with my glasses off
kites are flames swooping through
lattice of branches
Month: April 2018
1879
tigers and dragons
their beribboned tails spiral
dance along the breeze
1878
towering steeple
kites wrapped around it
god with strings attached
1877βοΈ
coffee will have to wait
princess snoozing on my lap
how I sacrifice!
1876
labradoodle pups
playing hide-and-seek
behind the saplings
1875
driving by road kill
says a prayer for its next
manifestation
1874
walk in the garden
hedge of white roses
beneath a full moon
1873
a nest from last year
dead twigs hidden in
new emerald leaves
1872
this flickering world
a bonfire in the sun
β
1871
wife chants the sutra
smashes a spider
not skipping a beat
1870
gates of hell are closed
building more capacity
for next elections
1869
cherry petals spin
all around the driveway
I pretend to rake
1868
no wrinkles nor warts
on my shadow’s face
not bad for thirty
1867
sexuality
a storm thatβs drifting away
but still I can feel
1866π
go ask any cow
who are the zombies
terrorizing them
1865
sorting to discard
infatuations, lovers
spring cleaning my books
1864
branches congested
morning commute squirrels standstill
nut service delayed
1863
a new toy bucket
for the prince of sand castles
and incessant tides
1862
volumes and volumes
of scholarly discourses
about a haiku
1861
they frequent my roof
fattest crows in town
neighbors wonder why
