spiritual senryu...
love your enemas 
and turn the other cheek;

weeping branches fall
blossoms splash in surging sea;
everywhere sorrow

Try Your Best
In whatever you do, give it your all
Whethere you're at your job or playing ball
Because when you give your very best
God will help with the rest.

Timely Cinquain
in vain
Lazarus tried
to figure out the date
when Jesus raised him... then he heard
March forth!
March fourth?
I guess that means
there were at least three more
behind that rock inside...

briefly speaking...
Concise is writing in your briefs
to show off everything
in much the way a bas-relief's
an image with a zing.

No Valentine Treat
When I used to be a gambler
I thought I’d played the winning hand,
but, though playing with our hearts,
I only thought I’d break the bank

Enough
Tired of this half life
It’s yoke of weary exasperation 
I want to shout
“I am here use me”
I will scream”
“What’s wrong?” 
“Do I confuse you?”

Cinquain
    
      
        Absent
        of any feeling
        the body lies lingering
        with no escape; the mind opens death's
        portal.

I don't often write form poems so not sure how this shapes up.

wreathed in soft-kissed words 
smiles to warm my day

Almost Spiritual
Recipient of a gardeners soft touch,
a garden grows with love...
to be seen, to provide, to enjoy;
itself, is the tenderest tender.
