Sometimes I'm awkward
about my being awkward
and that's just awkward

You energize me
and yes, I do mean you ... if
you are poetry

A sanctuary
is what a shul's meant to be:
holy, safe haven

The year is a ride
You start at Rosh HaShannah
Later, you end there

890 (I Think... Haven't Numbered Since 855)

There is nothing like
Facebook comments from dead friends
to sober me up

Sometimes I feel I'm
A million miles away
Exploding with hope

Honor is respect 

Whether we get it or not

Steam Haiku

We all build up steam
Stored emotional tension
Mist under our skin

Like that great engine
We need to harness our steam
Elevate hot air

----------------------------------------

When I was a boy
a woman from our shul died
after the steam room

--------------------------------------

Extroverts gain steam
from being around others
Introverts run out

Forget Haiku

Not free to forget
I don't choose to remember
There's just no choice

--------------------

Forget our old sins
Remember your great mercy
Be kind to us, please.

--------------------

The pen beats the sword
they say, but forget to add-
the pen must be sharp

--------------------

"Inadvertantly"
people tend to neglect things
and say they forget
