Can you tell I want to go fishing?

A Fisherman

Studying texts and stiff meditation can make you lose your Original Mind.
A solitary tune by a fisherman, though, can be an invaluable treasure.
Dusk rain on the river, the moon peeking in and out of the clouds;
Elegant beyond words, he chants his songs night after night.

A zen poem for you to ponder as you read your morning rounds. I am experiencing so coffee ground crappy beverage. Tamp that shit down. Don't let is go over the side. Don't make me dump the whole pot. Damn it man!

Spring Haiku

scattered showers blow
the first warm rain of the year
seagulls squawk over food

Spring Haiku

a warm morning breeze
a gaggle of gulls circle
a frost grip abates

Spring Haiku

cold rain and grey clouds
the robin searches for worms
a cold wind blows east

Spring Haiku

Scattered showers fall
Delmarvalous weather, yes
always about change
