DESIRE

 

 

Desire for romance

And new experiences

Brought what was wanted

The romance was lovely

While it lasted

New experiences came

And passed

The pleasures thinned

The memories remained

A WELCOME REVIEW OF THE DREAM DANCER

 

 

A reviewer using the name PostScript filed the following review

of THE DREAM DANCER on Kindle:

 

5.0 out of 5 stars Tells it like it is

Superbly well written book that really activates the senses and compassion

for the travails of oppressed people. It also gives deep insight on why the native

American characters are the way they are and why they react and suffer. There's no happy

ending until spirit departs the agony of his condition inflicted on earth. A profoundly

moving book.

                                               

            

RAIN, haiku

 

Rain comes pouring down

Feeding fields and filling streams

Please God, not too much

DARK YEARS AHEAD

 

Four dark years

lie before us

Hopefully, our way

be eased by sparks

heralding democracy

until the ordeal

is over

and Donald Trump

and his minions

are swallowed

into a fading memory

 

KIDNEY STONES

 

 

                    I have kidney stones

                    There is pain in the forecast

                    Why me, Lord, why me

THE FIRST LYRACIST

            The sound of a flute

Made of mammoth ivory

In a cave 35,000 years ago

 

Inspired a warrior

Listening with head bowed

 To do more than hunt

 

A word sounded in his mind

To fit the music in the air

Filling him with pleasure
