Selected poems
STRANGE DANCE TWINS?
(Musing upon possible interchange between math and poetry)
Mathematics —- Haiku
A co-joined matrix of real?
Both sharp performers!
See what might be there
Imaginative dance twins
Long delving what is
Rigorous action!
Strong Deductive disciplines!
Subset of each other?
Establish grounding
Conjectures the possible
Patterning the whole!
Delving what is here
Numbers and Words together
Spring-boarding the NEW!
ANOTHER SLOW SATURDAY MORNING!
(GREAT!)
There continues
right NOW
to be
an iconic presencing
to a slow —- light-bright
Saturday Morning
Bread
with locally-crafted
marmalade
Knife licked
with a subtle delight
Such a delicate art this!
Halved grapefruit
Bartered with
neighbor
for chillie paste
Always served
with crinkled edges
There is
plenty of both to share
WANT SOME??
Can include
some Beetroot relish
And Ginger Kombucha
as well!
Hmmm —-
Better warm up
the Coffee —- AGAIN!
Coffee with HONEY
(of course)
Gotta mate
coming for lunch
Plenty of stuff
hanging around
Glad it’s not ‘till 1ish
always “ish” —- or “about”
