sunny haiku...

A cactus necklace
wandering -
The geranium sleeps

The swan
the sun is in her eye -
Shadowworks

A light jazz
spiral -
Harmonicas teach it

Natalie Cole -
Lulls
in the cold blue water

Crow
traipsing -
I shall beckon the Muse

some of my haiku i found...

Some of my haiku I found around on yellow sheets of paper - -


for Anita O'Day...

Feathers
dancing -
The song is home


for Circus White...

She on the high wire
horses dancing bears & dogs -
She is home


East Quoddy sky
warbles blues & greens
grasses & light


In the rain
a thousand lanterns
streak my window


for Dizzy Gillespie...

Brushes
paint & ink -
Dizzy plays


Rod Stewart

over easy


thinking of Gauguin...

the flower sings the breeze
in Parisian French
in her hair

for bud powell...

The blue tree is not alone
In the valley
Of lions & bowls
Red velvet upholstered piano benches
&
Bud Powell

in the piano room 2...

In
The room at Chittenden Pond
The piano room
A leaf falls outside
On the breaking ice
A purple cross painted on a ceramic bowl
&
A church clock
The oil paintings boats from Vietnam
The square mirror by the French doors
In the piano room
- -
Oh!
Bobby Enriquez, baby!
Bobby Enriquez!
Oh!

van gogh songs awash...

Van Gogh songs awash
on the inside -
The beauty of it!

my van gogh self portrait in Crayola Markers cropped...

the music...

Sunlight & staircases
Blue windows
In the pines
Pianos & violins
& saxophones
&
Holly sings
Man I Love
Old microphone old Joe
Whistle
At the sea
At
The
Orange
Night
The ponds & the stars
& the gingerbread's colors brightest at dawn
The row doors & stoops
& the bandstand lighted
White lattice
On the green
No snow on the pond tonight
Just
It
- -
The breezes the tangerines & the music
- -
& Man I Love

& song tonight...

& song tonight
the pond is alive -
The pretty willows wild geese & blue cold water

deveber painting big...

the sloop, the muse sally sea...

Out
The Matisse open window
Boats
On a flower beach
On a flower sea
Sailing
To palm leaf Havana & her courtyards of paint
Oh!
The sloop, The Muse Sally Sea
Sails
In a tossing ocean against the current
Leaving the Philosophic & the Beautiful Landscapes
Rain & wind sun & moon
Buoys dint the hull walls
Fenders shield the bucking bow
& lyrics & jazz
& soul eyes go
To
Hear
Lester Young at Olivia's Patio Lounge
& visit
Clifford Brown's horn twice a week wherever it is
& on a low bench
Paintings & sketches are stacked pencils & brushes
A red pen & paper, some folded some crumpled
Pictures
&
Song
And on the bench too Matisse's book, Jazz
& black coffee black tea, breads & raspberry jam
The oil lamps rattle
&
Outside
All the easels fall over
She holds Van Gogh's letters tightly
- - a lovely storm
