Mercedem Pacis

Pax Romana gratia iam visa est

sed defectus virium ad secutum

utideo pax idem bello

eti mercedem exiget.


(id est defectus virtutis virilis viriumque)

P.S. This is the first original Latin poem I've created.

weather senryu

sunny days though cold

cheer one' soul, but dark

rainy days bring peace;

excess joy can harm the heart,

what harm can too much peace do?

wordplay poem

Preceding the process proceeds

amongst the

receding progressivist Congress.

καταστροφή : catastrophe is upsetting

Mother Earth is trembling

Many people are dying

Many of us are looting

Chaos abounding



"homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto."

Confused Perception

confused perception:

hot is what we call that mad

incandescent scene

proscenium of chaos

theatre of gruelty

stay all night / a little longer : old time fiddle tune

beauty all around/

fill the heart expand the mind/

loves beauty within/

come soon and often stay not/

go away yet soon come by//

anniversary of my late father's birthday

grey upon grey day

and the skeletons of trees

stand solemn silent:

mist no wind but still eye hear

moaning of traffic passing

wistful hasnot got it;

blimp sad-sack adrift:

seize power! indurate!

Divine Harmony

Dionysus the untrammeled

suffers with empty yearning

Apollo enjoys humane order

WANDERLUST

facing the reality of

where one dwells is

hard on adolescent:

arbeit macht frei

"Zeichen sind wir, bedeutingslos." - Hoelderlin

But

without vision

what

can we see of

the here and now;

only meaningless

signs?

Canada Goose Whiffling

OSI 01-03-10 paulum post

and my thought took wing

like a lark soaring; nay

rather, a goose whiffling.

What wings?

Some wings are never

ever seen by those

of shallow vision.

Haiku Boner 01-03-10

We saw the truly

electrifying

executioner!
