Still battling with my demons,
But as of today — I’M WINNING!

Limerick 47
A young porcupine known as Jim
Is always going out on a limb
To become my good friend,
But I know, in the end,
That I’ll never get that close to him

SAD (Shadorma)
When the days
Are shorter in length,
The leaves have
Gone away,
And the sun has lost its strength,
Some folks lose their way

Sunrise Surprise
Sun dogs are strange beasts. Whether they look like a distant atomic explosion or Orion’s Belt on the horizon, they never fail to remind me of that old saying:
“There are three sides to every story:
my side, your side, and the truth.”

beauty & the beast (senryu)
bewitched by the sky,
we may overlook trouble
on the horizon

sunbeams in woodsmoke
provide a soft, glowing light
for my morning walk

Shot of the Day (12/5/22)
A curious capture, if one can make heads or tails of it.

winter serves
winter serves
to make the spring leaves
more luscious
to our eyes,
the babbling brook
more soothing
to our ears,
and the rebirth of life
more precious
to our souls

life beyond earth (tanka)
we needn’t wonder
if there’s life beyond our earth–
the answer’s right here
if a lone island has life,
then so do the distant shores

golden dream
i saw it in a dream:
a city made of gold
beside a mountain stream–
a wonder to behold!
but then there came a mist
that blurred its golden gleam,
yet i know it exists–
i saw it in a dream
