“How weightless
words are
when nothing
will do.”
.
~ Philip Levine, Breath

Elfje: (Cinquain)
.
sorry
my mistake
doesn’t cut it
learn to make amends
repentant
.
Haiku: (7-5-7 VARIATION)
.
tropical storms wreak havoc
too much water floods
man builds in the low area
.
Poem:
.
words fail too many romantics
they worry too much about semantics
forget the talk, don’t tell me
let your actions and heart be free
show me that it’s not all about you
love is not about what you think is due
a two way street is an agreeable compromise
love is never about the value of the prize
love is a feeling that transcends thinking
mutual consent where everyone is winning
above race, beyond religion, unconditional
love and marriage are something traditional
love, forget the words, they are not needed
love is when the heart has truly conceded

“Logic,
when applied
to people,
fails miserably!”
.
― Joseph J. Breunig 3rd

Elfje:
.
theories
scientific law
instinctive human nature
cedes to female perrogative
illogical
.
Haiku:
.
morning dew collects
snail trails across the sidewalk
frosty breath says fall
.
.
Poem:
.
Seeking to inspire
Striving to be the best
Fulfilling the soul’s desire
Living life with zest
When you have the gratitude
Accepting of God’s grace
Life is just an attitude
Best done with a straight face
However, today, you can smile
It never hurts once in awhile.
