Too much - too little

Too much wine
too much food
not enough self-discipline
too little water
too little fruit
I go on a French "regime".

Fifi

Je suis frustree
car mon ordi joli
n'aime pas corresponder
avec le petit wifi
de 2 g d'orange
et cela me donne
des complications
assez stupide - fifi.

Hjemme

En aabning i ens tidsforloeb
til en svunden sfaere
langt fra hvor jeg var baaren
udover viddenernes straekning

der har jeg hjemme

et sted hvor musikkkens gloed
spiller i maaneskin
aprikosens blodroede side
viser vejen - ad hvilken

jeg har hjemme der

at finde sin skaebne og
opdage at den var en anden
kan betyde to ting
et vejkryds eller en rundkoersel

jeg har der hjemme

une pensee a l'abri

Ici ce petit village
dans les grands nuages
aupres de la plage
sans trop de plumage
il me reste encore
un ete ou plus j'implore
la vie que j'adore
ou bien c'est fini.

A trip - a travail - complaint - no poem

Not a trip to Hawaii
that's for newly weds -
but a trip to Paris
from DC to Reykjavik
and then to Oslo finally
landing six hours later
than anticipated
I am completely dead!
All I had to do was wait
and grin and bear
that's tiring!

Azalea garden revisited

often on Mum's day
a request to revisit
Azalea gardens
a cornucopia - red and white
breath taking views
of nature's gift -
alas being outside
donates me a sniffle
or stronger -
the memory remains
forever in my mind's eye
- just needs a refresher
once in a while
- outside too.

May fever??

Sunday morning in May
sunshine
flowers blossoming
breezes
beautiful hay fevers
fairies
around the Maypole
exception
mayhap the dancing
waltzes
just over the haywire!

Morning frustrations

Crossword puzzle in the morning
sharpens your wit
if only I could get the clues
in just a little bit.
Most days are okay for the ups
often for the downs
but if it's a tv show or series
blank the unknowns.

gardening haiku

winter's vexation
on garden in a suburb
yard work is of verve

At kunne naar man skal

At kunne naar naturen kalder
er det vigttigste for en
ellers kan det jo vaere
at maven bliver en sten
eller endnu vaerre er det
at man kan eksplodere
ak, nu kan mit lille digt
kun saadan implodere.

Tanke paa Piet Hein

Describing an old clock

It runs around in place
counting the fates
it doesn't care where
it is at nine today
its people though
will be in time's woe
and they will swear
an hour less to decay.

Poetic license?

Zero in zero out
That's how we do it.
Sometimes your attention
is there but not here
and vice versa.

Attention getting
is not the same
as not getting
totally intense
heedfulness.

Again whether or
not I am concentrated
and giving this poem
my full reflection
the mind is elsewhere.

Haiku with a morale

fake promises shall
not entice you to a man
but gentleness will

Joel remembered

Aussie friend long gone
in April you stay always
in my soul - due to daffodils.

April sad haiku

dead roses in vase
in the corner of my room
must be thrown away

To Vlad

Hello President Putin
you shouldn't be shootin'
at the poor Ukrainians
with your shenanigans.
Show the world that
Russians are getting fat
from the money you spend
on them - like a friend.
No soldiers and weapons
and the usual aggression.
Attempt with the good
surprising the 'hood.
It has never been done -
stop firing the guns.

Doggie Easter sonnet

My dog lies on the parquet floor
she dreams about the clucking ducks
this morn walking out of the door
she wanted to hunt - ah oh schucks.
Her master would not let her run
and now she is ever so sad
a hunter - not a honey bun
born on the streets she was mossad.

Her days of leisure passes fast
once in a blue moon she wakes up
and mourns her freedom in her past
but since then food is in her cup -
though if she gets a chance at last
she hunts a bunny - for her sup'.

Am I?

Some are lucky
some are not
I am fortunate
in one sense
but I am
fuckingly frustrated.

Some are hot
some are not
I am happy
in one sense
but I am
mockingly messed up.

Some are with it
some are not
I am flourishing
in one sense
but I am
unluckily ungratified.

dog and bone

Doggie gets bone
bone gets eaten
dog defends bone
bone gets chewed
dog eats her bone
totally to a t.

Was ist ein Leben?

Leider gibt es keine Ubersetzung
eines Lebens - nur Fragen.
Wenn man sie beanwortet
findet man keine wirkliche Wahrheit
nur die Zeit wird schauen
dass viele Moglichkeiten gaben
und die Historiker mussen
zwischen alle den Ursachen suchen
and sie sind alle falsch oder richtig.
