Struggled for wisdom,
Have poured over many books
-they say I'm a fool.

Day's Last Adventure
Sprawled out on the floor,
Adventures unfold in book
-reading, then dreamland.

Procrastination 101
Reading late at night,
Information scatters out
-little left by dawn.

Little Hobo
by Edward S. Gault
My mother pointed out to me,
As she helped me put on
The various parts of my hobo costume,
That winning a contest was not easy.
Other kids may have worked harder.
I should not get my hopes up, or
My expectations too high.
She did not want me to
Suffer the blow when I didn’t win.
Still, I carried home a blue ribbon that day.

Little Hobo was originally published last October.
When the teacher said
That I would not fit in there-you knew me better.
xxxxxxxxxII
Many years ago,
You read to a little boy-no one believed in.

You told me one day
Uniforms can't measure us.

Vacation's Past Time
One of the things that I've always enjoyed doing with vacation time is to read. This scares the living bejabbers out of some people, I guess because reading is the mark of an independent mind. Independent minds make people nervous. So when more conservative relatives come to visit I sneak out when I can to get just a few more pages of delicious thoughtcrime read. Here is a haiku for all you independent minds out there.
Man reads in cafe
Evening light takes its flight
A moonlit walk home
