A large crane by the sea,
Move up closer for a better look-see;
No need to worry about being heard,
It’s not the long-legged, long-necked bird.

Poetry – haikus, free verse
K. Pinella’s poems
Fountain Blue
Idyllic setting,
A romantic rendezvous,
Fantasy comes true.
An illicit tryst,
Fleeting lust, lasting regret;
A lapse in judgment.
Summah Dinnah
Life’s simple pleashahs,
Lobstah on buttered brioche,
Fresh garden veggies,
A home-cooked dinnah,
With New England clam chowdah,
Topped with bacon bits.
State of the Union
A nation divided,
With leadership derided,
Rivaling factions
On a tangent of distractions.
The media giving them fuel,
Focusing on the drivel,
Congress continues to show inaction,
Amidst a circus of tawdry attractions.
The state of the union
Is like cutting an onion —
Makes you weep.
Any Way You Slice It
Slice it,
Dice it,
Divide it,
Just give me a piece
Of pizza
Immediately,
Or else
I’ll slice you,
Dice you,
Divide you
In more than one piece,
Figuratively.
Long Trek Home
I lost my way,
So I ran away,
Ventured too far,
Got in a stranger’s car.
Through my folly,
I’ll never see my family,
If only I can backtrack,
But the dead can’t come back.
Juxtaposition
Other side of blue,
Tranquility magnified,
Far removed from gloom.
