Haiku Koo-Koo
Camera-shy duck
A mallard celebrity?
He’s got that swagger!
Gravity
I’ve lost a little weight
On the molecular level
Though it may not show
In the mirror’s stare
When I step onto
The universal scale
I’m so much smaller
From way out there
That Was Then
Nothing worse than losing
That someone who cared
Nothing harder to carry
Than a burden unshared
Gossip Knot
Is the opposite
of One
All, or None?
Is there anything worse
than a good deed
undone?
Haiku Koo-Koo
Old trees utilized
Man’s skilled hands
breathe renewed life
Old wood stands again
Imbalance
Dealt Unfairly
Beyond any doubt
Proud demanding
With self-righteous clout
Feel entitled
‘Cause you go without
More deserving
‘Cause you dare to shout
Fair misfortunes
Should all balance out
Yet defeated
Along such a route
So offended
Now you stew and pout
Understand now
What it’s all about
Today Is Not Tomorrow
Today is not tomorrow
Tomorrow is not today
There is no time to borrow
From ahead, nor yesterday
Live only in the moment
Don’t linger upon the past
For change is always current
And the current’s changing fast
Go
Go
Opposite of stay
Leave
Make a getaway
Going
Nothing left to say
Leaving
Making your own way
Gone
Come again some day
Left
Made the bastards pay
Julio and Romiette
Julio, O Julio…
Wherefore canst thou be?
Here I am, fair Romiette…
A-hiding up this tree
Julio, I ask of thee…
Pray, tell me why you hide?
Romiette, I love thee so…
Let us try suicide!
Sweet Julio, say ‘tis not so…
Surely didst thou mis-speak!
Romiette, O Romiette…
Let not thy heart grow weak!
Julio, O Julio… Let us die with our arms entwined!
Romiette, dear Romiette…
Thou first, if thou don’t mind!
Haiku Koo-Koo
Ewe and her spring lamb
Nose nudging soft wooly warmth
New life greets new life
Haiku Koo-Koo
Two white plow horses
Kicking up the barnyard dust
Eager for the field
Haiku Koo-Koo
Steaks hiss on the grill
Casually sipping beer
This is paradise!
