“Loneliness is
the poverty of self;
solitude is
the richness of self.”

change
move on
do it twice
try to or else
switch

Haiku: (5-7-5, nature and seasons the topic)

springs chilly drizzle
sky covered by low gray clouds
first robin appears

Poem:
.
quarter of a century in recovery
every day a new day of discovery
learning to accept all of life’s changes
enjoying the chance to be outrageous
I pray every day to walk the walk
sad are those who just talk the talk
it is easy to accept when God is in control
body, mind and soul He makes us whole
sobriety promises us many things
a chance to unravel the heart strings
a new freedom from past regrets
friends who we can count as assets
an attitude that includes no fears
a desire to be of help to our peers
happy, happy, happy for others
a choice to be part of a band of brothers
knowledge of feelings that keeps expanding
finding a God of our understanding
a kindness we are glad to repay
living this life no other way

“Since when,” he asked,
“Are the first line and
last line of any poem
Where the poem begins
and ends?”

starts
when, where
at the beginning
does it ever end
again

Haiku:
.
rain, rain, too much rain
nature doesn’t know balance
next season is drought

Poem:

If I could be a poem
What would I want to say???
I am me, I wish to be
I am life, I am death
I am the words that pray.
The poem can do anything
the poem is the flight of fancy
Blank verse, free verse
I am what I fantasize
I am the words that show the way.
The poem sings, the poem dances,
the poem gives one many chances,
to be me, to hope to be
I am living, I will be dying
I am the words that stay.
ME and the Boss
