Spring Equinox 2018

Spring Equinox Blog

Only six minutes late this March 20th, it's officially the first day of spring but here in Hawaii the day is already six minutes longer than the night. Happy Springtime!

Starting with my New Year Haiku, here is a little collection of poems I've written this year:


twenty seventeen
turns eighteen, indifferent
spinning world dares me


players all in life
thinking we know the script
wait - surprise finish


timing the empty
spaces, sure to be claimed by
regret or desire


yes, red is lucky,
three of anything also
good, like a haiku


all that I learned by
not speaking was the issue
for me to confront

later speaking, all
I learned was depth of anger
yet to parcel out


twenty-six letters
combined and recombined
endless my delight


tentative text waits -
ideas, words meander
seeking bold reveal


rapid ideas 
vaporizing faster, gone 
with single misstep


pure innocence - some
love because, some in-spite of,
while others just love


as a mayfly turns 
languidly with a thin breeze
 
my life expended



life is good in Molokai
