Balancing Act
39 lines


I like to take a walk
In the world peace forest
Behind my house
In Incheon new town
Near the airport.

The trail winds around the town
Linking two ponds
One just a watering hole for traveling birds
The other a lotus flower pond.

Five miles round trip
Including a small mountain
At one end.

The forest is lined
With cherry trees
And other flowering trees.

And in the fall
Magnificent symphony
Of colors.


Before the gray of winter
Lays down the cold
And occasional snow.

There are animals along the way
Feral cats mostly
But I have seen a fox
And the elusive shy deer.

And heard but did not see
The oinking of a pig
Taking a bath.

And I saw a dead badger
And there are raccoon dogs
But I have not seen them.

In the end
Communing with nature
I find a sense of balance
So within and within out
Everything balancing out
In the end .

Best Christmas Present Prose Poetry form

The best Christmas as a child was when I was 18. years old. My dad bought me a nice stereo system, and he helped me set it up. It was state-of-the-art, he gave me some money, 100 dollars, and I went to the store on Telegraph Avenue with some friends to buy some LP’s. I went to the store with my friends. I bought five or six LPs, mostly classical music, as I was big classical fiend, played my music all day long. I took the stereo to college, listened to great songs, as my college roommates introduced me to great music, which was the best Christmas of my childhood. That was Christmas in 1974, in Berkeley, California, the best Christmas of my childhood.

The best Christmas as a child
Was when I was 18
My dad bought me
A nice stereo system
And he helped me set it up

It was state-of-the-art
He gave me some money
To buy some LPs
I went to the store
With my friends

Bought five or six LPs
Mostly classical music
As I was a big classical fiend

I played my music
All day long

Took the stereo to college
Listened to great songs
As my college roommates
Introduced me to great music

That was the best Christmas
Of my childhood
Christmas in 1974
In Berkeley, California.

I was sitting in my spacecraft, sorting through all my paperwork when I spied and interesting envelope on my dashboard. It came from someone on planet and this is it.

Prompt for January 19th, 2026

Annoying things


There are many things
That annoys me right now

Number on is Trump
And his goon squad
ICE gestapo troops

Going door to door
Invading people’s homes
Break down car doors
And doors

Shooting people
Murdering protestors
For the crime
Of watching ICE goon squads

Never accepting resonsibility
Or paying for the broken door

And the republicans
In congress
Looking the other way

Thinking there is nothing
To see here

Or blaming the victim
For being there
Protesting

Making the heroric
ICE officer
Having to kill them

See what you made me do
Sneers the officers
In a classic domestic
wife abuser’s voice

then there are the media
talking heads
Sane washing

Trump who clearly
Is entering into dementia
Territory

In a sane world
He would be gone
By now

These are some
Of the things
That annoys me

There was a most annoying sound coming from my spacecraft. I stopped by planet to get it worked on and found this item that explained exactly how I felt while I was waiting.

Where am I supposed to sleep?
#2141318 by (1,680)


Sleeping on the Floor


I sleep on the floor
Camping out
In between tenants

Koreans used to sleep
On the floor
So I am used to it
By now

First slept
On the floor
Back in the day

Korean houses
Were heated
Underneath the floor

One sat on the ground
Standing up your head
Would be cold
While your feet
would be warm

Read, review and write about where you sleep.
