This was a project I did basically during the pandemic. I started writing a poem a day. Once ‘real life’ started again it got harder to write everyday, which is interesting.
I have started to edit some of these mostly the kids poetry. I think there might be enough here for a book. We shall see.
I make no claim that much of this is “good” poetry. But I do make the claim that I loved doing it and I learned something and some of it makes me cry.
a good poem
a good poem
a pond
plain beautiful words
floating
the moon
arranging light
perfectly
conjuring
this moment
my poems
want to run
in the sun
for some fun
get her done!
fling some mud
hear the thud
ain’t no dud!

The Way Forward
Sometimes standing still,
stopping to hear the inside,
starts the way forward.
something new - the senryu
I am the haiku,
perhaps the most popular
of all the poems.
How do you know me?
Count first to five, then seven,
back to five...the end.
I should talk about
nature. But today, I am
breaking all the rules.
Here is a secret.
In truth, I am called senryu.
You can look me up.
Just because I’m nice —
here is a great article
about me, senryu.
