“Any healthy man
can go without food
for two days-
-but not without poetry.”
.
~ Baudelaire

hope
wish for
generate good karma
for only what’s needed
faith
.
Haiku:
.
fall waits quietly
warm earth helps summer linger
daylight becomes less
.
Poem:
.
wafting aromas Saturdays baking
taste of heaven in the making
natures best mixed with love
taught by angels from above
apple, peach, cherry pie
the best molasses makes shoofly
scones, eclairs, turnovers and strudels
oh me, oh my, I could eat oodles
remembering things that were home made
just down the street by the crazy old maid
sitting, cooling on the open window sill
shes watching us with looks that could kill
one for each, she would finally say
happiness to savor for the rest of the day

“I do not understand
the whole thrilling verse,
but I love the way poetry
turns ordinary words
into winged things
that rise up and soar!”

– Margarita Engle

dare
to fly
to be you
rise up and soar
individual
.
Haiku:
.
birds rise up and soar
escaping the predator
survival defense
.
Poem:
.
who doesn’t like the challenge
the imbecile, the retarded
the emotional with too much baggage
the coward with feelings guarded
those from the gene pool discarded . . .
dare to be a man among men
strong enough to take out the garbage
willing to be wrong every now and then
be willing to define your role
know that it is OK to share a feeling
understand that God gave you a soul
emotions are not for concealing
who gains from acting macho
double dealing with someones heart
a ghost who is sordid and hollow
an ego that is far from smart
be the man who makes your mother proud
a loving person who can care and share
stand head and shoulders above the crowd
a man of faith, a wish and a prayer
have a goal to make this world a better place
be willing to accept all of God’s grace.
