Sharp splinter once, you
Happened to find
A sea that tossed and
Rolled you, smoothing your edges
Deftly.

Uniting
Needs disparate
Individuals to let go
Of their
Narcissistic fighting.

Happy Lunar New Year 2019!


Pigs
Of the lunar calendar
Revel; the
Clout of their snouts
Is on a level with their
Natural happiness in
Ever sniffing out fruitfulness.

Dusk


Shorter wavelengths are
Usually scattered by the
Numerous particles the light
Shines through; as
Evening approaches, reds and oranges are
The only visible hues.

They were pickled, after all


Peter might have
Engrossed himself in
Picking the fabled
Peck, but was it
Eight dry quarts, or were these
Really wet?

Merci, Monsieur Pierre Poivre?

Self-command


Calming
One’s
Mind and body is a
Practiced way
Of being; the
Senses are keen,
Unperturbed and serene. The
Result
Equals a new kind of seeing.
