Warm Summer

I started thinking –
Warm Summer is Haiku time,
So write one I will.

The shattered cube

Pieces of the shattered cube
Danced
Like so many dry rice grains
Scattered on a vibrating electric football field.
And as I reassemble it,
I miss that purposeful randomness
Which visited my childhood.

Poem of the week

Letting go of the orderly alphabet comes much easier now,
as it falls in heaps on the floor.
Stack the rings. Restack the rings.
That is the peaceful struggle I wage with chaos.
Time slips quickly, yet life is rich with moments –
I will surely miss the clutter when it is gone.

Poem of the week

The absence of my breath
by Greg Pierce
The absence of my breath
is sometimes not appearant,
seemingly lost in the fuss and flurry.
But the fact remains,
you have taken it away.
