Looking out through ornate bars
-a playful prison.

Mother and daughter
Swinging together in park
-feeling breeze through hair.

Could We Go Any Slower?

Rainy day traffic
Slogs its way through bottleneck
-an eternal crawl.

I waited for an hour,
Then I had to go myself
-I missed seeing you.

Staying Young

A child plays and laughs,
Old woman stares with contempt
-she was never hugged.

Drifting Off?

A wonderful world
Is sharply interrupted
-when my name is called.

A Time To Rest

Papa and small girl
Take a nap as daylight wanes
-clock ticks, yet stillness.

Spring's Child

She waves in wide arcs,
Wind lifts wands' purple streamer
-Lasting memory

Happy Easter

I asked forgiveness,
He showed me His hands
-Where the nails had been.

A Place To Lay His Head.

A guarded cave sealed
With a stone, many pass by
-a tomb for a King.

Not Forsaken

He was on the cross,
Looking up and despairing
- and yet still praying.

Fellowship

I prayed for Peace-
He had me go out and bring
People together.

No Fear

Praying fear would leave,
Holy Spirit came to me
-I walked with new Peace.

Breaking Bread

I asked Him for food
He took a loaf and broke it
-and gave me seven.

Slithering off Irish Soil,

As He enters the city
-riding a donkey.

As a time like Spring, for growth

Sometimes-God help me,
I immagine that you've died!
Pure desolation.

Writer's Block Anyone?

Aisles and aisles of books,
I came to write, perused instead
- O just a haiku.

A Day In Court

On Jury Duty
I sit, drink coffee, and read
-they never pick me.

Casting its shadow on walls
-into darkness, light.

I ride the train home,
And when I walk through the door
-you run up to me.

Set Those Clocks Back!

An hour lost each Fall,
Then gained back in Spring with light
-give and take of time.

No Piece Of Cake!

Try feeding youngsters
What they know is good for them

Careful!

Sometimes nobodies
Turn out to be somebodies
-tread softly with fear.

To Be Young Again

A boat is guided
Through large mountains of bubbles
-by a child's small hand.
