Hibernate? (a Tanka)
Legs are out of sync
The mind’s running on empty
Time to hibernate?
Eyes do not hear the sunrise
Ears cannot see the future

Hoping for that ringing tone
Feeling all alone

For the hurt spoken

To See What is Unfound
Over at Weekly Prompts, the Weekend Challenge is the word, Edge … you may visit their fabulous site by clicking on >> Here. … My only claim to following the prompt is that I have mentioned the word “Edge” in the first stanza of my two-piece poem
To See What is Unfound
four boxes of my new book
“Until Eyes Hear Sound”
have landed and set ashore
on the edge of my loungeroom floor
now begins the next chore
become a poet’s traveling bookstore
To See What is Unfound (a Senryu)
“Until Eyes Hear Sound”
Read my new book, so profound
You will be spellbound
Available Soon …

Triggers (a Senryu)
In my soon-to-be-published new book “Unti Eyes Hear Sound”, the Senryu below, is my dedication piece to my late wife Carole.
Triggers ( A Senryu)
“Oh, that knowing smile
The wink of acknowledgment
A wave, a warm hand”

Fireworks (a Senryu)
Fireworks (a Senryu)
The fireworks died down
Ashes drift over the sea
Smiling lips of thee

Where Is Mother? (A Senryu)
Where is Mother? (a Senryu)
Floating on blue sky
An ocean whale’s young spirit
Searches for mother
The attached music/video, “The Whale”, was a #1 hit in Australia back in 1972, written and sung by my good friend Terry Fielding, and we celebrated his 76th birthday during the week.
