Ah the copious talent
Mother Earth herself lent
To the hues and the flavors
In plenteous heft.

In Parallel

Live your life
Alongside
Everything
That matters.
Let light flow
In lines parallel
To heart
And mind.
We are all of us
One of a kind,
All singular
In presence.
Yet we are none of us
An isolation,
None free from impact
On what there is
And all that will become.
May we ride
This shared Earth
Side by side.
May we align
Our spirit
To be
Kind.

Ode to a Little Dude’s Mood
Photo: 1940-50 Philadelphia Phillies Patch
(Dedicated with a hug to a little dude in a mood … )
You fret
You toss
You turn
You snooze.
You pray your team
Won’t ever
Lose.
You wake up
Early
Hear the news.
You shout
You cry
You read reviews.
Time for some
Pancakes
To sweeten
Blues …

The Crank
Photo: Vivian Maier (Girl Crying) N.Y. 1954
She huffed and she puffed and she stomped her small feet. She whined and she cried and she kicked the car seat. She refused to wear shoes, threw her coat on the ground. Made sure everyone heard her for miles around. She tossed food on the floor. Then asked for some more … Like a kid on a mission for the spoiled child edition.
Evening came.
Gramma called.
Mama handed the phone.
“Tell me now, little one, what on earth’s going on?”
“I’m a crank,” the child said in response. “Now Mama’s tired, all on my own.”

Spring Song

Flowers burst
From the ground
Green shoots sprout
All around
Birds a-chirp
Trills abound
As Spring is finally
Inbound.

Deplete Hate

Let us deplete
The harm
The hate
So more room’s left
To tolerate
The differences
We may create
As we attempt
To integrate
Beliefs well overdue
Update.

Glimmers of Hope
Photo: Toni Hadi
Even in chaos
Where foul mouths and ill deeds offer little beyond
Spin and mope,
You can find and define many glimmers
Of hope:
In the smiles of a child,
In the buds that push up from a freshly thawed ground,
In expanding delight of inquiring minds,
In the light that reflects from a window just shined,
In the wriggling joy of a pup under hand,
In humanity’s goals that your heart understands,
Your soul now demands,
And your words and your acts and your vote get behind.

Awaken
Photo: Ofir Asif
Awaken to what never should have
Taken place,
Yet had.
The millions
Whose lives were snuffed by calculated horror
Tattooed hate,
Enslavement, and
Smoky clouds.
Remember it,
Because such evil
Should not be allowed,
And yet there are the voices
Still denying.
There are those
Who would repeat,
Who relish violence and
Lament “not finishing the job.”
Awaken,
To what never should have
Taken place.
Yet had.

Hold Up
Photo: Inbar Asif
It is alright
To pause,
To stop,
To dial back the crush
Of too chaotic
Stuff.
Hold up.
It won’t disrupt
Your pace of life,
If you let in a slower breath
That fills your lungs
With calm,
Instead of huff
And puff.

Fickle Fury
Photo: Ofir Asif
In the furor of fury
Frothing rage
At the truth,
Do not let floods
Form furrows
In foundations of sooth.
Let the foam
Ferry falsehoods
Like the filth film
From swamps,
And find footholds
In facts
Against fear flashing
Tromps.
