Frank James Ryan Jr...fjr Poems

I was only fifteen,
I still remember her words
that tore through my Heart,
ostensibly for light years,
...

I'm Remembering the day's
we'd eat black and white cookies,
the size of pie-plates,
my best friend and me,
...

Time, is not a reversible consequence of Life,
For if it were, we would never, soldier forward.
And, that would greatly stunt our opportunities
To maximize our virtues....galvanize our fortes,
...

There be no boundaries in Love,

for it's dimensions are infinite
...

Two Persian Cats on window sill,

Never bored nor get their fill
...

The word is they found you dead last night,
alone.....on the porch of your Eastside digs,
a warm Crème de Cacao beside a hardbound
of Truman Capote's 'Portraits and Observations'.
...

Contemporary Haiku formatted
with the syllabic requirement
of Traditional Zen Haiku...
...

Whistle of wind across the ear
of a man on a distant hill,
awaiting Father MacGarrity's
final blessing of water.
...

Contemporary Haiku with the employment of
Traditional Haikus syllabic requirement.

Deaths Visitation
...

Contemporary Haiku formatted with
the employment of Traditional Haikus
