Consider pigeons

by on Apr 30, 2018

Consider pigeons
with their silly feet
and stoplight eyes
their feathers’ rainbow shine
like oil on a puddle . . .

Then suddenly
one flies
wheels and dips on silver wings
fine as any falcon

So, my poetry

Four Haiku

by on Dec 4, 2014

 

Threesome …
they lie in bed together
petting the cat

 

quarreling sparrows
the old woman says a gray dove
is their mother

 

Bright wind
a white cloud of ibis
touch the earth

 

Green trees
and silver clouds
no poems but this
