Five Minute Poem #12

Jazz as breath
In and out
Yes

But sideways
And other ways
Unknown until
Played

Not scripted but
Not random

In rhythm and time
And time again
When just off the beat
Is right on

Comfortably unknown
In a familiar sort of way

And ways to see
And ways to feel
Anew and Askew

Five Minute Poem #9

Happenstance places
   Disparate forces in proximity
   To Each Other

Often
   Only for lost moments

Yet sometimes
   On courses of lost
   Eternities

The beginning
   Unknown

Only twisting
   Now in fantastic swirls
Then in writhing tangles

This knot
   
   Holding

      Holding
 
         Holding on

Five Minute Poem #4

The news is always nonchalant

Weather on the plains
Weather on the coast
Weather on the battle field

Stock futures up
Stock futures down
Rockets up
Rockets down

The dog was lost yesterday
And the peace was lost
Last week
Both were found dead
With service information to follow

Human interest
So bland
Disinterested

Tomorrow's weather forecast:

Sorrow
