Haiku XXVI opus 898

22 July 2026 2118 Hours Poetry

Cammarosano 
Doctor for my eyes and soul
Has world interest.

Takes his time to talk
Always asks a deep question
Relaxed with feet up.

Parting is so sad
Few people speak with such heart
Waiting 'til next month.

African Pendot
Now she is in the mountains
Loves all her people.

Third May her birthday
She is returning from church
Surprises wait her.

We pronounce it BATH
Name from another culture
Really it is 'BATT.'

Haiku new for me
Now it all just keeps coming
Very deep meaning.

Oh my great teacher
Would that I could sit at your
Feet and take in all.

New energy thrust
In my being, as Moses'
Vision--Burning Bush.

Two widowers left
Through the life process of death
Are soothed ensemble.

Planning for the time--
A time of remembrances
Care and love prevail.

Art with many notes
Found hidden in a closet
Done from High School days?

Morphine soothed her pain
Offered to her every day
But I am not soothed.

She's lost in body
Another day without her
She cuts through my mind.

When power of love
Ovecomes love of power
The world will know peace.

Whales, humans, and birds
Sing for territory and
Love.  We are the same.

Whales evolved from land
We still see the floating hip
There's evolution!

Sperm whales killed en masse
The cruel days of whaling
Death to light the lamps.

Toothed whales consume fish
Therefore meat tastes very strong
Choose the oil instead.

Baleen whales eat krill
Therefore meat tastes sweet and good
Eskimos choose these.
