Without

“Any healthy man

can go without food

for two days-

-but not without poetry.”

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

cheer

spectator sport

win or lose

represented by hometown heroes

fanatics

Haiku:

.

tufted titmouse flits

working hard building their nest

harbinger of spring

.

Poem:

.

sounds of happiness, spring provides the color
birds and bees reappear, a pallet for the artist watercolor
sounds and smells tickle the senses, allergies and more
natures tempo increases, far from the dreary winter we abhor

croaking frogs, water lily buds, the ponds icy bond released
trees sprout new nests, mom incubates, poppa provides a feast
the hibernators awaken, young to feed and teach
migrator following the sun, turtles eggs laid along the beach

gardens plowed anew, plantings ready, seeds to be sown
dreams of fresh veggies, satisfaction of producing your own
enjoying the longer days, feeling the cold leave the bones
flowers for the birds and bees, garden path paved with new stones

gratitude for Natures providence, will man ever find the key
the garden is happiness and contentment with which we all can agree
