Summer Haiku

rabbits eat clover
tomatoes grow rapidly
hummingbirds fly past

Spring Haiku

bright sun splashes us
hummingbirds buzz by our heads
evening breeze kisses

Spring Haiku

early tomatos
small hard green orbs on the vine
summertime will come

Poems from the commons.

Little

surprises happen constantly,
the best unannounced.
small wisps, brushing you as
they pass,
gently surprising
occasionally sometimes
sparingly, small
wonders the little ones.

Poems from the commons.

Comfort

The arms create the harbor,
a resting place from the torrid
storms that anger the waves.
Waves that beat blissfully
on the small frail vessels.
The weather in the harbor?
It changes the same-
but the waves move along...
obscure in their size.

Spring Haiku

haze permeates all
sticking, clinging, and all hot
Where art thou spring gone?

Political Haiku

Obama o-eight
landslide victory for change
No Bush No Clinton

Spring Haiku

peppers and 'maters
green and growin in backyard
basil tickles nose

Spring Haiku

wet air hangs adrift
humidity returns, yes
natures sauna lives

Poems from the commons.

I have been writing poems on and off for over 15 years now. I have always like to write and once I got into the arts of efficiency, poems seemed a natural avenue to explore. So after years of scribbling words in notebooks, I have decided to go digital. I used to fancy the idea of publishing a book, but that just seems lame for some reason. Plus no one wants to publish that shit anyway. Trust me I know. After getting through university, I can handle the criticism, so let it flow. In truth, most of these are not polished works. They are first runs and unedited. So lets crank this party and get to it.

First up is Doodles. Enjoy.

Doodles

Words on paper
so I see
writing to write
trying to be free.

Mind is open-
subject to talk.
argument seems the topic
so often discussed.

Prickly feelings all around,
sticky arguments simmering,
bubbling to the surface-
sad times for the clowns.

Boredom is eminent
all i can see
is cruel intent
on the horizon for me.

Spring Haiku

flocks arrive in droves.
grass grows in the longer days
seasons are changin
