HAIKU
The sad silent scream
emanating from the hook
earthworm’s agony

A MAN AND HIS GUITAR
The old guitar is silent now
And sits behind the door
It’s strings are loose and out of tune
Not played as once before
He made the instrument he played
With such amazing skill
Music filled his home with joy
But now those strings are still
The man that made that guitar sing
Now sits and stares at space
He can’t remember how to play . . .
Confusion clouds his face
Sixty years they were as one
And music filled the air
Then gradually the music slipped
Behind his vacant stare
The old guitar awaits his touch
A touch that’s not to be
Because it’s lost within his mind
Where even he can’t see
