This cruel plague bites quickly Faster than a scorpion stings. It vexes innocent victims airways Mountains of bitterness it brings. Could this be the end of days? Will our civilization venture anew? Might this hideous virus be stopped? My nervous friend, I wish I knew. But one thing I know is for certain The human... Continue Reading →
Poem: The Weary Wind Finds It’s Home
Whistling wind searching for home. Valleys, Oceans, forests it roams. Dancing alone above the frosty lake. Like a slithering foggy-white snake. The wind carries a melodious tune. Sailing around hot sand dunes. "I need to rest!" says the wind. A house is open around the bend. Sneaking through the cedar door. It rests on the... Continue Reading →
Poem: Wondering Under The Crisp Blue Moon
As I gaze upon this crisp blue moon. Under the blanket by the campfire. My soul longs to be much higher. Like a butterfly freed from her cocoon. If I spread my wings and fly away. My soul will journey to endless seas. Opening doors with nature's keys. All will be sunny and no longer... Continue Reading →

Haiku Poem: Wise Night Owl
The wise night owl hoots. Nestled in the carved out tree. Eyes are all you see. Did you know the owls' eyes are binocular and immobile? This means they can focus both eyes on a distant object with exquisite depth perception. And although their eyes are fixed, they make up for this restriction. For instance,... Continue Reading →

Haiku Poem: Dancing Cosmos
Galaxies of dust. Swirling the infinite sky. A dancing cosmos. What do you think about when looking up at the starry night? Does it excite you? Frighten you? Are you in wonder? Do you contemplate the meaning of existence? Are you just thankful for being alive? I am sure all of us experience different emotions.... Continue Reading →
