the cup is half full, or half empty

    The Holy Spirit has taught me thus -
    my cup runneth over through Christ

    The shorter the poem
    the most well read it is
    It's like a swirling toy
    wound to instantly whiz.

    Leaves

    A blonde was raking the leaves
    and fell off the tree.

    between the past
    and the future
    there is small
    moment called
    the present
    it deserves a crescent
    to remember it
    is pleasant
    it may never try
    but when it does it sigh
    it is just that
    good
    it fly

    Time lives on
    Past,Present, Future
    Are nothing but
    figments of our own imagination
    I was there a hundred years ago
    I am still there after a hundered years
    I am not past nor future
    I don't know when the Present came
    Or is it still due to come
    Or is it traveling with me now.

    Letting the Present Moment Be

    Present moment, I’ll sit still
    And let you have of me your fill.

    ^ Good one YesNo!

    sunrise, sunset
    sunrise, sunset
    like comfort
    in the assurance
    of repetition
