Haikus:

Dare I rhyme haiku,
Even though I don’t have to?
Dare to rhyme, I do.

Scratches on the wall …
In a jail cell … in a jail
Cell … in a jail cell…

To him, it was like
A morganatic union;
Left us with nothing.

She loves to stare close.
Capricious eyes. Left to right.
Exploring my face.

Memories will make
Outliving you too painful.
And death, too blissful.

What are the odds we,
In this era, together,
Got to fall in love?

Perception:
No one else will see
From these eyes.

Wings awash in wind.
Tumbling, soaring, living.
One with the heavens.

My song travelling,
Time and time and time again,
Beyond the branches.

Where could they be now;
The stories I wrote for you
Many years ago?

Prairie grass so tall,
I could pretend I was a
Savanna lion.

On our knees, we searched.
Elusive four-leaf clover
Hiding in the green.

It’s incredible;
Vibrant colors that spring forth,
From impeding death.
