Haiku and photo: “Broken”

Broken

Broken tree shades /

broken lives laid in graves, their /

names in stone and wind.

Poem and photo: “First draft”

First draft

‪“Guess what?”‬

‪“Chicken butt.”‬

‪He fell over into the rut.‬

‪“How high?”‬

‪“A baby’s cry?”‬

‪He gave me the quizzical eye.‬

‪“Knock. Knock.”‬

‪“You’re a smelly old sock.”‬

‪He looked at me like my head’s down the block.‬

‪“Bye bye.”‬

‪“Here’s mud in your eye.”‬

‪He shook his head and tried to fly.‬

Photo finish Friday: “Hanging around”

Hanging around

Flowing with the creek /

Gathering along the banks /

The trash never ends.

Bee at peace

Rest in my window. /

Recumbent under glass. /

Cryptic bee at peace.

Voodoo

Scent of rancid sex. /

Phallic in the hot morning. /

Lily you Voodoo.

Poem and photo: “Rings”

Rings

Onion rings. /

Saturn’s rings. /

Take a bite or two. /

Ice cream cone /

Hanging all alone /

Up there in the blue. /

It’s called Freezo /

But what do we know, /

Except the old is new. /

Stand in line /

Like stars aligned /

Order from the menu.

Pick a treat /

Order complete /

Get some ketchup, too. /

Food in a bag /

Heavy it may sag, /

Until you eat it through.

Haiku and photo: “Decay”

Decay

Decay touches all /

Arrives with kind indifference /

Grips with gray delight.
