recent postings 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 . © Copyright 2022 JCosmos (jcosmos at Writing.Com). All rights reserved.

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.
