late at night
i lay lonely in my bed
my only companion
the memory of you

A Little Homework 01/25/11

Three pages of math,
A science report,
A P.E. project
On my favorite sport,
Two stories to read
in my my reading book,
And answer the questions
With no gobbledygook,
An essay to write
On overseas trade,
Homework got tough
Now that I'm in second grade.

haiku 01/24/11

sharp tang of wood smoke
drifting through nighttime's darkness--
i can't see its source

in the moon's pale glow
the ice covered tree limbs sway
shattering silence

senryu 01/18/11

alone in the house
every sound is magnified--
damn insomnia!

haiku 01/18/11

a moonless sky cries
cold tears streaking to the earth--
i'm drowned in sorrow

tableau 1/14/11

suspended a fingerwidth above
the roof of the dilapidated house next door
the brightly shining moon
slightly more than half full
sheds its gelid illumination
onto the frost covered grass
which smolders icily in response
a silent dialogue
phrased solely in frigidity
and myriad shades of silver white

01/13/11 free verse

the late afternoon sunlight
gushing into the empty classroom
the silence that never emerged
during the long day
has at long last arrived
for its moment in the spotlight

haiku 01/05/11

students cowboy up:
they struggle to corral words-
then boldly ride them

haiku 01/05/11

writing my future-
last year's a filled up journal
too late to revise
