sherku: high jump series 4

In the moment
Before stand
Still head moves
Slowly arms
Swing and then
Reach for sky

sherku: high jump series 3

The sensation
Of height and
Flight is too
Quick the run
Up leads to
The pit fall

sherku: high jump series 2

Striding to
Get the marks
Move the start
Up or back
To get the
Plant step just right

sherku: high jump series 1

There is no try
If you don’t
See yourself
Clear as you
Approach it
Won’t happen

sherku: winter walk

Sun dappled
Roadway I
Walk in fear
Of finding
Icy surface
In the shade



The origin of sherku

sherku: cleaning

Wet floor
Reflects light
Providing deep
Satisfaction
With job done well



The origin of sherku

the still wet floor that inspired this thought

sherku: as you wish

What he said
Putting in
Service his
Eight foot reach
To help her clean
Where she can’t


The origin of sherku

sherku: reading in the dark

Years ago
It was by
Flashlight under
The cover
Now my love’s
Kindle glows
