AUTUMN (Haiku)
leaves become well-draped
colorful coffins falling
to their final rest

MUD (haiku)
earth is a muddy-go-round
choking in its greed
controlled by a sea of sharks

Your Poems do implore
To seek the truth
Between the lines for more
Before I lose my youth
To seek the truth
I must justify
Before I lose my youth
If nothing but to clarify
I must justify
Your reason to rhyme
If nothing but to clarify
Why you took the time
Your reason to rhyme
Reads like a mirror to me
Why you took the time
To show what's hard to see
Reads like a mirror to me
Releasing pent up emotions
To show what's hard to see
Creating sad tears that fill oceans
Releasing pent up emotions
Between the lines for more
Creating happy tears that fill oceans
Your Poems do implore

QUALITY OF LIFE (haiku)
life should be measured
not by how deeply we breathe
but by what takes breath away

(Philip M. Banner)
(Oct. 1920 - Oct. 1997)
For me, you were always there
I really miss you
Can you still keep me in Prayer?
Everything is an issue
I really miss you
Help me with intervention
Everything is an issue
Guide me away from tension
Help me with intervention
I need to focus
Guide me away from tension
The world is like a circus
I need to focus
I need serenity now
The world is like a circus
Listen to my Prayers, somehow
I need serenity now
In the world within
Hear my Prayers, somehow
From where they begin
In the world within
Can you still keep me in Prayer?
From where they begin
For me, you are always there

ONE POET TO ANOTHER
Now I can write like you
And share everything, old and new
To a world that is starved
For feelings delicately carved
Between the lines
Are so much more
Not just rhymes
But reflections to adore
So, while in solitude
Reflect and look around
Give yourself some latitude
And lift your spirits off the ground
We are all reflecions
Of one another
There are no deceptions
Only new ways to eliminate, misconceptions

my greatest blessing from God
is my Son, Adam
he is oak, i am acorn
my love for him grows
with every waking moment

A MICROCOSMIC DREAM
I was climbing a mountain
One day with friends
Suddenly I noticed
An opening
Naturally
I had to investigate
So I checked my rope
That was tied to them
It was tight around my waist
And I felt sure that I could endure
Whatever was about to happen
Though I was feeling a little insecure
I led and my Brave friends, followed
Only strong friendship links, were between us
It was a long tunnel with an abyss below
There was a ledge to walk along
A light was at the end of the tunnel
There were many branches to hold onto
As we bravely walked on
Hiding our fears
When we reached the end
There was a bright light
I needed a different perspective
So, I asked to be swung to the other side
I landed on a ledge, grabbed a branch
And peeked out
I could not believe what I saw
Another world was out there
There was a giant woman out there
I had to look again
Then when I looked straight ahead
I was surprised to see where I was
My aura caused a tiny sparkle in her eye
And she was loeve that I was actually in her
Peeking out of her eye!
Talk about being a pupil
For the sake of learning!
And the best was yet to happen
When I looked at her face
I realized that she was me
A gigantic replica of me!
It was like the microcosmic
And Macrocosmic finally met
I felt like I was her very soul
Yet, I was afraid to shout or cry
Afraid to fall into the black hole
So I hung on a branch of nerves in her eye
I told my friends, that I saw a giant
a very beautiful woman
I thought it best
To wait to tell them the rest
I said, before I get wiped out, lets go back
And quickly swung to the other side
Carefully I followed my friends
Till we came back to the opening
After a sigh of relief
I began to laugh
As I told them who I saw, at the end of the path
My friends just looked at me in disbelief
If I had known, that I also lived within
I would have taken better care of myself
And, I also learned, from this dream
That, "Life is not all, what it may seam"
