Signs are everywhere
If only we had courage
To live out our dreams
But like the acrophobic
We are paralyzed by heights

The Tender Shiver (Tanka)
The tender shiver
From an early snows caress
Like first kiss passion
Stoked with anxious excitement
Culminates in inner peace

Elegant lady
Adorned with a crown of gold
Caped in morning fog
Oh the sights you must have seen
Monarch of the Golden Gate

Polluting body and soul
Leaving you hollow
Inconsolable regret
Will become your lifelong friend

Best of intentions
Go astray very often
When offered rashly
Acting without second thought
Can drive a wedge between friends

My Spirits Journey (Tanka)

Visited ad nauseum
Questions no answers
Unresolved for a lifetime
A mystery ‘til the end

Hypnotised by azure eyes
I am left speechless
Words seem so inadequate
For beauty not of this earth

Souls lost between provinces
Unable to leave
Reliving their earthly hell
Trapped in the netherworld

Faces in the Crowd (Tanka)
Faces in the crowd
Each–a novel without words
To be imagined
Comedy or tragedy
We will never know the truth

Circle of Love (Tanka)
Our circle of love
Forged in a golden token
Worn on our left hands
Once held sacred before God
Is now a Cracker Jack prize
