Silver is...


Silver is noise
like a clattering cymbal
like an off-key singer
as discordant as a chorus of cats.

Perspiration


I'm drenched
Damp with the sweat
From working hard outside
Replanting bushes where they grow
Better

Timbuktu

Timbuktu
Ancient, exotic
Greeting, trading
African city

(I read an article in National Geographic about this city in Mali. It reminded me that my grandparents visited there while they were teaching in Ivory Coast.)

Shipwreck

shipwreck
algae-encrusted, rusty
decaying, decomposing, renewing, reusing
a thriving marine habitat
artificial reef

Purple is ...


Purple is Royalty
like kings and queens at court
like mountains majesty
as rich as crushed velvet.

Chocolate

Chocolate
My obsession
That thick brown warm delight
How I long to drink it all up
Right now!

Danger

Don't tell a porcupine
To rise and shine
Heed the danger sign!

Red

Red is passion
Life's blood of every endeavor
Like a coal burning into the night

Time


Time
Is always
The right gift


This is a combination hay (na) ku and found poem.  I wrote down ad words from a magazine and arranged them until I liked them.

My Band


My band doesn't need a drummer.
My band doesn't need a strummer.
My band just needs a hummer.

Indigo


Indigo is mystery
Like an ancient royal with a secret
Like a treasure forgotten in the ocean
As deep as the midnight sky

Dancing

That's what you've
Got to prove
It's time to move
Get in the groove.
