Writing poetry –
In a different English –
Than I had been taught –
One not acceptable for
Anything except poetry

Running Poem R094
Charging into gale –
Slowing and rising ’til stopped –
Floating for minutes –
In equilibrium with
Jet stream until blown away

On days when big clouds
Are flying by in the sky –
I feel the world turn –
Forward or backward depends
On the day and way I look

Love, fear, universe –
Happiness, sadness, friendship –
Imagination –
What are some words worth at least
A thousand pictures to you?

Harbourwalk Poem W408
What’s the opposite –
Of the term “vanishing point”?
An “appearing point”?
Or maybe a “Jesus” point?
Or how’s about a “Rome” point?

Harbourwalk Poem W407
Lights in the distance –
Reflected on water makes
A vanishing point –
Where the viewer sits to make
That point an “appearing” point

Harbourwalk Poem W400
How many can make –
Instagram posts with no Likes –
In this day and age?
Even bots don’t Like my posts –
That is a rare skill I have!

Sometimes feel insane –
In a way that’s socially
Unacceptable –
I have my life together –
Which makes me acceptable

Hope they will keep the
Sea Bridge open long enough
For me to want to –
Do these Harbourwalk strolls –
To reach five hundred poems

Why is there no death
Statistics category
For dying in peace?
Same with death from natural
Causes that surely happens!

Harbourwalk Poem W393
Is it easier –
Maybe more interesting –
Or funner to be –
A sculptor who takes away –
Or sculptor who adds to build?
