egret song
egret song
bouncing off the river
to the sun

smoke rises
smoke rises
in a billowing cloud
then dissipates,
like thoughtless prayers
that deserve no answer

spring-like weather
spring-like weather
bathes the river side as
geese dance in the air-
the radio tells me
"chance of snow on sunday"

cellular phone
cellular phone,
making time go faster
on the road-
the hills get bigger
as the moon gets smaller

yellow glow
yellow glow
from a street light
from a street light
through the limbs
taking the place of the leaves
and the summer sun

lone hawk
lone hawk
soars above my head
and the trees-
I'm left alone
with my cluttered thoughts
.

on my mind
on my mind
constantly at night,
the sun-
if I could, I would fly
to the east to meet him,
and hang on him,
telling him my stories
until I'm done, in summer,
when the moon
is constantly at day
on my mind

trying to see
trying to see
our icy flowerbed through
a foggy window-
my faded memory
looks for their colors

distant light
distant light
in another house
turns off-
looking to the west,
waiting for the sun
in another house
turns off-
looking to the west,
waiting for the sun

the warmth is gone
the warmth is gone,
chased away by the rain
and wind-
writing at midnight
with swollen and stiff knuckles
chased away by the rain
and wind-
writing at midnight
with swollen and stiff knuckles

last persimmon
last persimmon
hangs near the top
of a tree-
thoughts of an old man
sitting on a bench
Wednesday, January 10, 2007,11:04 PM
tell me the truth
tell me the truth-
is it global warming
or an ice age?
70's in the east,
blizzards in the west
,10:01 AM
turning the page
turning the page
to write another poem
helplessly-
time won't stop - my feelings
change from minute to minute

spring flowers
spring flowers
growing out of the ground
in winter-
I'm suddenly awake
in the middle of the night
Friday, January 05, 2007,10:02 PM
new limbs
new limbs
growing from an old one,
cut short years ago-
just when you think
something's gone, it's back
Thursday, January 04, 2007,10:05 PM
toys left outside
toys left outside
in the heavy rain-
bathed in tears
Wednesday, January 03, 2007,10:01 PM
the difference
the difference
between need and want
is lost
as robins fight over
a large piece of bread
Tuesday, January 02, 2007,10:23 PM
papers and pens
papers and pens
replaced by unseen waves
in unseen oceans
humanity silently
laughs and cries in unison
