I am abandoned
Dropped just like a bad habit
Really a sad thing
Lonely and forlorn, I weep
Longing for warmth and solace

I am abandoned
Dropped just like a bad habit
Really a sad thing
Lonely and forlorn, I weep
Longing for warmth and solace

Golden crust delight
Mozzarella’s tender melt
Joy in every bite
Time to loosen up your belt
This tasty pie is just right…

Forms dance in the dusk
Veils of mystery and peace
Silent stories told
Solely by shared movement
Embracing deepening night.

Soft caress of air
Whispers secrets of the world
Nature’s softest sigh
Standing still you can hear it
And share all of its wonder…

Voices of the past
Rippling through the canyon walls
Memories return
Nothing can damn their current
Flooding out in a torrent…

Ancient trees stand tall
Whispered tales of time and life
Green sanctuary
Older than all time itself
These green libraries stand tall…

Daylight bows to night,
Brushstrokes of purple and gold
Silence sings the stars
Brightness rises with the moon
Bathing the darkness in light…

Winding through the stones
Gentle secrets softly flow
Life’s pulse in each drop
Crisp icy waters flow by
Carrying some fallen leaves…

Wide fields kiss the sky
Daisies dance in warm sunlight
Nature’s quilt unfolds
Greeted by deafened silence
With only the wind speaking…

Write a quick haiku
Count syllables when your through
To that style stay true.
Now to create a tanka
Add two lines with seven beats.

Universal source
Where everything can exist
All at the same time.
Stars twinkle in the night sky,
Dreams dance on the soft, warm breeze.
-AAA/MAD

Colors blend and shine,
Nature hums a sweet soft tune,
Craftsmen shape their dreams.
Together, we find our place,
Art and life in every space.

Be the miracle,
Transform our broken planet,
Make change for the good.
Together we can heal,
Nature’s beauty will return.

Laughter cures all ills
Far better than those horse pills
Giggle climbing hills.
Joy shared with friends, we find peace,
Smiles bloom like flowers in spring.
-AAA/MAD

Close your eyes to dream
In vivid imagery
Of every color.
Whispers of the gentle breeze,
Hope blooms like a summer dawn.
