HAIKU

Unity; balance; Waves of heat ripple,

the harmony of long nights uncoiling like a dragon

with chirping insects under summer sun

Lonely dragon sits, Hold your pen steady,

ringed by cold steel artifice, then let it flow forth freely,

in our modern world capturing your dreams

Undulating sighs Poetry is an

gasp from many tiny mouthes; expression of life and light,

the petals unfurl eternal in ink

Waving fields of green; Spired white steeples

a million tiny banners on a rippling field azure;

saluting the stars the drifting sailboats

The roaring, pounding The gray tides sweep in

endless crash of endless seas, revealing treasures time-lost

echoing in time and long-buried bones

Frozen trees, moonlight Relics of a time

silhouettes them; skeletons priceless and unique descend

in silv'ry splendor to the depths like dross

Embers of winter Golden rays of sun

lie burning in the brightness illumine the Forest Things

under midnight moon through the leafy boughs

Pallid ghostly moon Nightweavers spin death

grants a luminous magic silver silken stands hung 'neath

to the powdered snow a harvester's moon

The wind just whispers, The morning mists shroud

as if afraid to reveal the floating lotus flower

where it's been today on the tranquil pond

Daily miracles I hold forever

assault our cynical eyes within these unfeeling hands,

striving to impress ignorant of Fate
