A Garret in Arles
As a poet
She knew what Van Gogh
Must have felt
All those years
Creating images in
Splashing color
Blood and dreams mixed in oil
(That)
The rest of the world
Out of misplaced time, deemed
Worthless.
(Previously published in The Underbeat Journal, No.2, July 2003)

A good poem
is like a bullet that goes
straight to the heart
life and death on the line
immortality
but a short breath away.

A Honeycomb In Amish Country
Nestled into the side of a hill
Warm fire, blazing
Comforter and footstool
Coffee steaming from a freshly brewed pot
Through the windows bay
A circle of stone to
Frame the sky
Mist in the valley like a dream
Awakening
The red light of morning
Peeking oer the trees
Somewhere below
Down a road winding through
An unseen distance
The clip-clop, clip-clop
Horse and buggy on its way
Bird song and cow bell
Dragonfly and wildflower
Still pond and fragrant field
The beckoning promise of
Another day.

A part (senryu)
A part of me died
wounded brother limped away
darkness in the crib
