a window
is always a window
and yet, and yet....
109. tattooed lady
holding back tears
trading pain for pleasure—
tattooed lady
(photo by Jen Litwinowicz)
—i wrote this haiku years ago after going to a tattoo convention and observing the many people lying on tables getting tattoos. Originally, the poem was about a man, but I wanted to show beauty in this post and changed it to tattooed lady. This picture is more recent and reveals both beauty and strength—strength of body, yes, but also strength of character and will inherent in a woman.
98. life is good
the sun at noon
one fox crossing the road
six horses grazing
*
seven beltie cows
one blue heron lifting off
eight male deer lazing
*
thirteen geese honking
a doggie in the window
four feet walking....
*
what we saw
on an easy sunday stroll—
my honey and me
93. leela—the cosmic dance
beauty and power
masculine and feminine
the divine dance
— Leela is the divine play of creation. In Hindu mythology, leela represents the idea that, as Shakespeare put it, “all the world’s a stage and men and women are merely players.” https://kavitasolomon.wordpress.com/2014/06/21/hindu-philosophy-leela-the-divine-play/
