poem of the day Dec 30


If there
was
a tree
that
stood
all alone
on top
of a
hill
that
ruined
your
view
Would
you
cut
down
the
tree
to
see
the
sea
That
really
would 
be
your
last
point
to
view

poem of the day Dec 29


The waves
of
twilight
allow
those
brave
enough
to swim
in
shark
infested
waters
a glimpse
of what
is
possible
when
one
stops
chasing
the
same
old
wave
of
familiar
fear

poem of the day Dec 28


What makes
the end
of the
road
so
inviting?
Perhaps
an
old
temple
Somewhere
in the
woods
full of
peeper
frogs
that
only sing
backward
facing
truths
that
one
can
mistake
as
their
true
Karma

poem of the day Dec 27


There
were
so
many
great
rocks
on the
Waipio
Valley
floor
that it
made a
Suiseki
Master
Wonder
If it
was
just
the work
of the
sea
Or a
combination
of
tsunamis
and
Gods
who
look
after
things
in the
valley
of the
Hawaiian
Kings

poem of the day Dec 26


The
color-man
was
armed
with
rainbows
as he sat
on the
cliff
over
looking
time
His first
thought
was
the blue
expanse
that
rolled
out
to meet
the
horizon
There
he placed
an orange
ball
that
dangled
over
the sky
of no clouds
just
in time
to wake
the black
and
white
dreamers

poem of the day Dec 25


Dawn
creeps
down
after a
magic
night
A couple
of smiles
fuel
the
light
Eight
white
birds
on an
ocean
breeze
The eyes
of a
child
as he
sees
the tree
The cookies
are
eaten
The presents
wait
Merry
Christmas
to all
from
the Aloha
state

poem of the day Dec 24


The big
ship
stood
out
on the
water
like
an
overgrown
boy
lost
in
a tub
full
of
sea
toys
Jumping
dolphins
Singing
whales
All on
a horizon
of
Christmas
Clouds
Waiting
for 
the sun
to
light
the way

poem of the day Dec 23


It was
only
a matter
of time
after
energy
saving
night
vision
goggles
became
the
law
that
small
fashion
Designers
started
new
night
dress
lines
to look
good
when
out and
about
in
midnight
glasses
The idea
was
brilliant
and
soon
Night
Vision
Fashion
was
Sweeping
The country
so much
so 
that
everyone
was
spending
most of
the day
thinking
about 
what to
wear
to look
good
at 
night

poem of the day Dec 22


Walking
on the
volcano
with
cool
shoes
and a
Hawaiian
shirt
won’t
help
me
flirt
in the
ring
of
fire
Too
close
to lava
for my
desire

poem of the day Dec 21


Light
on
water
Clouds
on
water
Waves
on
water
Mixing
Twisting
Riding
the
dawn
Again
and
again
Serving
up
another
sunrise
refrain
for the
early
rising
jane

poem of the day Dec 20


On the
edge
of the
big
pool
lies a
Deep
bottom
paradise
full of
open
Sea Stories
like
The lonely
moray
who
Waits
by her
lava
cave
in search
of  true
love
Or the
restless
need of
the
Needle fish
to saw
their way
Into dark
shadows
Where
the Parrot fish
are
forced to
chew
rare
corral
to keep
from
laughing

poem of the day Dec 19


Master says
"Row, row
row your
boat
gently 
down the
stream
Ha Ha
fooled
you
I'm a
submarine"

poem of the day Dec 18


The clouds
appeared
as
sailing
ships
on the
horizon
The approaching
light
acting
like
bright
laser 
windmills
illuminating
the backs
of the
clouds
Propelling
them
forward
as they
usher
the sun
into
a new day
somewhere
over the
Pacific

poem of the day Dec 17


The
horse
gallops
down
the
highway
Ahead
of its
own
directions
Sometimes
The horse
gets
lucky
Sometimes
the horse
does not

poem of the day Dec 16


There is
No time
better
then
this time
to get
the best
deal
of all
time
Just in
time
for
the best
time
to get
the
best
deal
of all
time
Is this
a broken
record
or just
capitalism
working
overtime
to make
sure
you
get
the best
deal
of
all
time
at any
time
for
all
time

poem of the day Dec 14


The snow
cloud
worked 
its 
way
slowly
up the
valley
Appearing 
as an 
undulating
Dragon
Spiting
white
magic
powder
on the
Pines
below

poem of the day Dec 13


They
were
headed
to the
Moon
for
the
holidays
First
trip
on a
Spaceship
Everyone
was
excited
to taste
that
famous
Moon
Cheese
Maybe
to do
a little
moon
dancing
Perhaps
rub
elbows
with
the
Big
Moon
Man
himself
But
most
of all
They
were
hoping
to find
love in
a four
rayed
Moon
Beam
that
can 
only 
be
found
once
in a
Blue
Moon

poem of the day Dec 12


The
solitary
turkey
crossing
the
snowy
road
reminded
me
of
all the
wild
dangers
of
surviving
a long
cold 
winter
Dangers
that
make
the
cat
and mouse
game
going
on
inside
the
house
Child’s
play

poem of the day Dec 11


I dreamed
I was
sitting
in a
lesbian bar
with
my old
buddy
Barbie
who
used
to be
Bart Star
She
was with
her new
friend
Big Little Sue
They 
had
dressed
me in
drag
so I
could be
there
too
It was
lively
and fun
We
drank
lots of
wine
Then
the
Band
started
playing
with
everyone’s
mind
Soon
I was
kissing
Barbie
while
holding
Sue’s
hand
in a
lesbian bar
I was
kissing
a girl
that
once
been
a man

poem of the day Dec 10


If you
always
seem
to be
stuck
in the
same
old
dress
Going
back
to
the
same
old
dance
Maybe
it is
time
to
stop
looking
in the
rear view
mirror
Put on
some
new
shoes
and
Keep
your
eyes
focused
next
time
you
approach
that
same
old
fork
in
the
road
