haiku

life is a miragein a desert of futilitydeath is the oasis

gathering photosreminders of yesterdaystoo soon forgotten

just have to listento miss the frogs and robinssilent in the fall

morning activity:sweeping up the detritusof yesterday

giving hope to citizensstriking fear into the hearts of criminals:The Batman

cats nappinga breeze through the tree leavestrucks on the roadway

excited shoutmuted cry for help --echo in a canyon

bamboo and coconutsaway from noise and lights:island hideaway

longing for autumnleaves crunching along the trailvees of geese honking

the forest holdswhat happens in the forest stays in the forestmany secrets

myself yesterdaymyself todaymyself tomorrow

visual artleaves it allto the beholder

cat paws at snakesnake attacks cat! -- wait! --it's just a cord

duty and service --the noblest obligationsare born of them

the Mona Lisaportrays the valueof quiddity

cat cowers insidewhile through the open windowswind blows the curtains

chipmunk gathers nutspelts the triangle trailercat cowers inside

arms a leafy hug --woodpecker tap-taps for grubschipmunk gathers nuts

the infinite skywhere near and farare the same

small circles of friendswith little intersectionmy social life
