April 21, 2020 by Dale 2 Comments

Dette landskab ligner en hemmelighed That landscape lingers in hemi-light fordi floden ikke ses Feathered blood inks the skies fra det sted, hvor jeg befinder mig. frosted showers just behind me Og derfor er det også Embossed air that scars det landskab, hvor jeg lettest The landscape — hovers weightless ville kunne undvære mig selv….

Quills

April 1, 2017 by Dale 2 Comments

Peacock Head

Dip a sharpened quill into the bluest ink of time and link it when then drink it now. Draw forth the weather’s breath through walls Nasrid built and exhale princes, all, are bid adieu measured now for red yellow red.

Haiku Harmony

March 9, 2016 by Dale 4 Comments

Harmony

Mother teamed to Son Melted hearts born in hard snow Trained in harmony Black, tan and white fur Bounding for the trail ahead Played in harmony. Heart wrapped in wool Bright eyes sparkle flecks of ice Warmed in harmony. Lovers on a dog sled We are home wrapped in arms Pulled in harmony.” All text…
