Haiku and Tonka Poems:
    The caps in my pants
    They're precious little diamonds
    Waiting to be picked

    The walls are free
    Freedom to experiment
    Therefore I am free

    The night fog rolls in
    The metal giants weep with rust
    Meditative high

    Petals fall in hand
    The noon dew and vibrant red
    Burns a hole through heart

    Look down to see sky
    Reflections of light through pond
    The rippling clouds

    Graffiti's last stand
    The semi-wildstyle burners
    The ultimate font

    A dog trailing behind
    Making love on a hilltop
    Under the Cresent moon

    The bar has structure
    Support replaces envy
    The local scene wins

    Cold and icy fall
    The village people make love
    Under the lazy sun

    Paint and inspire
    The law has no place in art
    God sprays through our tips

    Dews on a branch
    Natures tears rolls off the limbs
    While the flowers drink

    The cold winter tree
    Sun beaming radiantly
    The leaves are missing

    The stream flowing upward
    Like leaves back onto the branch
    I feel young again

    Found solace in the shade
    The lizard changes colors
    Under the tree, we sat

    The wall has found me
    Through painting I find myself
    Then the others look for us

    Five birds flying low
    Swiftly through the morning fog
    Behind the trees they sing

    Poverty Stricken
    They see me not when I pass
    Spare some change brother?

    The urban street lamps
    Our dark sun giving us light
    All up in my biz

    Death becomes her soon
    The Cadmium Blue waiting room
    The cold reaches in
    -or-
    Death becomes her son
    The Cadmium Blue flying room
    The cold soul grabs her

    Form follows function
    Old Chinese calligraphy
    Loose and Lawlessness

    Hot spring day with breeze
    Flower shop owned by two brothers
    Eating hamburgers

    Morning fog rolling
    Atop of houses peeking through
    Childhood memories

    Thirsty with cusps hands
    I sip from the cold stream
    Refreshingly whole

    The cherry blossoms
    Swaying against the warm breeze
    Red against White making Pink

    Man smiles next to women
    A Hippy and a Chinese girl
    He asks for paper

    Sandy morning eyes
    Pouring milk into a bowl
    Eating cereal

    The shadows moving
    Across the shinny wooden floor
    Warming up the room

    The Monk drawing caps
    Fantastic mystic letters
    The kids who paint walls

    Amazing children
    Creating an art culture
    Risking their lives

    Colors and patterns
    Twisting, interconnecting bars
    Urban folk art

    Rushing cold morning
    My big orange cat purring
    Sleeping next to me

    My cat has wild stripes
    Curled up like an orange shrimp
    Crooked tail and all

    Waiting forever
    the 5 kittens have been born
    and they're all orange!

    On it's back, stretched out
    My cat near the window sil
    Big orange and glowing

    Freezing winter nights
    The cat rests near the heater
    While I freeze to death

    Freezing in my room
    4 sheets with clothes on my head
    Called PG&E

    The cold winds blowing
    Glass walls on the corner room
    Freezing winter nights

    Warm, fresh and tender
    Millions of kisses to come
    My sweet young flower

    For a star, a kiss
    Being a far, missing you
    Hold my pillows close

    Early mid afternoon
    the weather was cold then hot
    My favorite kind

    Walking till tired
    Sleeping under the redwood Tree
    Picked fruits on the way

    Riding train to work
    Getting long stares from people
    My boss picks me up

Tanka Poems

    the ice cold morning
    laying in my satin sheets
    holding my lover
    making love to her again
    wising it was you instead

    lazy warm summer
    The yellowish ocher dusk
    no wind on my back
    the hairs on my skin moves about
    in the stillness, the zen-ness

    tried to forget you
    ever since we went apart
    I miss you dearly
    I cant stop the visuals
    million kisses fill my mind

    leaves are coming down
    entering a small job fair
    I'm getting nervous
    reaching out for a hand shake
    It is good to have a job

    The hot summer nights
    the air is still near the pool
    sweating people stare
    they gather and not say much
    but when they do it's little

    saving energy
    consumption by the fire
    mood enhancing drugs
    like cats soaking up the sun
    like dogs running on the beach
