Wisdom of Humanity

.

“…the collective

wisdom of humanity

[is] enshrined

in its poetry.”

jump

spin around

À la quatrième

do the boogie woogie

dance

Haiku:

.

clearing winter’s mess

careful to save the new growth

spring is but a dream

.

Poem:

.

where is the fine line of sanity
or is insane not a place at all
not me, invisibly cloaked in vanity
delusions acerbated by alcohol

did I drink too much and became crazy
or was I crazy and I drank too much
could have done different but was too lazy
should have but I really needed a crutch

would have but I ignored my mother
make amends, clear the wreckage
learn to rely upon a Higher Power
be prepared to carry the recovery message

a simple program for complicated people
how we were restored to sane thinking

Invisible

.

“The poet is

the priest

of the

invisible.”

.

— Wallace Stevens

Elfje:      (Cinquain)

.

twilight

in camouflage

concealed in color

birds chirp evening psalms

invisible

.

Haiku:

.

blizzard of brightness

an invisible world

a winter white out

.

Poem:

love lost, love gained
the backbone of music and verse
life’s tribulations to be explained

emotions usually hid in a closet
songs vicariously used to emote
seeking a ride on a fantasy rocket

love yourself, love others
some preach unconditional love
the best love comes from Mothers

when one is feeling down and small
it is best to remember
God loves us all
