poem of the day May 31


For the
robin
to wear
the robes
of just
another
crow
It has
to be
headed
down
the center
road
that's
hidden
inside
the middle
of
everyone's
dream
lurking
like
silent
swimming
submarines

poem of the day May 30


Once again
all the
lonely
are
looking
for a friend
Someone
for the
very
end
Somewhere
near
the secret
zen
Hidden
in time
struggles
impossible
to imagine
without
gin
or a her
or a him
Until
the search
is over
for
finding
clover

poem of the day May 29


Seems
like
the one
who
throws
out
the first
pitch
never
plays
the game
Only
starts
the
delusion
for 
teams
armed
with
everyday
events
that
can
easily
turn
into
battles
of
war

poem of the day May 28


Cupid
was so
stupid
His arrow
too
shallow
to pierce
the thick
wall
vanity
of humanity
Where
only a
few
bolts
make
it
through
the outer 
skin
of sin
to the 
start
of the
hearts

poem of the day May 27


Yesterday
and
tomorrow
Never
to
meet
Except
on the
moon
hill
of
delusion
Somewhere
in
the
Confused
mind
of
past
future
past

poem of the day May 26


Wind
inside
the
karma
mountain
Must
be
like
volcanoes
Trying
to 
break
out
of the
Minds
of 
trapped
Souls

poem of the day May 25


Sweet eyes
in the
morning
Are
they
still
around
at night?
Sitting
by the
fire
in the
world
of
wrong
and 
right
Over
by the
rainbow
Where
the birds
begin
their
flight
Dreams
hold
the
answers
within 
the
maze of
Love
and
light

poem of the day May 24


I wonder
what
they are
serving
for dinner
Out
there
in the
Universe
on some
Earth
like
Planet
light
years
away
Maybe
some
fancy
Stew
made
of
tasty
creatures
we
can
only
imagine
Or 
perhaps
some
marinated
alien
steak
grilled
to perfection
Though
I will
never
taste
even
a bite
It
makes
my mouth
water
with the
anticipation
of all
mankind

poem of the day May 23


Some
people
throw 
away
everything
in the
quest
to be
zen
Including
those
memories
that
define
us
Others
keep
everything
from
the mundane
to the
insane
and
are
unable
to
describe
us
But
it is
a rare
bird
that is
able
to 
understand
Both 
worlds
are
Pearls
that 
refine
us

poem of the day May 22


Going
to see
the movie
Sullen Rage
with my
sister in-law
Hitch hiking
up the hill
Lost in
the wrong
classroom
Watching
three dreams
from the
1950’s
explode
the
sullen 
lives
of the
insane
Not being
able
to get
out of
the rage
of  the
mountain
machine
until
we were
able
to fly
above
it all

poem of the day May 21


It is
really
interesting
to look
at 
pictures
of lovely
weddings
Even
in
same
sex
marriage
there
is a
male
and a
female
energy
in every
union
Which
means
yin
and 
yang
is
alive
in
love
No
matter
what
body
comes
dancing
from
the well

poem of the day May 20


Master says
"Sometimes
the same
ingredients
mixed
in exactly
the same
way
can
turn
out
different
It all
depends
on the
magic
of
human
error"

poem of the day May 19


It was
a simple
world
when
life
revolved
around
a flat
screen
All
one
had
to
worry
about
was
running
out of
internet
and
having
to go
back
to
being
human
But
when
the
world
becomes
a round
screen
one will
be trapped
inside
a mindless
mind
not of
their
own
making

poem of the day May 18


The
ancient
Poet's Seat
atop
the old
worn
Mountain
still
looked
out
over
the
long
winding
valley
that
stretched 
on for
generations
All
that
had
changed
were
the
words
to
describe
it

poem of the day May 17


The dogs
are at
it
again
Looking
so
innocent
Neither
fessing
up
Both
hanging
tough
Trying
to blame
the
cat
No gods
around
when
you 
need
them
So
I am
left
To clean
up the
mess

poem of the day May 16


Back 
to the
beginning
Standing
with
the
traveling
stars
Aligned
after
the
long
cycle
Over
the
river
Down
the path
To where
the meadow
grass
opens
over
the same
clover
rhyme
The only
thing
different
is the
mark
of
bodily
time

poem of the day May 15


To be
engulfed
in a
sea of
humanity
is like
a current
of insanity
trying
to flow
though
doors
of
life
that
race
in all
kinds
of
directions
creating
the
rapids
one
has
to flow
in

poem of the day May 14


The lone
red
flower
on a
sea of
green
enhances
the beauty
of the
old
potted
house
plant
enjoying
its
inside
spring

poem of the day May 13


"Perhaps"
is one
of those
words
in the
world
of vague
that
can
mislead
with
the
best
of
them
Especially
those
wishing
for
hope

poem of the day May 12


The sound
of the
birds
bring
the
silent night
to an
end
Burying
yesterday’s
reflection
in those
sleepless
souls
and
early
risers
up before
the
light
of dawn

poem of the day May 11


Hard 
to
find
dreams
sometimes
hide
in plain
site
Covered
by the
snores
of the
sleeping
Unable
to shout
“I am
here!
I am
here!”
Until
it is
too
late

poem of the day May 10


Normal
circumstances
become
extraordinary
events
when
remembered
over a
lifetime
in the
stories
that
come
to define
us

poem of the day May 9


Daffodils
along the
highway
Green grass
in the field
Maples are
exploding
I think
the spring
is real
But
Still
I haven't
shed
the skin
of
winter's
waning
grip
In case
the cold
slips
back
again
to slap
me 
in the 
face

poem of the day May 8


She had
her many
lovers
scattered
in the wind
Bubbling up
like
memories
from the
hidden
well within
Most she
had
forgotten
A few
still were
friends
But the
one she
wanted
most of all
She could
not have
again

poem of the day May 7


I wonder
what
Dogs
would
collect
if they
were
Gods?
I wonder
what
Gods
would
collect
if they
were
Dogs?
But
mostly
I wonder
who
would
have
the
better
collection?

poem of the day May 6


Watching
the
march
of
memories
unfold
Step
by
step
Along
the 
waking
walk
Somewhere
on
the
familiar
path
Near
the
other
footstep
The one
that
points
the
way
toward
the
light

poem of the day May 5


The human
phenomenon
abstracts
within
a perfect
nature
So much
like
the flea
on a
wild
dog
Content
to bite
as it
goes
along
for
the
immortal
ride
