Heaven
Knows the glory
Of spinning, whirling orbs,
While Man unravels grand puzzles
On earth

Someday, when I am all grown up, this haiku will be a full-fledged poem of love for humanity that, after infancy, can only be reached when the security walls are down. I hope I grow up soon. I love you. . . .

I never had a lying tree, but I love to ponder the fun it would have been with one.
Lying Tree
If I stood you by a sapling tree
When you were only three
And carved a tiny bar
Above your head,
Then took . . .

"Come stay with me," it seems to say. "I was built a long time ago and I'm still a good host!"
Here I Am
Perky yellow cottage
Fronted by a sculptured hedge
Knows its cozy worth . . .

. . . babies from their parents, friends of the clubhouse kind, it doesn't matter, I remember you.
Friends of Yore
Separated young
Your image is still with me
Lovely growing one

Don Quixote knew what he was doing, folks . . . hey . . . what's that, a windmill?

What woe to the bard
That haiku should be sneered at
As a mere trifle
When landed and strong
And fit . . .

All baby wanted was to play with the cats, but she failed as they skedaddled for their most secure hidey holes. Later, with the house quiet the cats investigate and decide for themselves whether a good . . .

Have you ever noticed that when life renews, something always manages to be added that gives fresh luster to it.
Changing Times
Ever-shifting moves
Of kaleidoscopic life
Shape endless beauty

"I can see it--can you? Look. Right there--there! Where the cloud's parted. The crest."
Pulse of the Quest
As a teacher I will teach
As a student I will learn
As a friend I will be both . . .

I like my kids a little, too!
Progeny Loved
The strength that was mine
Will be in the puma's leap
In the sweet-living you

Old court building auras still remain in the heartland--their masonry cool to the touch, their interior walls smelling pleasantly of lacquer, carpet and paper. They exude pride in what was created . . .

Harsh times, brutal work, laughter born of times shared, bonds forged of anything given in friendship attended by soft, caring eyes--perhaps a shovel and a tear--greeted our people moving west as they . . .

I hope this haiku says it all to you.

I feed on your love
So full of inspiration
And beautiful thoughts

It may be invasive (jury's out on that), but it sure adds highlights to a place
Local Color
Summer in Coos Bay,
Blue and gray with yellow streaks
Of brilliant Scotch Broom

. . . and the river shall remain nameless for better, more joyous times
Green Comes Tomorrow
Lonely river flows
Past a town that took its wealth
Wanting its color

The long stretch of wide, hardly sloping beach knows dogs on flat out runs, ravens squatting on driftwood, and inventive people trying to keep floppy hats atop their heads

A spell spent in "Elsewhere" can do this
Hunger for Home
Barometer falls
In the desert of elsewhere
Thirsting for the sea

Out of towner sees proud building after the Class of 2006 has graduated and the campus seems deserted. Go Marshfield!

Namesake to a distant past
Now awaits fresh . . .
