Staying Near The Water

'Staying near the Water' is back to the basics. Simple from the gut writings about the common. Love, the fear of love, water's dire cry help, and much more are approached in 'Staying Near the Water'.
Mikayla (Pleasant Shade, Tennessee post office)
Sensibilities of society
Up Saturday dawning
When men feel most sorry
A woman is busy
Not waiting, but simply...
Most beautiful I've seen all morning.
En route peeked grass and trees,
On the forest floor there was a leaf.
None of these stopped
What they were doing to look at me.
Parcel-not even ready,
A hurried spring bloom
Mikayla accepted patiently.
The 'Staying Near The Water' collection is great for exercising your reading muscle. With brief and succinct poems and elegies. Become familiar with and practice creating in the beautiful tradition of tanka 5-7-5-7-7 and haiku 5-7-5 syllable rhythms.

need food though evil
caged hater and raged neighbor
fussy stomach's brains
dear dental's health in peril
sly heart goads me more junk please
