First Kiss

Halfway parted lips
Trembling, awaiting a sign—
Permission granted

The Now

Instantaneous,
My core cradled in comfort--
Our stolen moment

Let this love suffice,
Encompass all that I am;
Surrendered to you.

Whisp of Summer

Butterflies flutter
Aimless scattered paths amidst
Dandilion puffs

This one won the Haiku Harbor challenge

Determination

To grasp at a gleam;
To fight those forces making
Corpses of my dreams

Nieces and Nephews

It's hard to strike a
Stentorian pose when they
Keep tickling you.

Forward March

Change emanates from
Imaginative Leaders
Poets with Power

Not Yet Creaking

Gray hairs in stubble
On chin and cheek betray me;
I am not that old

Prop 8

I weep for justice,
The mob that votes as many--
They once were the few

Hockey Mom

Pitbull with lipstick
Could make a funny haiku
But I'll not go there


Come on, where else would you find a Sarah Palin inspired Senryu?

Zen-ku Very Much

Description defines
Poetry; good poetry
Defies description

Caveat Emptor

Doctors or Lawyers
Someone always graduates
Bottom of the class
