Spring Rain

Misting rain drifts down
coats the leaves like jewelry
nature's subtle gift.

Wish I had yer positive attitude.

Looking over blueprints for an "Ark" right now!


Great metaphors...bang on.

Empty soulless knife
cuts through innocent victims
without guilt or remorseful

New Growth

Sky forever weeps,
not in sorrow or in pain
not guilt or remorse
but with joyous nourishment
for it's green children below.

Love the "positive" side of life, Bob... that some overlook with only surface appreciation.

Top 40 Radio

Songs once so vibrant
Now have become something cheap,
hamstrung by success,
thoughtlessly stripped down to bone
and left for the carrion.

Golden dawn breaks soft
Eyes like secrets held in light
Spring bends toward her smile

Intense sorrow that
ocean-like floods our spirits
drowning in sadness.

North Country

Woods deep and darkened
Primordial fears arise
then the urge to run.

Late Spring

Drone of lawnmowers,
chainsaws moan in the distance,
controlling nature.

Bush/forest can be nice...but there's also dark side.

"Primordial" says it well.

Born of memory
Muses weave time into song

“O snail” by Kobayashi Issa​

O snail

Climb Mount Fuji,

But slowly, slowly!

Late Spring

Drone of lawnmowers,
chainsaws moan in the distance,
controlling nature.

Man in the midst of all that "cacophony" doesn't realize his fragility.
