free verse + haiku
(current event; end of day)
board room
the war accompanied
by a board for peace
called
by someone who took billions of dollars
from people
to fund itself
we need this magic
instant gold as if a spell
sun cast for day’s end

last place
vision shared
if I should get one more
to try
smallish place
but high with windows
please
then to set a circle out of chairs
lamps
here and there
so you may come to call
and
bring your friends
and we could talk of this or
that
of the word of God
in book and
in
the world
or what
to be praying for
when we have talked enough
on point
then
this intention
final chats
and
go
and I am at least a little pleased
that isolation goes
with some
condition for some company
while
on
that way
if no other closeness than the spirits
which should be close
enough
I know
though now I’d take more in the flesh as
any
might receive from
me
in this last
try
at home
though remember
but then one
or two
come by so we will sit
and
sip
and chat of
you know
anything

it’s a lovely day
gray if dull by promising
should the heart select
two enormous birds
predators of tan and brown
over the perished
nature doesn’t judge
often the quake or flood by
our instigation
amoral nature
save that flora and fauna
anywhere might weep
participation
nature allies death with life
relents the day’s night
creative life calls
work and play quotidian
sponsor something more
progress of haiku
no more than eased scenes required
nature bears wisdom
c l couch
a kind of progress beginning with looking outside (each should stand on its own as well)

God’s pretty
pretty
green
evergreen
bright light the right direction
angled
just so
for small delight
in loving appreciation
late winter
presaging spring

sun is over snow
like the paradox of doubt
with faith for healing

barely green out there
gray like an expectation

we may unwrap here
God gave warm winter day’s love

reading in by white
story that incarnadines
winter thriller day

(for some a kind of day off due to snow, i.e., snow day, taken with relief—off and it doesn’t look so bad, there should be rising temperatures; day for outside play or inside read)

from Japan a cherry gift
lark but heavy for command
rose George Washington
for his birthday on 22 February
