Poetry ~ Waka
Cool breeze
From the Pacific
And yet feels hot
16 degrees versus 5
It’s all relative

Beauty slips away
Leaving me nostalgic
Until tomorrow
Beauty slips away
Last glimpse
I hold my breath
Leaving me nostalgic
That last page of a novel
Like saying goodbye
Until tomorrow
But how many will remain
sunsets

Daily moments- twilight and me (troiku)
Clouds scatter
Pale blue sky whispers
Come out and play

Daily Moments – Feb 7/18
Snow covered roads
Brisk winds carry me
Down South
Snow covered roads
Skilled drivers
With nerves of steel
Brisk winds carry me
Despite
Ice tipped wings
Down South
Like leaving Kansas
For the land of Oz

waiting
anticipation heightens
blue moon
hides shyly behind snow clouds
only stars catch the show
(c) Tournesol’18
seeking the words (free verse – tanka)
wordless
lifeless
time goes by
do I ignore her?
or she eludes me?
like running on empty
body goes through the motion
thoughts no longer genuine
scripted, politically correct
boring as hell
but life goes on
no one is touched
no one is moved
my soul hangs in limbo
wordless
lifeless
time goes by
do I ignore her?
or she eludes me?
glare of a fifteen inch screen
stares at me –motionless … dumb
thoughts have yet to be seen
dulled sentiments simply numb
sinking deeper in a well of bile
a new meaning’s been given
to that famous green mile
no longer defining a planned death
this madness within will soon escape
released with each mindful breath
wordless
lifeless
time goes by
do I ignore her?
or she eludes me?
but then…
icicles shimmer
pure beauty radiates
searching for the words
sunshine melts indifference
my muse has just returned

Daily Moments January 28 2018 – searching the words
rain, sleet, snow
winter’s eccentricities
sun shines on the snow
rain, sleet, snow
trying to walk upright
most times
winter’s eccentricities
faced with challenges
daring us to seize
sun shines on the snow
her warm embrace,
mother nature’s smile

yesterday
winter watercolours
today a memory
yesterday
sighs forming
flow with the current
winter watercolour
once frozen in time
now a puddle
today a memory
nothing lasts forever
change is constant

Daily Moments – January 19/18 Nature’s Life Lesson
snow swaddles the earth
the old spruce stands tall
aims to the heavens
snow swaddles the earth
mother nature’s lullaby
whistles through the night
the old spruce stands tall
guiding through the storm
a landmark
aims to the heavens
children’s soft whispers
bedtime prayers
