Poem: I Thought Wrong
I thought you’d eventually give it up.
I never said I would.
I thought you’d move past it or through it
I never said I could.
Poem: What is War …a Haiku
War is wanting more
Forgetting blessings gives us
Excuses to kill
Poem: Stripes
What happened?
Did your mask slip?
Now your stripes
And the road stripes
Are all mixed
Blood spill
Roadkill
I whizzed on by
I didn’t stop then
But it’s not forgotten
I said a small prayer
I frowned a small frown
Raccoon down
Poem: I See Love
You see violence
I see love broken
You hear silence
I hear love unspoken
You see a world failing
I see a world ailing
It’s not falling apart
It’s just a big broken heart
Below and above
So near, my dear, right here
When I look around
I see a gap and love can fill it
I see a wound but love can heal it
And when I look at you
I see love

About the poem:
The best thing about this photo is that when I saw it, I pointed it out two 12-year-old boys who were impressed. How did you ever see that? How did you notice?, they asked.
I dunno! I’m an admirer of clouds. And everywhere I look, I see love!

Poem: Oh frogs, where do you go?
It has been fun to be able to give photos with handwritten poems on the back as going away gifts, as I’m saying my goodbyes here in Korea.
It’s been a nice way, too, to remember the many beautiful moments I’ve had here. Such as listening to the frog chorus… gae-gool-i-gae-gool-i-gae-gool-i!

Poem: Dolphin Message
I saw the dolphins today
We stopped and watched
Mesmerized by their way
“You’re missing the point,”
I think I heard them say.
Then crystal clear,
“Life is play!”
“Please explain!” I begged
They shook their heads
And laughing
Swam away
