the garden

20 Thursday Feb 2014

the garden

the children run
so carelessly
through the garden-
my dismay tempered
with memory

summer breeze…

18 Tuesday Feb 2014

summer breeze...

early summer breeze
plays the sun
across the forest ferns-
everything so nice
I hardly know what to do

this quest…

17 Monday Feb 2014

this quest...

how old it becomes
but no denying
the appeal of this quest
for what is new
and turned out latest

valentines…

17 Monday Feb 2014

valentines...

after supporting
their divorce plans
I write them a Valentine;
suggest they reconsider
it all again

enigma…

17 Monday Feb 2014

enigma...

this complete enigma
of me wanting more solitude
then company in turn
on my terms
at just the right time

what to say…

17 Monday Feb 2014

what to say...

a few graves apart:
neighbors who had nothing to say
to each other

worries work…

13 Thursday Feb 2014

worries work...

much of my life spent
wanting others to like
what I like-
in my jacket pocket the stone
is worked with worries

sunrise…

11 Tuesday Feb 2014

sunrise...

bitter cold morning-
compressed with the trash
some of sunrise

any which way…

10 Monday Feb 2014

any which way...

asked to arrange
the flowers in a vase
I put them in any which way-
so glad there are some things
which can’t go wrong
