Moon poems

finished work in the fields
now is the season to gather love
    harvest moon
  
harvest your teachings
store your lessons
prepare for the winter
  
bountiful harvest
village feast
many pies
calm winter
  
moon
an ancient teacher who enlightens us
    can we remember his lessons?
  
wisdom in a mirror
teacher’s writings
    moon glows
  
moon reflects sun
    one illumination
love reflects life reflects love
    infinite illumination
  
moon robs colors
sun reveals colors but burns
    insight requires caution

Haiku

her heart was poetry  
but his muse had left him cold  
   blank sheet of paper

   
clear skies disappeared  
as the dark rain clouds rolled in  
   crow seeks clarity

   
i painted your lips  
but I could not draw it right  
   there is no birdsong

   
he exited home  
which became a house of tears  
   she built a high dam

   
you don’t believe me  
i declared my heart is yours  
   captcha proves my love
