Haiku and photo: “Morning paint”

Morning paint

Day’s palette starts slow, /

Brushes into the moments /

Night has left undone.

Shadow Song

Breeze and leaves chorale /

Through sun-silhouetted limbs. /

Shadow song of fall.

Haiku in the fall

Haiku in the fall. /

Stripped of ornamentation, /

words live sparingly.

Autumn in shadows, /

Man made the time piece. /

Time’s moments make memories. /

The clock should not rule.

Sunday silliness: “Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude”

Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude

Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude

Spent the evening in camarad.

Eating birdseed,

Fists full of greed,

Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude.

Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude,

In raccoon fur they trod.

Into the night

They ate with delight,

Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude.

Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude.

Three raccoons in a pod.

Three peas after food,

Including suet crude.

Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude.

Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude

Were too inland to find scrod.

Eventually they left.

When a boom with some heft

Shooed on Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude.

Haiku and photo: “Wrinkles”

Wrinkles

Blue haired old lady /

Streaks of gray and white abound /

Wrinkles fold Earth’s face.

Haiku to you Thursday: “In one leaf”

In one leaf

In one leaf is all

the fall, and in one moment

is all of a life.

Haiku and photo: “Seeds”

Seeds

Autumn seeds descend. /

Winter’s cold underworld. /

Spring’s ghost whispers hope.
