our minds are
built unique
with a sole
subjective view
you cannot see
reality
the same way
that i do
some say that
it’s a blessing
but some say
it’s a curse–
for every mind
designs a kind
of homespun
universe

tanka 2/21/21
i only knew of
warm days by the cool waters–
and then winter came
yet winter soon taught me that
happiness comes from within

dozing dream
i fell asleep
and flew above–
the moon was peace
the sun was love
and venus, light,
her eye wide ope
the earth was life
and mars was hope
and beyond mars
’twas so sublime
with twinkling stars
and wrinkling time,
at last i fell
back down to earth–
a dream to tell
for what it’s worth

haiku 100
a raven twists and
turns before the setting sun–
nature’s rorschach test

ash & woe
my wife
is in the closet
in an urn
for life
is no deposit,
no return
her soul,
in its divineness
had to go
and all
that’s left behind is
ash and woe
My loving wife and mother of three passed away unexpectedly
ten years ago, after thirty-five years together. The poem says
the rest. (I used B&W here, because that’s how I feel today.)

Last Prayer
The length of a man’s
Last prayer might not express
Its sincerity

great wizards (tanka)
witches tremble when
strangely colored mists roll in–
the great wizard nears!
witches know that spells do work,
but the great wizard knows why

Shot of the Day 1/31/21
The sun is really trying today, but a rare thermal inversion layer is keeping the colder air trapped near the ground. Just what we need.
