Strange Brew

cleansing vortex breeze
strange brew extracting trauma
separating me from the past
leaving me whole
renewed in the canyon

.

Sights Unknown

the atoms of our dna
scattered across neverwhere
seeing what we believe we can’t
sending coded messages
back to the mothership

.

Winter Dream

snowed in by a fire
new england trees iced over
glistening icicles
growing old together
a winter dream

.

Bamboo Forest

Tanka Poets On Site
(bamboo forest)

deep within
the bamboo forest
giant pandas feast
while listening to
nymphs play flute

.

Simple Treasures

Tanka Poets On Site
(wealth, jewelry)

once obsessed with prestige
no signs of wealth adorn
my simple ring
when we go out
invisible love and joy my treasures

.

Love Shines

Tanka Poets On Site
(where love hides)

deep in my once shattered heart
lies a place of truth and beauty
that no man could touch
not for lack of trying
in that place my love for you shines

.

Violet

ianthine twilight
mutes newly snow covered earth
soft is the violet
