luminous
shadowy light
deep inner glow
filmy but subtly translucent
opalescent

loved to distraction
awful close to smothering
you cannot own them
too jealous is a sickness
room to breathe does much better
.
Poem:
.
act your age
I don’t know how
I’ve never been this age before
am I supposed to act like a bore
it is not an act, I think I am real
I know I am not a very big deal
I’m just glad to be little old me
a soul that is happy, joyous and free
getting old has not been fun
that and too many things left undone
will the circus ever come back to town
do you have to grow up if you are a clown
in the beginning the sun will rise
all of nature will look to the skies
when all is done the sun will set
each day a deadly game of roulette
today I’ll act the way I want to act
regardless of my age, and that is a fact

“Art is the only
serious thing
in the world.
And the artist is
the only person who
is never serious.”

Senryu: 5-7-5 ( Haiku with people and their emotions/feelings as a topic)
.
forever jealous
never content with his own
wanted others things
.
Poem:
.
disorder is the work of an evil spirit
ugly has no bounds or limit
souls that believe they have something to prove
statues and memorials they want to remove
destroying a government is anarchy
believing there is no need for a moral code, insanity
yet the majority are afraid of the minority
defund the police, let’s give evil the authority
the press divides when they take sides
a few wealthy trying to push the tides
there is no need to apologize
peace allows everyone to share the prize
let’s use that energy to make an improvement
let the teaching of history define our movement
let God be the definition of pure order
maybe tomorrow, within our border
