Again and again I cry
Again and again I stay
Again and again I sigh
Again and again I pay
Again and again I try
Again and again I pray
Syllablic Verse

Not Stepping Stones
The stones of life
Large or small, can trip you up
Choose your steps with care
Think before you place your foot
Stones are everywhere
Tanka
The Bench
I sit here and wait to see
Who will visit me
Maybe a bee
Or leaf fallen from a tree
There is a possiblity
It may be a dignitary
On this bright Spring day
Or a tired child at play
Come what may
Night or day
All are welcome
Not just some
So whether King or Bum
I don’t care where you’re from
If you’re passing by
Please sit and say “Hi”
Skeltonic Verse
Tear TastingÂ
Have you ever
Tasted tears of sorrow
After tasting defeat?
Have you ever
Tasted tears of delight
After tasting success?
Tasting tears
Be they bitter or sweet
Is the palate of life
Syllabic Verse
In the Future
They will look at my home
And laugh at its Vintage style
Yet no matter where I roam
I will think of my place and smile
Its not a mansion with a dome
Nor a castle on an isle
But I look at my home
And love it’s Vintage style
Rhyme
My Space
A small place
Within my head
Where I often go
To ponder something I read
Or seen
Whether I am about or in bed
The space is mine alone
To go and just be
Serene

Medieval MarginaliaÂ
Not just harmless art
Tis Genetic corruption
Not of their own kind

Be Careful Who You Listen To
Nothing can be done
I overheard them all say
But God said “No Way!
For the battle will be won!
Listen to Me and not to they”
