I wonder
Is fifty five years too long
To miss you

I too was young once
And over the years I found
Once was quite enough

Her hair was a blaze
Of Autumn Glory.... shining
Like a new dawn day

"Autumn Airs"


 Autumn airs descend
And all the trees are sighing
The song of the mist

Autumn rains...
The earth smells rich and deep and
Grateful

"Red Mugs"



I read that brewing tea
In a Red Mug
Makes the tea
Taste sweeter

But brewing my tea
In a Red Mug
That says
"Keep Calm
You're only 40"
Makes me feel
Much Younger!

"Eagles" haiku





Johnny Cash sang it
"Like a mighty rush of Eagles!
Wish I'd written that

"The East is Always Calling" tanka



Leave cold tears behind
The East is always calling
Like breeze through bamboo

I yearn for quiet temples
And busy market places
