Tanka: The Worrier
Looming housework: dust, dirt, grime
Attack my eyes each
Day I peer here, there.
Get broom, mop, soap, dust rag more
Worry is tiring. Postpone.

No More Hellos
The phone rang again
She hesitated once more
To take the call now
Would prove that she is not strong
She knows well what he will say
She lets it ring on
Becoming deaf to its sound
As he did to her
Knowing she should not engage
So she lets it ring
Eventually
He will come to realize
What he had was not
The kind of love she needed

The Moors
Grey fog wisping 'round
Not a sound or sight to see
A slow envelope
Folding down upon the land
As night creeps into the moors

Spring Woodland
Courting birds in song
New leaves bursting forth in trees
Waking forest floor
Ramble amongst grasping ferns
Soaked with early morning rain

Memory
Fading memory
Frustrates thoughts of yesterday
From misty recall
Faraway days of childhood
Flood perfectly into view

Clouds
White clouds high in sky
Drifting in welcome warm breeze
Expose burning sun
I, on the long sandy beach
Approach cooling cobalt sea.

Day Twenty Six
APRIL
What about April
Even weeds are weedier
What happened to spring
More showers this year than last
And today the snow came back
In Piccadilly
The man with the feeding tray
Waiting for the birds
The grass is always astro
Dream on you know you can’t play

Nature's Forecast
Dawn awakening
The sun, full like a ripe peach
Curtseys to the moon
As it powder paints the sky
With warning signs of danger.
