evergreen boughs weigh
.
.
heavy with hungry sparrows
.
.
awaiting daybreak.
.

.
.
their hopeful chirping,
.
.
like sweet memories waken
.
.
a sleeping landscape.
.
.
.
.
our nature entwined
.
.
in Faith that a warming Sun
.
.
will rise once again.

‘aint no cure…Haiku
stopped at a red light
this hot and humid morning
a clean well dressed man
decked out in Ray Bans
and Rock and Roll attitiude
plays his air guitar
right on the corner!
i guess we’re his audience
’cause he’s not all shy
strummin’ his windmill
and doin’ his best Pete Townsend
impression for us
.
.
it’s September now
there is a shift in the wind
of changing seasons
Autumn will arrive
overnight without warning
perfect hand holding
and jacket weather
a painter’s color palette
of richly hued days
but this sun loving
psyche is seeing red flags
among the colors…
my conditioned response
of winter’s foul history…
soul draining darkness…
lonely bitter winds
through this heart and empty arms…
of sad memories
better left buried…
sunless days that never end,
the grey after grey
white season of fears…
the unfairness of Winter
following Autumn…
so the light turns green…
but i’m not ready yet to
give up on Summer!
i say farewell my
street mime air guitar hero!
and i thank you for
snapping me out of
air conditioned stupor
down go the windows!
because there ‘aint no
cure for my Summertime Blues
but sun and hot air!

s.a.d.ness
Sunless skies, endless
grey clouded over grey crusted
snow, creating havoc for crocus shoots
struggling to make their stand.
Winter, a slow
death by it’s thousand windy cuts
an imperceptable emotional fade, and
so few words shared between them.
Purple and orange
in full bloom now swathed across
front yard lawns stirring expectations, and
memories of their languid summer days.
Teal sky days that
started warm and ended warmer,
their uninterrupted steady sun and their
sleeveless shirts and moist sweaty skin.
Sun, her kiss
once assured his unsteady heart. So many
purple and orange reasons to be hopeful but
March, always the cruel reminder.
