in our scope of things
obstacles ahead loom large
in reality
objects in our path of life
are smaller than they appear

Calling Calliope
The eloquent Calliope,
Muse of epic poetry,
Who whispered words
While Homer wrote
The Iliad and Odyssey,
Inspired both
The fool and sage
To put the pen
Upon the page
But can her stirring
Words be heard
In our computer
Driven age?
(Reworked from 2/17)
haiku 40
divergent sunlight
is quite unparalleled in
nature’s illusions

epiphany
I dove into
the cosmic sea
and lost my own
identity
now I’m in it
and it’s in me
a merging
has begun
I glimpsed thru
this epiphany
a cosmic view
and now I see
that everybody
else is me
for all there is
is one
haiku 39
silver streams of thought
flow through the verdant contours
of a peaceful mind

right now
A shot out my back door right now.
Felt I had to share.
Mama and Bambi
So trusting.

six word stories — 5
I’m quitting drinking for good, again.
poor luna
luna lures in noble
golden-hearted sunbeams
with her ‘poor me’ act
and pallid complexion
and if they so much as
graze her ashen cheek
with a solitary kiss
she steals their gold
and sends them away
on silver moonbeams
wordless wed 7/25/18

haiku 38
on calm summer nights
the sea of tranquility
lives up to its name
