Today

how dare you flame me
i'm not a dirty old man
i'm just middle aged

eighteen is okay
taste is very personal
she might like antiques

got in far enough
stir my emotions about
now.. sappy girl song

volunteered spirit
all-embracing perspective
future survival

Little face crowded
lovley people

A twilight repose
Crepuscular emissions
Awoke encrusted

i'm sticking with ash
make no excuses here
a muse meant in fun

The sunset looked nice
Could it be from the fallout
From last week's big test?

Send eighteen year old
Oh Ash, can

Costly attributes
Playing the field loses friends
Find one stick to them

ash amuses me
seasons aside hot or cold
spicing up my life

keep your diseases
you can send me your daughter
for summer muse meant

It rips past my ears
Bullet with some ones name on
Thank gods it

Widower, alone
An eighteen-year-old daughter
Bringing up on my own

Shade the Sky blue
The Earth brown, Green, red, yellow
This Rainbow, my home

I

not in the running
i'm a bit quiet lately
whilst i catch my breath

IP. Mil
How easily you are traced
You

There are many hopes
Lay hidden within my text
Expressions of life

What is it you want?
Me to express your desires?
Or show off your skill?

I remain untouched
So please be gentle with me
Tease me, entice me

Ah, stupidity
A cross-cultural phenom
Shared across borders

Night beings exist
Getting dark in Alaska
Soon he will be out

Copper colored fence
Neighbors and me know our place
Hemmed in by boundaries

The oneness of Love
Found only in bed or dance
Expression, passion

Effluence of words
No substitute for talent
So self evident

Bored we ignore him
We talk instead, of talent
Lacking in this one

the intense tug of
mankind's social nature, games
some wish to opt out

The Ash of a fire
The reminder of the heat
That can re-combust

I have been searching
Elusive self-expression
Found it, Irena!

A dance instructor
Who communicates through dance
I now understand

Danced Tango last night
The first time I understood
The reality
*
Interpretation
The dance is self-expression
Movement with music
*
Partner responsive
Like driving a Ferrari
At last I

the news is all bad
our parents are much too old
and then it's our turn

I have a cold .. @$#%
nothing will stop me!! SHE-RAH
blood cells activate !!

six syllables in
the last fortune cookie thought
longs for msg?

I'm too well preseved
to want all the chinese but
could use egg roll

u say bushido?
well i must say right back son
gazundheit! tissue time :)

he goes thoroughfare
somehow the manner; what mode
from pillar to post

the old games we used
to play as kids turned into
toys for nostalgia

manifestos wave
on the tide of ideas past
present, future cast

crash on the shore and
wash away the sands of man
and go back to sea

fix a date, friend death
for our dancing finale
a paso doble

She squeals with delight
Emotional roller coaster
That is X factor

Enough excuses
Ash get your arse into gear
Write something and quick

You blow hot and cold
Woman is a mystery
Complex but lovely
*
You give us signals
Conflicting and exciting
Then you turn us down
*
Have we cocked up?
Alternatively perverse?
We on the right track?

It

Fine thoughtful Haiku

reflection our god
lay blame on your creator
acknowledgement . start

youre' an adult kid
man's messes are left behind
how shall this be cleansed?

too much concrete here
mother nature will soon spew
the balance is upset

you're buying a new home
while woodstone street is vacant
new material shines

laws of nature are
unpredictable and true
we're a selfish race

i do not have high
expectations for mankind
our future looks bleak

take a good look and
i'll show you a world where God's
asleep on the job

going bald and grey
don't want to age gracefully
just don't want to age

the efusion ebb
one's bread upon the waters
makes pearls beofre swine
