Startlets
What is "Startlets"? This is a soon to be published book (soon being a word of indeterminate nature).

Before heading down the road to startlets, CampChuck created the following books of poetry:

  • haiku triples
  • haiku creek
  • Edgewise

From haiku creek

Flurry

  What in the world
  Lasts

  A gently windblown snowfall

  Before
  Melting by

Teardrop

  My love,
  You roll
  Wet down my cheek

  With the speck of you
  Caught in my eye

With Due Respect

  Wads
  Of character

  Like
  Chewing Gum
  Or money

  Is
  Sticky business

From Edgewise

Despite

L    I    F    E
IS AN INVETERATE MESS

but
so long as most of the tumult
    remains sufficiently distant
            sufficiently detached

I continue being
    highly contented
    and sometimes

GLORIOUSLY HAPPY

Pixie, Choosy

Frequently lazing
In summerly dazing
No matter the time of the year

With no consternation
From procrastination
I sleep through the dreariness.
                            dear,
                            there is
There is no better trifling
Than merry bicycling
By forested pathways and streams

The minor delinquence
Of mustering piquance
From busyness businessy seams.
                                       dreams,
                                       they are
Far more inviting
However disquieting--
A vital selection of means.
