Goodbye
January
Your leave is most welcome
Your disposition was too cold
For me

Life’s Links
Chains
Or Yoke?
Hinderance
Or Help in need?
Excessive baggage
Or good necessity?
What are you holding on to?
Is it dragging you down in life,
Or supplying you with the strength you need?
Assess what you are clinging to.

History
A journey
Of everyday
Victories
Tragedies
Life moments that are faced
Recorded for others
Shadorma
Twilight Hue
Softly night creeps in
Tiptoes on the horizon
Violet hued sky
As the blue sky gives way
To the sun’s red glowing embrace
Tanka
In Unity
Together we stand
We can share on common ground
Though we are different
Senryu
Down Home
Kentucky Blue Grass
Under my feet and in my heart
‘N’ my Banjo on my knee
Senryu
Life’s Story
In the School of Life
Write your story with good words
No eraser needed
Senryu
Positivity
Winds of change blow
Trying to chase blues away
Clouds flood the blue sky
Changing it to white and bright
Often change is good
Things take on a better hue
So if life looks blue
Rise up, try to make a change
Color your world, make it new
Choka
Trail of Tears
Emotions run deep
Family is now divided
Flood waters rising
Senryu
Friendly Flood
From kind waters flow
Ripples of true compassion
Kindness floods the earth
Haiku
