subdued rain blowing
whispers through the topmost leaves,
trickles down to earth

    "subdued rain" evoked a memory for John Frary:

    "One evening I stood beneath a plum tree for shelter during a soft summer rain.
    A rare zenith moon was overhead, and for a moment, after the rain stopped,
    the corpulent raindrops were still clinging to the leaves and branches.
    Suddenly the moonlight broke through and transformed the droplets into
    brightly glowing crystals of light.

    "I think there is a haiku here."
                                                            --     John Frary, June 2000
 

 
daughters of moonlight,
a chorus on the plum tree -
reflecting silence

I think I should write,
sharing my thoughts with the world -
circling through cold space

This poem is about an ego inflation, which is then perspectively deflated.

my weird existence
defies rational explanation -
other windows serve

My Internet Gang

my internet gang -
we're an eclectic bunch

we run with the wolves
and the mastodons,
the woolly mammoth
and the griffin

we also smell flowers
and taste sweet nectars
we see bird soar
and the butterfly

a part of us is artist
and  a chef and a poet
a part of us is a young heart
in an old soul

often we dream of dragons
or of elves or of waking
and paint pictures too,
sometimes with words

one of us is an alien,
stranger to a lost world -
we ask among ourselves
to discover the one
