'Life's Rhythms' - 316 haiku, composed in the traditional pattern of three lines with 5-7-5 syllables, written from 2011-12; and
'Mind-spinning Rainbows' - 150 poems written since 2013.
Sample poem...
Dreamers
She lives among the dragons, stars and unicorns
The fairytale world born in her wildest dreams
Of childhood wandering on the darkest nights
Beneath the chill of the star-speckled moon
In the dark the dragons shine their fiery red
In the light the unicorn bows its silvery head
She dreams the dreams she yearns to live
Ascending the high, jagged mountain reaches
Descending the bleakest, deepest chasms
She rides the unicorn, outpacing green forests
Dead set distancing the thickset woods, screams
The day, the light, the shake of morning dew
Lifted on breezes the silent wails of the dreamer
Spinning on tiptoes across the surface of a lake
Never crack the mirrors in this lingering escape
Take the dreamer in one hand, bend to fate
Where she dances in a stream of starlit skies
Never wandering from the bending, stony path
In the dark the dragons shine their fiery red
In the light the unicorn bows its silvery head
Darkest eyes penetrate the watching innocence
Of the dreamer floating through the skies
Never falling, always flying, asleep, suspended
Travelling in this mystic world so shimmering
