Gift of Light : a haiku trio

Gazillion photons

zip streaming wave particles

all dazzling to see

All quicker than thought

whose spectra my blind eyes dye

in colors of mind

Earth curtains open

as sister senses bring me

this world to body

Zen

Mind-less head-less be;

stay, my soul, in empty sea:

'I' nowhere to see

Monkey See

An Orangutan

sat pondering, his future to scan:

"Someday, I'll be Man"

Folly, thy name be Faustus

Mephistopheles

had bait for Faustus: Helen

would spread her(Oh) legs

Hirsute

Ardipithecus

had no need for garment use:

body hair was suit

Ardipithecus ramidus

Writing Poetry

Pick rough river stones

or those hidden in grass fields

and polish them smooth

Painting by Alan Magee

Cut to fit

My tailor is wise

who measures me everytime

for new suit new size
