Such precious gemstones
Morning dew shines like diamonds
God’s tears from heaven

Written on 18th February 2 days before my father died


Posted 22nd February 2015

the heroes of war
with medals
lay on yonder field

soul-torn trees   forlorn
will never be    ever   green
too much rain    too   late

For Brian Strand's YOUR VERSE AGAIN
any theme/any form max of 12 lines Poetry Contest

A void of Facebook
Creativity dies here...
Procrastination!

He has gone away...
When I look for him I see...
Nothing but green grass.

The sea is unkempt
Unwary sailors regret
Thar mate has been swept

twisters swirl

nest graveyards ‘neath fallen trees

birds mourn their unborn

Sleeping in sorrow
If I don't wake tomorrow
Then all will be well.

the little wildflowers
of spring blanket the backyard
till the mower comes...

biting mountain air
baby lamb trails on the edge....
mint sauce with dinner





entry for Charles Henderson's strict Haiku 2 competition

Jobless, indebted -
battles with insanity 
- writes haiku shaiku

only foolish men
let their nation plummet, with
their eyes wide open

reluctant leaves fall
from the old tree showering
an old man walking.




[haiku contest, sponsor Constance La France, 3/2/22]

A wisp of white cloud
On a breeze, that cools the land
Autumn is soon here

in - pie - ces
why must you be in fragments?
take me pl—

ease me in-
to the pangs of oppression
let me ROT

in fragments
i trust you'll be whole again
while I break  

words left unsaid
drift upon the east wind-
freeze in my heart

many stones lifted

                                     a cemetery for loss

                                      rest your wheels - amen

Single Flower, In Winter's Grip
 
 cold and frozen heart
 graveyard, abandoned tombstone
 life, fires, dead ashes

Robert J. Lindley, 11-13-2019
Haiku, ( Where Sorrows Meet Memories )

they have what it takes
like sunset colors on blue
strength guts and virtue

like the orange sun
they are natural leaders
in red robin days

like rainbow colors
they have that extra something
in triumph or loss

Memories of you 
Keep on calling back to me 
From a distant time.

small songbird cardinal
your bush cut down from the storm
small cardinal no more

Lost blue star,
True to dark heavens,
Fallen there.

Be a lovely flame
Sparkle makes the earth to spin
For pain, loss and death

Screams above the din

A moment of grief and loss

    A loved one passes

Beauty of nature
Why condense it down to God?
Isn’t life enough?

Omniscient guy
Yet he lets bad things happen
How can he exist?

In the sea of tears
A trawler full of fishes –
The pirates attack!

Ghetto dreams, ponder
Broke hydrant, cement
Only leaking tears

Submitted to Charles Henderson's: "Haiku your way" contest.

A momentary
lapse of attention results
in a sudden loss.

Black smoke covers all
children animals run
but they can't escape

running  . . . denying

                                         I am weary -- where can I go

                                                                                         your love pursues me

The earth is green now.
The flowers open early,
blooming but to die.

God made all people
But some better than others?
Stop being silly.

pale silken strands sway
tickling the warm breezy air
honey wheat wands dance

prosperity flows
nourishing life on the farm
drought came and all died

Haiku/Senryu

A gentle wind asks
Answered, simply, why not still
Said family grieve
