Awake to the Sun

Awake to the sun
Its glorious rays shining
Morning has arrived

Grass still wet with dew
As the leaves of the trees weep
Tears of moisture fall

A slug crawling slowly
Across the gritty pavement
Leaves a slimy trail

“Coo Coo” of a dove
From its perch on the rooftop
Calls out to his mate

Butterfly in flight
Soft wings of orange and black
Searching for nectar

Awake to the sun
Don’t stay in bed until noon
Look what you might miss

Oceans

ancient the waters
Mother Gaia's infinite
cradle of life
~~~
tides ebb and flow
aided by forces unseen
daily highs and lows
~~~
oceans surrounding
land held captive to its whims
what's taken comes back
~~~
underwater life
beyond imagination
from time's beginning
~~~
seagulls fly, ships sail
walrus and seal sun on rocks
sharks bite, dolphins play
~~~
briny is the air
luminescent the night glow
fog comes creeping in
~~~
in all seven seas
bottoms lined with treasure and
broken hearted men
~~~

The great I AM

In all of my days
You have loved, fed and clothed me
My words are now lost.

Dew drops hang on end
Even thorns in rose bushes
Still your beauty shows

Worthy is your name
As the sun rises in the east
Faithfully, you are.

Poetry Defined

Poetry defined
(Or what does it mean to me)
Freedom of the mind

Entering new realms
Escaping reality
Starting a journey

Opening up doors
A path to enlightenment
The mind is broadened

Pushing through jungles
While searching for the clearing
The source of new thoughts

A cleansing of sorts
Refreshing a stagnant soul
Rebirth of grey matter

Exploring frontiers
Expanding the horizons
A new land conquered

So now you all know
As put into my own words
Poetry defined

This collection of Haiku are from my dear friend and member TrueBlue. He wrote these some time ago, and I placed a copy here for all to enjoy his {unique and non-traditional} Haiku as well. It does go a bit over the limit with a total of 28 lines.

-"World War Three"
Tales of World War III
Constitutes the spectacle
Signed with thier honor

-"Two Face"
Healing hands destroy
This siamese beast is man
Inseparably

-"Intolerance"
Everlasting man
Strength to be inflexible
A minimalist

-"Torment"
In parrallel worlds
Spirit and soul entangled
Like Adam before

-"Science of Transcience"
Elsewhere providence
All horizons are alike
In a foreign land

-"Passing"
Beautiful stanger
Inspiring me with desire
Cure me of this love

-"Denying Eden "
Dystopic stillness
The garden in which we've sown
Inverse reaction.

Haiku associated with my forthcoming child (09/2007)

Hidden Image

The child is hidden
Under her skin
In both our image.

Sweet Kernel

With kernel forming
Life resolves from images
Coupled in waiting.

Minuscule

Meticulously
Resolving without a thought,
Without memory.

Shell

Virginal and white
empty room fills with birdsong,
heralding a child.

Unwanted Guests

Twisted thoughts abound
As insanity sets in
Tearing at my mind

What used to house peace
Tranquility the tenants
Now out on the street

The vacancy filled
Here lives torture and torment
Unwanted renters

Property destroyed
Holes punched through my memories
The damage is done

Rooms are left empty
Now uninhabitable
Padded walls my home
