This is super cool! Finally, a visual version of telling patrons that "the books near [the call number you asked for] on the shelf are on the same topic" :)

a gift for eric, the fruit stand man on poem in your pocket day - 4/29/10

fruit stand                                                          

still-chill air

kisses visitors

from tropic climes

sun will grace

your face, just not yet

perhaps you ventured out too soon –

returned a week too early?

by noon, the air will no longer bite

but by then –

your too ripe,

too colorful

gems of summer

will be gone

                left with frost

                yet on their stems

Happy Poem In Your Pocket Day, Eric!

First warm day haiku

You can always tell
Those who leave their house before
Noon on days like this

Huh...

Unless my eyes deceive me, it will be the same temperature in Madison
as in Kahuku on Thursday!! :) (78 degrees, though I doubt it will
actually make that here...)

poem (1/24/10)

we entered

and left you in shadows

a land of light

clouded by night

fitting, that, denying us one last look,

you saved your memories, secrets,

for a time in the future

when light again graces your shores

sending us back into another

clouded land, white, with cold sand,

and shaded not by swaying palms

but by trees, stark now, without leaves

we remember your warmth and shiver

with the cold mid-western wind

Lyrical Facebook Status Updates...

Too tired to sleep, 
to lonely to dream - 
these are the things 
that all must seem 
but a trifle to all but me 
in truth, I simply long 
to see your face again, 
even through the rain, 
I'd run to your side 
and n'er leave again!

contemplating completeness

creating context
with caveat
I'm culling coherence
from inconsistency
contemplating completeness
while feeling incomplete
I'm coaxing comfort
from your laundered sheets
and finding calm
in other unlikely corners

At least the rain smells like spring...

... Even though it's 20 degrees too cold to be the last day of winter.
I hope warmer climes grace your travels, dear.

A few new poems

fog
you look like a blanket
please bring me the warmth i know you lack

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(haiku)

water suspended

     from too-low clouds in the sky

wrap me in springtime

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

a combining: leather, paper, and binding
you look like something i'd leave on the shelf
give me your unchanging freedom to stay

time

broken clocks
  still
    mark
      time

broken sections
  of
    our
      lives

each time
  i
    look

another
  day
    is

gone

card game

does ace trump all
when it's broken
and bleeding
torn asunder
on the sidewalk
waiting to be
street-
    swept
                away
