I am pleased to say
that those who have passed my way
grew into haiku
Green leaves touch their toes
as the wind blows these trees' clothes
and they brush their hair
I wonder what birds
think of our music-less
plain and awkward speech
"Look, a pretty bird."
The young boy sees and chases
Mother keeps walking
Talk and talk and talk
It would serve us well to pause
Breathe, listen, and be
Before going back
I photograph the moment
safely in my soul
I can't stay here now
but can visit any time
If i remember
There is only G-d
I think, breathing in and out
There is only G-d
The first poet? G-d
The first poem? Creation
And then man followed
Writing poetry
can make you late or on time
It's all point of view
