I watch Climate news
hoping physics will change course,
since humans sure won't

each day as i wake
without formal agreement
I freely choose you

#haiku #senryu #poem #ShortPoem #SmallPoem #SmallPoems #love #relationship #relationships #choice

The blackflies descend
Skin flecks with red gems, blood beads
Baubles in the sun

Seize the day

From the clouds pour rain
To wet the ground again.
Summer nights a tropical blue
Welcomes a day which is new.
That shines a mane.

My neighbor tells me
my love for you defies sense.
Yet I'm still happy.

news of excess heat
after a long winter break
—from reports, that is

Afraid

Oh princess let down your wall,
That's height is so tall.
You push away,
And in dungeon you lay.
Fearing that all around should fall.

Your battlements armed by nightmare
That within you cannot bare.
You feel in a trap
The arms of isolation they begin to wrap.
Why dwell a life that you're afraid to share?

walk back from climate?
it's not like cartoon physics--
closing eyes won't help

#haiku #senryu #poem #ShortPoem #SmallPoem #SmallPoems #climate #ClimateDenial

We will be the second sun in Winter
And in Summer we'll be a shade under a tree
We will never stop
Moving through rains and winds

When it's dry I will be your water
And when it's hot you'll be an ice for me
Our love shall last for long,
For as long as stones remember

Obsessed

Upon me rests your hand.
That's as a vine upon tree.
Bewitched, I do not feel it coarse as sand.
Nor do I understand that which my fate be.

In a laid trap my legs are caught
Metal upon my ankles suffocate.
I'd like to say I fought
But I'm dumb prey and love is bait.
