Pain

#haiku

a pebble washed on shore
rounded by tides, sunbathes, dreams
of immovable might

— § —

scoring the paddock
daffodils blare xanthic fanfares
to passing bees

— § —

hidden in undergrowth
limbs a-quiver, a dormouse
follows the hawk's sweep

Daffodils design
A decorated sari
Soft spread on the bed

ancient forests
deeply anchored ... heart strings
in tones of cello

Equinox balance
Caress the wild within you
Always cedes valence

Don't be a naysayer,
neither be you negative
nor constantly find fault—
that's my job.

Connecting dots can be challenging
in our Jackson Pollack lives.

My old knapsack,
compadre of the track—
son never brought it back.

one final piece
completes the jigsaw puzzle—
where is it?

cry wolf? no good
your histrionics bore me
sharp teeth sink in

what insolent cheek
to mock my Parnassian
tours de tommyrot!

The grey squirrel scrabbled down the railings to prop up on its haunches, demanding it's daily peanut tithe. Sorry, bud, I'm out!

the squirrel's chitter
translated to plain English
would have scorched my ears

Changed channels
to watch boats drift
along a peaceful fjord.

the unguarded grape
no formal invitations
in the blue jays' realm
