Happy New Year

happy new year all
it's party time - dance away
long live poetry

Sunday Whirligig

cherry bough snow woodlands wearing seventy
spring hung tree again room roam bloom



when i grow old
i wont be able
to roam about the woodlands
toboggan in the snow
sing jazz in karioke bars again 
wear cherry pink hair in spring
pick the fruit off low hung boughs
from my neighbour's lemon trees
i will probably just sit in my room
in hair rollers and big bloomers
wondering how i got to be seventy so soon

Carpe Diem ...Without You

 too little too late
at the point of no return
we just sail away

Christmas

it was cold that night
crisp beautiful dark blue sky
with a shining star
a baby in a manger
showed the world how to find its heart

Mistletoe

mom's kissing santa
underneath the mistletoe
let's go and tell dad

carpe diem haiku kai

Peace

everyone's asleep
pooch snores by the fire
peace on christmas eve


  Carpe Diem Haiu Kai
