Life’s dramas unfold
Don’t get caught in their dragnet
Or you may just drown
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Between Joy And Sadness Is Life
Between joy and sadness is life
Mundane and mindless
Shopping at the market
Shuttling kids from event to event
Paying the bills
Cleaning the gutters
Washing the laundry
Not to be taken for granted
Even the banal can make memories
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Somewhere In My Brain (Senryu)
Somewhere in my brain
A novel waits to be born
Playing hide and seek
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Regretting The Past (Tanka)
Regretting the past
It cannot be changed once gone
It must be let go
Otherwise it destroys
Leaving sorrow in its wake
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Mysteries Abound (Haiku)
Mysteries abound
So much unknown to mankind
Written in the stars
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Traipsing Through The Mud (Haiku)
Traipsing through the mud
So nice to feel like a kid
Hope no one sees me

Tin cup in his hand
Begging for change in the rain
Hoping to survive
Tens of thousands of dollars
Spent to sit on the fifty
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
The Heavens Opened
The heavens opened
And tears fell in a deluge
Drowning out the sun.
Show me we deserve its warmth,
The joy we get from its light.
There is so much wrong
And none of it is our fault,
Or so we believe.
Climate change, its natural;
Pollution, blame the Chinese.
Procrastination,
Our answer for everything,
How terribly sad.
“It can wait ‘til tomorrow”;
Is our national motto.
Yes, heaven opened,
Its tears fell as acid rain,
But it’s not our fault.
Leave it all for the children,
We’ll be gone soon anyway.

Songs of the Morning (Haiku)
Songs of the morning
Coming from the trees and fields
The innocent rise
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Drink The Frigid Morn (Tanka)
Drink the frigid morn
Feel your body come alive
With each vivid breath
This, the invisible force
Visible to be honored
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
