    Summer upon us

    The desert knows no seasons

    With winter’s goodbye

  • Illness (Tanka)

    March 28, 2015

    Illness…religion

    One thing brings out the other

    Prayers for better health

    Sickness shows the frailty

    That only Heaven can cure

  • Quiet At Sunrise (Haiku)

    March 25, 2015

    Quiet at sunrise

    Daybreak’s very first moment

    Peaceful as it gets

    The passage of time

    Only man feels its effects

    Because he watches

  • Imagination

    March 24, 2015

    Imagination is…

     

    Inspiration for the painter’s brush,

    Muse for the writer’s quill,

    Angst for the actor’s role,

    Gas for the engine of invention,

    Irreverence to the twisted of mind,

    Nuance for the singers song,

    Ability for those challenged,

    Tenacity in the hearts of the weak,

    Ingenuity in the hands of the creative,

    Omniscience in the eyes of the faithful,

    Nobility in the lives of the insignificant,

     

    …And so much more.

  • Modern Art Skyline (Tanka)

    Modern art skyline

    From the brush of Picasso

    A true masterpiece

    Painted in antiquity

    It is irreplaceable

  • Carrying the Instrument

    March 21, 2015

    Carrying the instrument of your own death

    Jeering crowds spitting and taunting as you go

    Forgive them Father for they know not what they do

    Cried with sincerity for these misguided souls

    Even in this ultimate humiliation

    Your faith never faltered

    And by that we have been saved

    …How could you not love Him

  • Suspicion (Acrostic)

    March 20, 2015

    Scent of musk

    Undulating in my nostrils,

    Somehow I know it’s not mine.

    Pretend that you have been faithful,

    Infidelity is so unbecoming on you.

    Cautious smiles flirt across your face.

    I know that you know that I know the truth;

    Only denial seems much less painful.

    Now for the encore.

  • Colossal Mistake

    March 20, 2015

    Colossal mistake

    Of Biblical proportions

    Unforgivable

    Most vilified of mortals

    Christ’s Judas Iscariot
