Best Friends Forever.
“Always” seems less tangible
as we reckon years.
Tonight it’s hamsters,
or maybe they’re guinea pigs…
Haiku done. Bed time.
So many options,
fluttering from flame to flame,
How do you choose one?
“Don’t play with your food.”
What good is being grown up
if you can’t bend rules?
Almost seems a shame
to thwart such tenacity,
but it must be done.
My country, my home:
I have loved you in disgrace…
Today, I feel pride.
How high are our hopes?
Tomorrow the climb begins:
can he carry us?
What you think you know:
merely shadows, reflections,
of reality.
No impermanence
can withstand the deft power
of camera-in-hand.
Back when we were new
each small achievement was worth
a celebration.
Eat your veggies, child.
Life would be too easy if
“NEED” equated “WANT”.
Everything’s ready.
Everyone’s waiting for you.
Welcome, little one!!
Just before waking
there is a moment of grief
when the world must end.
How small is the world?
Does it rotate around you?
And can you save it?
The air is pregnant.
Pungent, sharp smell of ozone…
The storm approaches.
