Bowl of clouds

The bowl of the sky, /

Nourishing heaven and earth, /

Overflows with clouds.

This day

Part of the morning. /

Thoughts of another’s life. /

His moment or mine?

Arrival

Busy are the bees: /

arriving, leaving, buzzing, /

feeding. Fall whispers.

Return to the Earth /

All that was once bright and green. /

Death nibbles at noon.

Saturday silliness: “Unloose the Zeus”

Unloose the Zeus

upon these Olympic games.

Make room for his use;

to leave him out is our shame.

He’s the reason for the season,

be it winter or be it summer.

To ban him is but treason

and nothing short of a bummer.

Unloose the Zeus.

Do it now, I command.

And don your birthday suits,

play the games as originally planned.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Turn over”

Turn over

Cat looks up; you down. /

Ground is the sky is the ground. /

Stardust at your feet.

Haiku and photo: “Hanging”

Hanging

Some mornings don’t work. /
You try your best to succeed /
But you can’t hang on.
