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
