“Youth is happy
because it has the
capacity to see beauty.
Anyone who keeps the
ability to see beauty
never grows old.”

Elfje: (Cinquain)
.
beauty
not ugly
the heart sings
eye of the beholder
splendor

Haiku:
.
hot summer hangs on
crops not harvested soon die
leaves begin to turn

Poem:
When you’re dead you’re dead.
.
the seed, from whence it all began
the Great Provider supplied the plan
which came first the chicken or the egg
can you ever be too proud to beg
what is the real meaning of life
is it true that we create our own strife
do the souls of dead bodies need a place to go
is everyone in heaven named jane doe or joe blow
the philosophers don’t know the answers
logic moving about like the tap dancers
when they don’t even know if the question is right
putting the mind into a knot that is pulled real tight
humans are hell bent on self destruction
blindly following religious instruction
who knows, who cares, let the mind wander
if you have a life there is no need to ponder
enjoy the moment, this too shall pass
the destination is the same, tourist or first class
