Imagination
dachshund
what breed of dog do I think I would be
if everything changed and I were not me
a shepherd, a collie, of maybe a pug
I hope not ’cause they look like they just ate a bug
maybe a labrador, or an afghan
but never a bloodhound or a newfoundland
I guess I would be a small red dachshund
for I too am compact, built close to the ground

Frozen Expression
Ancestors glare at me from
behind glass
faces frozen in unnaturally
grim expressions
even babies and dogs
dare not move as
the tramp photographer
sets off the flash that
captures their image
for future generations
to wonder over

Collaboration for Peace
Mish and I have been working on a project we would like to call “Collaboration for Peace”. Here is our second creation, combining her photos with my haiku. We hope to spread peace and hope throughout this community of poets.
Who is Mish? You can find her at mishunderstood. We are both members of Artista4Peace.

Ripples
Swan Lake by Derek Finch
How can I reach you
teach you, touch you
You cannot hear me
are not near me,
gone away
You do not see me
believe in me,
trust my words
If I could fly, I would
And so
I will toss my love
into the air
let it’s ripples
find you, bind you
to me

Just Pause
Just pause
Take a breath
The year has just begun
Savor the moment
Don’t rush headlong
Into tomorrow
Just pause
Collect your thoughts
The year has just begun
Clear your mind
Find the good
Toss the rest
Just pause
Take a breath
The year has just begun

desire for spring
even the blossoms
long for the warmth of spring
curled inside small buds

Persnickety
She is so persnickety
smoothing my feathers
matching her dress
to the hue of me
showing me off to
her friends and
strutting like a
peacock as I perform
but I know her secrets
and when I learn the
words
I will tell
