lonely empty bench
anticipating bright days
we will meet again

waiting on godot
where is estragon?
he should've been here by now
how lonely this feels...

the muddled footprints
lead both to and away from
the now lonely bench

a bench in the snow
inviting me to rest, oh
guess i'll sit awhile and go

silently we wait
frigid loneliness
frozen in place awaiting
warmth from another

waiting for a friend
in the middle of the night
still hoping he comes

leafless old tree stands
guard over an empty bench
both waiting for spring

remembrance
they met on a bench
in the park, mom and pop -
the bench, it's still there...
yulan san

remember me
when i am gone
look for the bench with our name
and linger a while

an end to isolation
the bench looks lonely
yet there are footprints nearby
soon, someone will sit
marilyn

sit with me
snow's beauty and hush
reverence of branch and bench
come - sit and be still

maybe you shouldn't
wet bottom - wet feet
if you sit upon me here
better keep moving
ruth macintosh

lighted bench
quiet night alone
peaceful memories abound
childhood memories!

fast forward
to the empty bench
family feet come - then go
how they loved the park

no room at the inn
holy family
huddled with cast off items

icarus’s triumph
looking at the sun
a sun that he alone sees
its glow - a magnet 🦊❤️
In honor of Jim Blandford’s accomplishment of running/hiking 1,000,000 feet of vertical gain this calendar year so far. That’s @ 34 Mt. Everests.

heron a’la hockney
like a jump jet - up
spreading those big lanky wings
just two flaps - it’s gone 🦊❤️

dan and yulan thursday
“vanity”
the moon admiring
its reflection in the stream
fish pause - they look too 🦊❤️
(dan’s haiku)

“just imagine”
no hell - no heaven
just darkness and daylight
trading places

what’s really out there?
just imagining
looking deeply into space
and seeing lanterns 🦊❤️
shooting fish in a barrel
urgent - the globe warms
don’t have kids and shoot the deer
oh... such sitting ducks 🦊❤️
when it rains it pours
streets and three dog bowls
filled with the night’s heavy rain
sunny day ahead 🦊❤️
metrics
my tape measure mind
a tailor sizing me up
never enough thread 🦊❤️
I’m alway measuring this, that and especially myself. It’s not over achievement - it’s over doing. Quick analysis - my calculation that there’s not enough me. Always measuring....
