An anchor symbolizes strength and toughness under pressure.

It also looks like a symbol supporting all genders

and connecting with life since it has elements of an ankh.

The anchor’s depth of meanings makes it more strong…

This poem Anchor was in a Milpitas Post 2017 issue.

That newspaper (years ago): what I was into.

To post this on here now may feel slow and late,

but I’d rather post it now than have to wait.

The healer goddess teaches me the joy that has no limits.

I kiss her from her pate to her digits.

She makes me euphoric like no other.

Healer Goddess took a chance on me; I love her.

A goddess welcomes a voyager into the universe’s center

(tasting luscious, succulent tender)…

Purring pulsing sultry beauty: nectar spicy pink honey juicy…

Worshiping her and the location of the big bang,

lips, tips, and tongues explore and profane.

They adore each others’ curves, depth, and length…

Her ability to create is her power and strength…

Mother Nature can give high fives

because she has got palm trees.

Especially on Earth Day, here’s another piece:

Flowers must feel cool

when they are fanned

by hummingbirds.

While these are not haikus,

they’re two of my shorter works.

These poems Mother Nature and Flowers were in Milpitas Post issues.
