To honor spring

Upturned face to sky
Soaking in the April sun
Warming rays of peace

Walking in the park
Rivulets of melted snow
Streaming down the hill

Life gladly returns
To the slowly melting land
Chattering of birds

Long frozen body
Thawing in the warming sun
Returning to life

Workplace haikus


Yet another change
Be still my tired heart and brain
Smile grin and bear it.

Old adage says keep
Friends close enemies closer
Good advice for now.

Another meeting
Lots of chiefs few indians
Too many leaders.

Thinking back to when
Free speech and thought were valued
Not controlled by prigs.

Administrators
Abound about me rabbits
Multiplying fast.

Future vision goals
Carousel of illusions
How to create them?
