Must find new circles
To be within rather than
To circle around

Big Lift Ferry Poem F385
Getting out of jail –
Before your prisoner friends –
Is so bittersweet –
Especially when no one
Were guilty of anything

Airborne Poem A017
Relatively close –
To friends and relatives
But they do not know –
Flight transfer in Toronto –
And I didn’t let them know

You’d think nothing of
Most of some celebrated
Photographers’ pics –
If it were your friends who took
And posted them on Facebook

Big Lift Ferry Poem F175
Ferry rides with friends –
Yield talk, laughter and updates –
Ferry rides alone –
Yield peace, haiku, tanka and
Other poems for the world

Tanka T063
Can we just be friends?
I’ve lived without love so far –
I don’t need it now –
How I foresaw my response
To love offers in old age

Just because most of
My friends have no interest
In most things I do –
Doesn’t mean many others
In the world don’t care either

To more than one’s friends –

Looking at the line –
Where one’s too conservative
For us to be friends –
I’m in new territory –
If I’ll have to draw that line
