INFATUATION (Senryu)

 

Infatuation

Word is long, feeling is brief

Briefly exciting

THE CURIOUS MIND, a poem

 

 

The curious mind thrives

in the age of the internet

With many forks in the road

on the information highway,

each answer spurs

question after question,

continuing until curiosity

is sated or exhausted

THE TRUMP DEFENSE, Senryu

 


He did it for Trump

A lousy defense on trial

Going to prison

CONJUGAL SECRETS, a poem

 


 

Think of others,

and so will I

Yet, we’ll be together

till we die

 

Our inner thoughts

might center on desire

for those in our pasts

who set us on fire

 

Don’t tell me,

I won’t tell you

And, we’ll live

happily ever after

DOZING, a tercet

 


 

Dozing today

and every day

Sleeping life away

AFTERLIFE DESIRES, a poem

 

When I cross the Styx,

let me rejoin her

and experience the aftertaste

of a delicious meal;

recall works of art:

a film, a novel, a poem,

the warmth of a blanket

on a cold winter day,

the wash of cold beer

over my parched tongue,

the taste of Irish Whiskey

and wine, red or white,

the exhilaration of winning

a race, a prize, a contest

Finally, being greeted

by a welcoming God.

ROAD RAGE, a Senryu

 

Impatient driver

Angrily honking the horn

A foolish person
