In meditation,
Indian flute music soothes
-quiet mind struggles.

Be it Resolved To Write Poetry

Being Dyslexic
He was teased by other kids,
Always called "retard."
Burning inside, he showed them!
-worked hard, achieved Honor Roll.

Walking through Auschwitz,
G.I.s said Never again!
-yet, many times since.

They marched with banners,
Yelling their protest slogan of peace
-"Hell No!-we won't go."

Puritan Forefathers
Vowed to build City on Hill
-hanged those thought witches.

He so loved the world,
To save it, endured the cross
-men gambled below.

Escaping famine,
They passed through Ellis Island
-to build better life.

Jack had foolproof plan,
To be a very rich man!
-sell Tofu coffee.

My wife told me once,
Eat only three plates per meal!
-New Year's resolution.

A Small Gesture

Small girl on Swanboat
Waves to children on the bridge
-they wave too, and smile.

Children R.I.P.

For the victims of Child Abuse
She fell down the stairs
Newspapers said at the the time
-but so many times?

I passed a small grave
The earth still moist from digging
-he has now found Peace.
