Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

white lightning

lightning strikes 

a white hot flash

the dark sky briefly on fire

as two souls connect

lightning strikes

Advice for the Girl’s Life: Variations on a Theme

Variations on a Theme  

Always say yes even when you mean no 
Never say I won’t when told it’s time to go  

Never raise your voice when told you have no choice
Always choose the right path even when you have no voice 
 
Always stay the course as you walk that chosen path  
Never show the world your barely buried wrath       

Always be you
Never be you

History: check. Thanks Broadway.

Haiku & Other Poetry

thoughts of yesterday (a haiku)

memories unbound

dusky hunger-sated nights

giving way at dawn
