Recognition (Haiku)

Seek recognition
For what you are now doing
Not for what you've done

Shakespeare (Haiku)

Midsummer's Night Dream
The stakes are high, life and death
All must be resolved

Fairy king and queen
And six rude mechanicals
One mischievous imp

I love her, no her
They both love me how could they
I don't believe this

The imp strikes low blows
Oberon must save them all
Even the ass' head

Then Duke marries Queen
As do the pairs of lovers
They live happily

The Night is over
We awaken from our dream
Fall is upon us

Life Goes On (Haiku)

Boots astride a horse
Black, shined and  worn so proudly
Over jumps and course

Now stride on the stage
Costume for a Shakespeare play
Still worn so proudly

A market, a hat
In Badgastein Austria
Nineteen eighty-four

A bar and a hat
Short film entitled Last Call
Two thousand eighteen

Our accouterments
Go with us as props through life
Getting new meanings

As it is in life
Unforeseen opportunities
Bring out tried and true
