NEVER MOOR
Dank and dark the moonlit night
misty, murky on the moors
Carefully, cautiously I travel
down and deep into the moors
Muggy moisture sticks my clothing
sticks my skin upon my bone
The moor envelops every breath
envelops me, myself, my own
Sloshing, sinking...feet that
falter
falter, trembling to the core
Stay myself...now satisfied
again to travel here no more
Come again it calls me still
come again into the moor
"Not a chance!" I cry out loudly
and quote that Raven...
"NEVER MORE"
A COUPLE HAIKUS PERHAPS
Look at what I've found
If your heart perceives it too
double the pleasure
Don't look too closely
reflections reveal the truth
inspite of all ploys

JAEL'S TENT
[Judges chapter 4]
When looking for refuge
or a safe place to stay...
Don't go to Jael's tent
tho it's right on your way.
Cause she's got a hammer
and tent pegs to spare...
some warm milk and blankies
to show that she cares.
So then as you slumber,
all safe and serene...
She will busy herself
with an impromptu type scheme.
She'll drive that spare tent peg
right into your head
She'll hammer it through
until you are dead.
And then she'll bring others
to look at that stake...
And she'll tell how you died
of a splitting-head ache.
Synopsis: Jael's tent.....don't go there!

. . .
Only three dots...
that's the rule of thumb...
no more than three dots...
Is this really all they can afford me for the crumbling effect of...
waiting...
and falling...
and waiting...
and falling...
and waiting...
and falling...
Only three repetitions, please...
use only three similies...
only three metaphores...
But I'm still waiting...
still waiting...
waiting...
God give me patience...
and give it to me now...
Point of order...
Avoid cliches like the plague...
Right...
Pass the dots please...
thank you...

That's a'mores
The mores of our time desturb me
Why have they taken such a turn
Why have they sunken to this low
I feel its only to perturb me

MORE HAIKUS ANYONE?
There's a way across
that eyesight may not perceive
Step out first in faith
------------------
Some take the straight road
Some wonder thru the green fields
Life assails us all.
-------------------
The surface can't tell
what lies lie beneath itself
can you perceive it?
-------------------
Sunlight, son of light
set our compass, set our life
Guide your children home.
-------------------
Full moon over anything
the stuff that rhymes are made of
you always inspire
-------------------
Perfectly placid
and peaceful is our life's dream
"Get real" duty calls.
-------------------
The end of my rope
anchored alone with my thoughts
Still, with you there is hope
