Spring

Spring into the light Cast off your shell and breathe free: Brighten up the world. HAIKU

Spring into the light
Cast off your shell and breathe free:
Brighten up the world.


Constrained or Free

Constrained, sunk by weights
Or as free as Icarus:
A fragile balance


A Chorus of Contradictions

They ask you to show that 1 + 1 = 3,
Using theorems to prove it
And explaining seriously,
And they wonder why the world
Can’t live in harmony?


A Jagged Mirror

Asphalt and concrete
Scattered with long jagged bolts –
Mirrored in gray skies


You’re a Different Person Now

You’re a different person now.
I understand that
Conceptually.
But when I look at your face,
I see the person I knew,
A person who’s no longer
Entirely you.
And I can’t treat you
Like a stranger off the street,
Someone I’ve never met.
So how can I meet you
When I can’t forget?


A Toast to Cooks

Creative wizard
Of tastiness who creates
Ode-inspiring
Kitchen magic


Time

A forgotten sound
Now replaced by glowing lights
Moving silently


Books

My nemesis is my true love(s)
Who holds me in its sway
No matter how I fight
Or resist its call
Eventually, I obey.


A Taste of Elegance

The clink of glasses
Over murmuring voices
And delicious scents


I Checked My Brain on a Flight to Spain

I checked my brain on a flight to Spain
And naively paid the fee,
But when we reached the airport,
I found myself brain-free.
The flight company waived all fault.
Insurance would not pay.
But why someone would want my brain,
I honestly cannot say.
