Creating an Outlet (Pantoum)
Away with these dark memories
let light cleanse the passage
with pen in hand I go forth
from the center of the haze
Let light cleanse the passage
with each careful mark I make
from the center of the haze
as I take on this tedious trip
With each careful mark I make
thoughts are left behind in the void
as I take on this tedious trip
the light starts to fade
Thoughts are left behind in the void
with pen in hand I go forth
the light starts to fade--
away with these dark memories

Imagine (Acrostic)
I found a way to fly
Move from ground to sky
Above the clouds so high
Growing small to the nakit eye
Invisible as I wave good-bye
No one needs to see you try
Even you could learn to fly--

Springtime In New York (Tanka)
Snow falling sideways
Ice bars outside my window
Wind bitterly cries
As winter mocks springs first day
Here in the Catskill mountains

Haiku
quite unexpected
tear drop pearls hanging from trees
frozen springtime rain
