I always enjoyed these when I have a chance. Don't expect rymes, and I do wander off to Haiku's from time to time as well as the occasional Senryu.
The Battle
From their point of view they are righteous
holding back a wayward foe.
Others only watch the battle trying to
understand why it is waged.
From our point of view the battle must be
won for peace and freedoms sake.
Take heed for the winds of change always come
upon the wings of chaos.
Be ready for it or fall to the storm.
Winter Love
Glittering stars shine
Eyes reflect luminous moon
Winters icy breath

Poetry
I was a wildland fire fighter for the B.I.A. in 2003 in Utah. I wrote this after a fire that was dubbed "The Moon Water fire" (I think for a lake nearby). I don't really write as much poetry as I used to so I had to dig one of the old ones out. Hope you all enjoy
Fire Storm
The Ladder Fuels rose all about
Tip tops reaching for the blue sky
The flames licked the clouds
And the smoke plumes were high
We beat and pulled and ripped the earth
To stop the flames so nigh
And our ashen faces told the truth
We earned our every dime
Thinking on the pleasantries of home
And letting not an hour go by
That we thought not of the baths awaiting
And the thoughts brought forth many a sigh
Yet we trudged forth, not giving up
On Moon Water's steepest sides
And letting not the heat and lightning
Our weakness slowly dies
Hot Spotting through thickest bush
Cold Trailing though thorn
Sweating out the hours ticking
On fire storms we are reborn
