Dancing in the sun
We spent summer days together
What a pair we made.
Haiku

Dancing in the sun
We spent summer days together
What a pair we made.
Haiku

Standing tall wherever I am
Monoku

Things are not always as they seem.
What we see may not be what is.
Sometimes eyes play tricks,
And our mind does also.
We need to ask ourself,
Is reality
Truly what
My eyes do
See?
Nonet

Cloud cover
Signs in the sky
We keep looking above
For answers to problems on earth
To come
Cinquain

At this sunset hour
New opportunity waits
Just around the corner
Haiku

Trees seen whispering
To the fading grass below
“It’s that time again.
Leaves are preparing.
Who’ll be first to fall,
And cover you with color,
Smothering your blades,
Saturating the landscape
With variegated patchwork?”
Choka

Scent of Fall swirls as
Gossipping leaves rustle
September arrives
Haiku

Non-edible crown
The blossom of the thistle
Conceals a soft heart
Haiku

They said “Just give in”
They said “You’ll never get far”
They said “ You won’t win”
They said “Just give in”
They said “ Don’t even begin”
They said “Who you think you are?”
They said “Just give in”
They said “You’ll never get far”
I said “ I won’t give in”
I said “ I’ll make it someday”
I said “ I will soon win”
I said “ I won’t give in”
I said “ I will begin”
I said “ I will soon find a way”
I said “ I won’t give in”
I said “ I’ll make it someday”
Double Triolet
Written to all the Naysayers from a Yaysayer
“Never Ever Give Up!” “Stand Tall” “Grow”
(When I saw this huge tall tree on my walk the other day these thoughts came to mind)

Such a cheerful group
Heads up, looking to the sun
Ever Optimists
Haiku
