“The fear of poetry
is an indication
that we are
cut off from
our own reality.”
.
― Muriel Rukeyser
.
Elfje:
.
fear
unknown future
feelings of angst
things you cannot control
reality
.
Haiku:
.
morning frost and fog
year end season transition
winter comes to call
.
Poem:
.
all decked out in a Santa outfit
waiting for the children on my lap to sit
trying to catch the magical holiday spirit
to the myth, the legend, I am an adherent
please dear God don’t let the babies cry
doesn’t the whole world know I’m not a bad guy
potty stop visitors, my knee is not for peeing
joy everyone, even if it is just for the time being
must I be politically correct
can I allow my motives to be circumspect
can I suggest the reason for the season
will the thought police hang me for treason
Ho Ho Ho … the Holy spirit has caught me
I accept this world as God wants it to be
do what you must to take care of your business
but we can never forget the meaning of Christmas

art
song, dance
whats your choice
hearts beating with joy
pleasure
.
Haiku:
.
spirit of all things
ethereal nature moves
the sound of silence
.
Poem:
.
she shouted from the other room
something about a flower in bloom
I turned on my selective hearing
my thoughts turned to disappearing
her insistence sounded like a request
or maybe a very small order at best
obviously my turn, should I answer
I felt I was being treated like a gandy dancer
another yelp and the tone became stern
just go on, do it, her affections to earn
I go before the queen, who gave me audience
years and tears have given me sapience
a man should know that a happy wife
gives him a very happy life . . .
