“One breath
taken completely;
one poem,
fully written,
fully read –
in such a moment,
anything can happen.”
.
~ Jane Hirshfield

Elfje: (Cinquain)
.
totally
belly laugh
filled with pleasure
life lived in happiness
awesome
.
Haiku:
.
the crack of the bat
boys of summer playing games
family together
.
Poem:
.
in the blink of an eye
lightning split the sky
the thunder however
rolled on and on forever
the smell of ozone lingered
another flash answered
rain drops began their pitter patter
to the ducks it doesn’t really matter
like clockwork the afternoon showers arrive
grass, flowers, weeds, growing in overdrive
the deluge over, the humidity swells
pleasant gardens adorned with cockleshells
did mankind really evolve
another question we may never solve
so many questions, so few answers
are we creating our own cancers
let it rain, let it shine
just stand in awe of the worlds design

To see myself,
to set the
darkness echoing.”

Elfje: (Cinquain)
.
green
cows chewing
farmer forever mowing
eventually it becomes milk
grass
.
Haiku:
.
smell freshly mown grass
see the storm clouds gathering
hear the summer buzz
.
Poem:
.
the boys of summer play their game
aspirations of reaching the hall of fame
the girls they have a league of their own
amazing how fast the pitches are thrown
fanatics root for the home team side
win or lose they show their pride
peanuts and crackerjacks at exorbitant prices
tasteless pizza served by the slices
fresh air and sunshine a good excuse
the scorecard as a remembrance to use
win or lose it was good family face time
remember the heroes when in their prime
whose the best ? ? ?
harmless discussions to become embroiled
definitely better than “a good walk spoiled*”
.
*Thanks to Mark Twain for his definition of golf.
