050310d Monday Morning
where is my big orange ball
it should by horizon by now
this fog is shielding everything
how helpful this nature be
besides impair on my vision
ah! it provides moisture to tree
little bit colder could be snow
purification of earth's surface
clouds are red like rose bloom
too low it could touch the boom
towering over a fog & building
what a day to start a morning

042411D easter picnic
pine buds are now opening
to warm weather with pollen
microscopic lining floating
into some body's sensitive nose
could be mine waiting to sneeze
shudders my whole body to stop
i have my car windows close
though weather is about right
i pray calm day to be with me
today is blessing going to party
easter celebration good bonding
with families, friends and love ones

AE01 We Are All Victims
couch prop on cinder blocks
three files of sandbag on porch
those shiny tiles will come off
few miles up rooftops on water
where are rescue services, gone
warning people it's coming soon
can carry so much on your back
to journey unknown, how long
could be months, weeks or days
crops are surely lost, wash away
your groceries soon will go up
they want their money back

051010A pass the info please
i wake up to know too much
icelandic volcano spewing ash
luisiana oil leak still on gush
tiger withdraw painful at that
san antonio spurs wipe out
denny hamlin sweep darlington
what i miss is of so importance
those are checks and balance
need to know basis; i cringe
sometimes we fall to not knowing
that bites us terribly early morning
who's on watch keep that coming

061011B feathered parade
rush of air from the beach
is most wanted heat relief
oh! i open my car windows
to clear my lungs upon gasp
i slowed down to almost stop
something happening in front
geese with goose-lings on march
they own the road like monarch
two geese stop letting young ones
cross first; that really amaze me
took longer; they're taking pictures
i already have one from golf course

051011D Try Harder
small yellow flags over asphalt
giving direction for tire tracks
very strong smell of newly laid
rain would be really welcome
yes, it will be hardened quickly
run-off might be harmful to river
for every good things we get
we suffer a certain degree
maybe health or environment
how safe could be breathing
exhaust pipes or flower's pollen
you're lucky if reach retirement

It's Jungle Out There
i practiced on my gap wedges
trying to muster inside 100
i want it fly-high then drop
i love spin back; it's nice
few yards from me is punter
i saw him every afternoon
he's kicking football sky-high
30-40 easy for him; high school
we can practice life right; maybe
depends how you look at situation
me life is reality; wake up to work
you have to bring your a-game always

061810C breeze behind me
cold enough for wind breaker
but sea lovers can't be deter
strolling barefoot on the beach
looking up the hill out of reach
joyous crowd found themselves
screaming as golf ball rolls in
surfers doesn't mind waiting
surf are very shy they're hiding
thanks paddle keep 'em going
wind pick up, push dimple flight
veering left away from fairway
challenge and to fans' delight

050510G i watch with envy
two ducks massaging leaves
with their pretty slotted beaks
maybe hunting for tiny shrimps
web feet keeping them steady
like propeller on oysterly juice
soundless, efficiently being use
they saw me but didn't runaway
look up and continue their way
they're nice couple i could tell
no arguments heard just a toil
how many more of us has that
you're lucky please keep it intact

041511P help your body
an eggplant covers my plate
fried with eggs, onions, garlic
could be omelette's from east
pack with fibers; good for me
with red chili pepper; little hot
i would be drinking water lots
i never forget to have cup of rice
could be a filler in my stomach
was told too much carbohydrates
but i do lots of physical events
tomorrow would be walking golf
yes exercise does body good
