Poems from Larsito

I'm a first generation american with parents from Norway and Perú. I've traveled quite a bit and have lived in Trondheim, Norway for 16 years. I currently live in Berkeley, CA. I moved here after a 30 year marriage ended in divorce. I have two boys aged 25 and 23. My work has been in teaching and healthcare sales. I've recently acquired a love of Haiku. I've always had a love for poetry and have written many poems throughout my life - maybe over 300. The Haiku style however speaks to me in it's direct and terse simplicity.
goodbyes hurt and sweet sunflowers commanding hi here now and later
forgotten words lost birds of prey circle on high remember those gone
steelhead falter not chess pieces taken away see who controls them
so dear a presence autumn leaves drift softly down and settle there
Spoken words heal soul Autumn leaves fall and nourish Living beings born
