eye woke
to find its lids
had been written upon
then I saw it was a dream when
I woke

I woke
from an odd dream
where I reenacted
a Marine Corps battle scene from
Iwo



This is my 1,000th Cinquain and it really wasn’t a dream. I was honored on one Mardi Gras parade float to participate, as a Marine veteran, in the flag raising on Iwo Jima; something I’ll always remember and it still brings tears to my eyes thinking of it.

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy



Kindness is a seed sown by the gentlest hand, growing care's flowers.

no woe
to feeling tears
on an old Marine's face
celebrating his heritage
Oorah!

real sweet
