than a beautiful spring day–

holographic me (tanka)
i am the cosmos;
like every piece of it,
i contain the whole–
my mind and the cosmos are
holographic in nature

you’re not what you eat
the diet of the bald eagle
shows that you’re not what you eat,
for he stands so composed–even regal–
while gobbling down decomposed meat.

walk for peace
now, i’m no monk
and yet i find
i walk for peace–
of a kind;
yes, every day
i am resigned
to walk for peace–
peace of mind.

nature lover
if you are a nature lover,
remember, as a human,
you are cutting-edge
stuff in nature–
so mysterious,
you border on
magical.
you.

And wit dis here wind, it is
Mighty refreshing!

tonight, the heavens shine
like sparkling grape wine
pouring down upon the earth
from vineyards divine

Limerick 88
A baby woodpecker named Brie
Would peck at the pines futilely–
It was hopeless until
She procured a small drill
From the carpenter ants in the tree.

Trump Agenda ’28
First send out ICE with urgency
For everyone’s “protection”,
And that will spur insurgency–
I’ll call it insurrection.
Then I’ll declare emergency
And cancel the election.
birdman
there’s a grosbeak in the pines,
and he asks me, “tee tee tew?”
so i answer, “i am fine,”
and inquire, “how are you?”
*
as a birdman, i will say
that he understands my words–
but they might put me away
for talking with the birds.
