My Daily Poem Jan 14, 2004

little things left outside life circles

turn out to be the cakes

on this haiku table.

my mind darts from one angle

to the other seeking the exquisite dish

and lines to reward the gem of each moment.

the birds which sing all these years

in my garden are meditation

points and special mediums peeping

into future.

the rainbow at the waterfall

which glorifies her tresses

a mini-waterfall sweeping into a cleavage;

the frogs on the lily pads

models for novice monks

trying out zero thoughts.

give me a pen and a pad

and i will squeeze the whole world

into my three liners.
