Word Offerings
Back Email Page

 

A selection of haiku, senryu, tanka and free verse written by Canadian artist & poet BY Penman. You will find more writing and haiga in my blog. Please explore and I hope you enjoy the word offerings.




With knowing hands we
Part the clouds to find the sun
And chase the blue notes

 

Over pine needles
And pavement, these gypsy feet
Rush toward nothing

 

 

 

The Sound of Dreams

within the sound of dreams
words like whispers wrap
dusk's muted blue-grey arms
draw me down and lay me out
thoughts pulled with ebbing tides
dormant needs laid bare
old scars revealed anew
the salt of life stings sweet
for gypsy feet long stilled
caught up in should and must
the robe of can't thrown off
like yesterday's life cuttings
bathed in quicksilver and brine
floating toward tomorrow
shared sunsets and silence
dreams to build a life on
