Jonathan ROBIN Poems

Haiku traditions
spurn inconstant syllables,
partial positions
...

Bountiful blooms break out, bright colours peek,
sap pushes upwards, snow melts, life at last
creates a wonder world rich which flows fast.
Fertile fusion finds three seasons speak,
...

Tea Party channels much frustration at the state
EAch major party leaves democracy,
PART squabbles part denies reality
Yet Obama hasn't really done too great.
...

So many gifts to praise, so little space
Admitted in one sonnet's fourteen lines.
No syllables string purer pearls to grace
Dearer neck white swan, admiring, signs.
...

Time flows, who sows may reap but never keep
though all by hook or crook would prove Time wrong,
for even while vile pile grows high, smile’s song
from dust to rictus dust earns timeless sleep.
...

Progress expresses courage, leaves behind
All unhappiness as heart can start
Making up time lost. Each puzzle part
Eases into place within the mind,
...

Malgré son charme exquis, un esprit aux aguets
A mission de saisir du pourquoi le comment,
Reste, au-delà du rire, éveillé observant
Toute la comédie humaine colorée.
...

May the reflection of eight colours show
An insight into multi-task mind whose
Responses and reactions few friends choose
To understand in depth though surface glow
...

Sweet love's urgings seem, soft, oft ignored,
Or censored, checked, or wanting wings to fly
With fearless feelings which would amplify
Emotions into ecstasy: accord
...

To gall, then gloom, did bear incline
Through Gaul when doom bid share decline.

Wall Street at last turns dust, seeds crash
...
