Only together
Can humanity at last
Reach enlightenment

friends?

I thought we were friends!

With such lusty word making,

Who says we are not?

Great Gray

Just across the road
The Great Gray Mountain Kitty
Dreams of running streams

Loved

Once I did it right
Loved for almost seven years
Divorced, no children

Mom and Pop hovered
Finding a hummingbird nest
I was chirped away

Un-valentine-able

I left her alone
Afraid I had created
A monster like me

archive

backward through the blogs
archive holds my very best
even those unread

downright

someday I'll be blonde
beautiful, downright sexy
"cool new profile page"

Haiku Valentine

I left her alone
Afraid I had created
A monster like me

Equinox

Hello to my friends
Goodbye to my enemies
Which one are / were you?

row

row your boat gently

down the stream row merrily

life is but a dream

Silver Thread

What's this on my chin?
Looks like lint, but won't brush off,
Tucked tight in my beard

Good Lord! A gray hair!
What can I possibly do
to feel young again ?

Suddenly so old---
Reverse the signs of aging---
They'll call me Gray Beard!

I could shave it off
Maybe join Hair Club For Men
Buy some new tweezers

Time for a sports car
Gotta get a trophy wife
Become "hip" again

Salt and pepper's cool
Snow on roof, fire in furnace
Better get wise quick

Go see a doctor
A good gerontologist
He'll give me something

Advice on aging
A A R P membership
I should quit smoking

I'll be the Great Sage
Elder of my mountain tribe
Not just some...old...man
