Round and round it goes;
Where it stops, nobody knows.
Rampant, vile, vicious lies,
Roll around tongues, pretentious in guise.
Circulate within a domain . . . more

Like An Omen
It is mid January.
A bird happily sings from a lone branch.

Standing on the dock
My voice echoes in black sky
And travels to stars
Dogs within two miles
Can hear my cry in the night
The sky hears nothing . . . more

Leaf of a water lily ~
Floats gracefully by.
Birds sing on pond twigs
Frogspawn floating in clear jelly ~
Sets tone to frolic.

You are so moist and stiff.
You lay there in the sun drawing warmth from it.
As they dry, your wings take shape and spread.
Then suddenly you . . . more

How lovely you are
with your crooks and turns,
reaching high
into the bluest sky,
A perch for the

and I close my eyes just to feel;
Gentle breeze ruffles through my hair
I take a deep breath just to heal;
Something about this mountain air
