The wanting
I am your sun dog. /
I have a few moments for you. /
Do you have a snack?

Haiku and photo: “The wanting”
Filed under 2021, haiku, photo by David E. Booker, Poetry by David E. Booker
Poem and photo: “Flickering”
Flickering
Next remembers nothing /
Of the world it inherited /
From yesterday’s dreams /
Burning brightly but shortly /
On a stack of birthday cake. /
Take all the kindness /
And burn away the sorrow:
One flame for regret /
One flame for forgetfulness /
Two for forgiveness: one outer/
And one inner /
One flame for the quiet that may never come /
One flame for all left not done. /
And maybe one for love stretched over the decades /
Flickering still on this least of holy nights.

The nose
The nose knows no no’s. /
Olfactory exploring. /
The damp detective.

Haiku and photo: “Active”
Active
Active head rest /
Surely, the car makes a jest. /
I laugh as air bag crests.

Odds and ends
Stray cat, tame flowers. /

Love now, storm glowers.

The daffodils and /

Light stained with color.
Haiku to you Thursday (and photo): “Thieves”
Thieves
A thousand thieves may /
rip the jonquils from the ground /
but they can’t steal Spring.
Haiku to you Thursday (and photo): “Spring”
Spring
You came unannounced. /
Arising quickly in March. /
Blooms and promises.

Shadows and colors
Sunlight sits on cap /
Lying in quiet repose /
Waiting to turn heads.
