poems printed in black
help bring written words to life
for those with weak eyes

scattered syllables

birds

birds of a feather
do flock together at times
jail birds excepted
~~~
dry run

how do we run dry
just as fresh water and growth
start flowing through
~~~
counsel

poets counsel self
putting together the ones
instructing another
~~~
two sides

popular side safe
keeps friends and foes in circle
controversy fun
~~~
renewal

when it looks as if
we have seen and heard it all
new poems come our way
~~~
do they

do haiku poems
do half what they do for me
doing what friends need
~~~
