Poem and illustration: “Tilt”

Tilt

Do you run like Mercury? /

Straight arrow to the end? /

Is you love like Venus? /

Head over heals to begin? /

Are you a quarter way over, /

Mars tilted into battle? /

Or are you Uranus, /

Cockeyed like a rattle? /

Jupiter tilts only slightly /

As the mighty often do. /

Saturn, Neptune, and Ol’ Earth /

Bend as if they’ve had a few, /

Hanging out with Mars, /

Swapping stories, one or two. /

All the planets have stories /

And each an angle of repose. /

That includes Pluto, to whom /

Some have turned up their collective nose.

Haiku to you Thursday: “A part apart”

A part apart

Us apart, a part /

of us still locked down because /

of a lack of love.
