Forest seclusion

early Fall morn ambience

awakened senses

#perspective #obvious #senryu #haiku

fought with countless words

politics’ opinion wars

never to be won

annoyed to enjoyed

criticizing the critics

a simple pleasure

Journey for proven

as circumstances mastered

disregard all else

All is connected

now abruptly realized

completing journey

Full of clarity

returning to beginning

empty and open

#USMC #Vietnamwar  #warpoets #tanka

 

shipboard reveille

all hands heave out and trice up

steak and egg breakfast

helicopter lifts off deck

perfect view land air and sea

copter touches down

high power rifle cracks air

jungle labyrinth

leaping out through turbulence

we are at calm in this storm

(BLT 3/5’s Marine Corps mood in 1966)

#tanka

as gulls dive and shriek

waves crash and melt on the shore

amid winds’ bluster

a walking meditation’s

energetic melody
