Spice of Life
With the hlue water around curled,
And fringed by the greeneries in its
ardent splendor;
With the sun from above
lighting the lake into glittering diamonds
making life anew.
Dotted by sailing boats
And darting motor launches.
I swear this little house
peering into the lake;
Inspires me I confess
more of life to take.
Be it sunny be it funny,
This beautiful spot makes life
worth the while for me.
You thought well!
You thought well!
To make like a swell.
From your sleeping chair,
you can see the blue sea
Ay! And smell the fresh air.

Sleepy haps
Autumn
Running saps a
Naked tree
Icely stream
Frail and weak
All of these
Makes three.

struggling

this last flotver
finally came
into the world,
but it was late
and cold
and the flower
did not bloom,
but withered
and died
in, the cold

All men tremble at punishment, all
men love life. Remember that you
are like unto them, and do not cause
slaughter.
Dhammapada ancient
A long time ago a man kept
goose in a bottle. It grew and It
grew until It could not get out of
the bottie any longer. The man did
not want to break the bottle, nor did
he want to hurt the goose. How coud
he get ft out?
Zen riddle
You and I on a drop
Together through space ice drift.
The faucet drips.
He cleans the spot,
Call a plumber dear,
What a waste of time,
And get that thing to -
Stop.
Street man
Shuffles past the mansion
Shrugs his shoulders,
Wraps up the sky.
Fifty cent cigar smoke floats by.
