Three Miscellaneous Haiku by Dennis Lange

A Necessity This Close

Nice kitty!
You better be a
Nice kitty!

——————– 

 

Picture Window 

A circle,
Island in the sea –
All rock framed.

——————– 

 

 

In And Out 

A spired church.
Inside, worshiper
Is inspired.

Sonnet 70 – Pi by Dennis Lange

………..Sonnet 70 – Pi

…………….3.141592653…

…………3/14/15 at 9:26:53

Though not repeating in infinity,
This ratio: circumference
To its diameter, we all shall see,
A strand of pearls in all its elegance.

This year on three/fourteen, the hour nine,
Plus minutes – twenty six, and some ticks more:
Exactly fifty-three on down the line,
Will be a day of mathematics lore.

A Super Bowl, the Oscars, Nobel Prize –
That day will be the day to top all days.
Appearing to the number lover’s eyes,
A million dollar slot machine that pays.

Pi Day I’ll celebrate with pie, a slice –
Pecan or buttermilk would be quite nice.

Three Rock Haiku by Dennis Lange

Rocky Stream

The stones flow
In a hard river
Past the shore.

——————– 

 

Crafted With Care

Stone mason,
A circled circle –
An artist.

——————– 

 

The Rock Ranks

All armies:
Cold, hard, dead, and stone
In the end.

——————–

The Circle Widens by Dennis Lange

The circle widens as a man grows wise.
He comes to know what is beyond the veil.
The world is wider than the ears and eyes.

Within its mother’s womb the baby lies,
Until it greets the room with newborn wail.
The circle widens as a man grows wise.

The groups of friends and kin enlarge in size.
Still more will come along to write the tale.
The world is wider than the ears and eyes.

From marbles in a ring to win a prize,
We move to bigger games along the trail.
The circle widens as a man grows wise.

Our yard, our land, and then we search the skies;
Are told, like children, there is more to sail.
The world is wider than the ears and eyes.

Life’s more than mortal reach can e’er surmise.
We must be told what lies beyond the pale.
The circle widens as a man grows wise.
The world is wider than the ears and eyes.
