Haiku

 

between the mist
and the edge of the forest
a white buffalo
 

 

eyes meet...
across the dance floor
air dancing a slow song

 

 

Tanka

 

feeling
this free flowing
energy
a call across the mountain
echoes at the shore

 

 

rain falls
on the bamboo
wind chimes
sounds of Lionel Hampton
a mellow touch to the night

 

 

between the mist
and the edge of the forest
shapeshifting
a white buffalo thunders
and becomes one with the clouds

 

 

Free Verse

 

break/straight

 

with a smile
a lil' left
of the west...
outlaw poets
tiptoe thru the badlands
brandishing their pens
loaded with black ink
echoes of Jimmy's
writing fingers
bent at the break
ink stained
writing
in all the margins

 

 

Free Verse

 

blues

 

strangely beautiful
indigo clouds
electricity let loose
filling a hole
in the ozone
whispering/sizzling
charging/changing
blue-eyed twilight
creeping
up the mountain
bring "cool" words
to the poet tree
a song of sadness
shared alone
