Thunder rolls…
read out loud
before a cardboard heart
is torn at recess
decades since that first spring storm
thunder rolls, I recall her name
of Earth…
human kindness
these earth days after
Earth Day
Vegas tattoo..
everyone knows
what happened in Vegas
half heart tattoo
Justice…
after therapy the same war

Prom Corsage…
early prom
wrapping the corsage
in layers
April storm…
April storm
finding the unfound
Easter eggs
Cherry Blossoms…
I was fortunate enough and grateful to have one of my verses published by the online journal tinywords issue 16.1| 5 April 2016.
The inspiration for this verse was the great Issa who wrote plenty of verses that focused on the beauty and wonder of cherry blossoms.
A good source for more of Issa’s work is the website haikuguy.com.
One of my favorite haiku written by Issa is as follows:
feeding the whole
neighborhood…
cherry blossoms
– Issa (as translated and published on the website haikuguy.com by David G. Lanoue)
Degas pose…
thumbprints
smudge the red brick wall
a B-girl
in a Degas pose
spraypaints her lover’s name
for sale…
