Farewell My Friends

Farewell my friends
My peace with thee
With these busting tears
I set thee free

Pride of the Ocean

Pride of the ocean
The brave and the free
Sailor’s devotion
Compare unto thee.

Reading a book of Haiku

Early Sunday morning
Reading a book of Haiku
The wind keep blowing
The pages forward

April is My Birth Mother

April is my birth mother
I am a child of spring
April is my birth mother
I am a child in need

Big Sur

Big Sur

Jack the waves
Break upon the beach
Did your brother
You ever in heaven
Come to meet.

The hair of a bow

The hair of a bow
Vibrate the head
And frog screw hums
And music said
I am strong
without words.

Black Man

Black man
I admit
You’re not
As old
As weather
But old
Enough to know
Than even
Sex has a soul.

A Point of Pen

The sun’s heat
Reaching from
So far cringes
The sun strucked
Arm still i
Pen this poem
To its end.

Be My Teacher

Be my teacher, be my guild
Leave me toward where I may spy
The deeper secrets of nature before my eyes.

He Who In Life

He whom in life, battle firm
Shall bear by hope’s tender hands
The strength to endure all that he can.
