Sample Poems (Haiku) So Far
what does mortal man
know of a goddess just now
measuring her wings
— On Surrender
deep in liquid thought
treading in the undertow
glint of golden air
— On Loneliness, Paranoia, Anxiety
shudder to shutter
no place for polite lenses
where we snap awake
— On Reflection
praising the mother
empowering us to rise
one bite at a time
— On Sourdough As Salve
i brought my paddle
want to play doubles? haven’t
scored in quite a while
— On Discovering Pop Tennis At Venice Beach
a cherub on earth
plump with possibility
necklace of new stars
— On Birth
spill of raw sunrise
signals in the thinning clouds
of warm tomorrows
— On Nature As Respite
we swim naked in
a basin we built, filled with
everything we missed
— On Reconnecting
