Shaken From a Dream (Senryu)

Shaken from a dream

Reality seems blurred

Which of them is real

.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Confusion (Acrostic)

Chaos corrals me

Only to cut me loose with a fury

Nothing makes sense anymore

Frying my feeble brain

Useless is it to resist

Steely is her grip

Instead I submit

Only to plunge deeper into the darkness

Never to return

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

 

Streaks Across the Sky (Haiku)

Streaks across the sky

An unnatural beauty

Contrails mosaic

.

Serenading Me (Tanka)

Serenading me

Songbirds in the cottonwoods

A lovely alarm

To wake to nature’s music

Just as Heaven intended

.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

So Many Aches and Pains

So many aches and pains

Never use to be this way

I could go for hours

Suddenly the years take toll

And the body does rebel

Very strange indeed

These natural frailties

That affect us all

One can cosmetically fight

But in the end…aging wins

 

~~ Dominic R DiFrancesco ~~

 

Works Satisfaction (Haiku)

Works satisfaction

Goodness for the human soul

Man’s accomplishment

.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Buzzing in My Ear (Haiku)

Buzzing in my ear

Bees busy pollinating

Nothing to be feared

.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Heart Sings to My Soul (Senryu)

Heart sings to my soul

A song only I can hear

Joyously living

.

Discarded as Trash (Haiku)

Discarded as trash

Its rough edges worn away

Beauty of sea glass

Grey and Sullen Day

Grey and sullen day

Sun muted by heaven’s cloak

From window chairs view

Birds and bees care little

Refusing to deviate

A glorious show

Playing out on natures stage

Standing ovation
