The Seven Views

one

Kafka
on a sunny day
the toy on the stairs

two

two hummingbird eggs
or is it three?
in a hand-painted nest

three

the heat
in the evening alone

four

how can you calculate
the silence
after the explosion?

five

no wish to escape
sniffles
hay fever
bend once

six

that mountain
has aged
downward

seven

zero illumination
be generous
to the darkness

Quite a range of observations, Pete.

Les

I feel a soft comforting even calming vibe...I truly enjoyed this poem

Hey man,, you're getting better, I really liked and understood this one... perchance, I've opened a bit.... nah.. to consertive to change.. you've gotten better.. silence after an explosion was for many years a way of life for me. I truly understand that view. continue my friend of many contridictions.

Lol Terry.

Agree with Gwyd, Peter; soothing, but then I have always like the dark.

even conservatives can change, Terry...after all I supported Diem in 1962 and the bay of pigglets...duh.

I only feel I get a little better maybe once a week, though.

Heard that back then Bobbie got a suit back from the cleaners, in the pocket he found a note,, said,,"Bobbie, don't forget air cover for the bay of pigs,,, signed Jack"
