POEM: Picturesque City
contrail-crossed cool blue skies-
contrails catching hints of some pink-orange hue
amber sunlight sails in sideways,
so all surfaces either glow warmth,
or hunch in dank shadow
no foul winds blow through the cold air and cleansing rays, so the city is psychically scrubbed
bold buildings and muscular mansions age with a grace rarely seen in our kind, but known in the weathered silver-hairs who draw envious glances to their last breath
even the haunting neo-Gothic rooftops and grotesque gargoyles only pull the city from sweet to charming

HAIKU OF BREATH
at the seashore
breath syncs to lapping waves
sea teachings
in between
the inhale and exhale
lies stillness
a breath missed
life takes a moment’s pause
mind is void
slow the breath
drawing each instant out
slow your world
breath control
lets one drop the sails
in rough seas

WINTER FOREST HAIKU
no birds, nor boar
not even a squirrel,
yet poop abounds
quiet forest
bare trees and thick carpet
decay time
mushrooms grow
in dense clusters on stumps
ringed in moss
earthen hues
far as an eye can see
but for moss green
so short the day
slantwise sunshine from
dawn to dusk
