Haiku to you Thursday: “One day”

One day

One day, we will leave /

our decrepit homes. Maybe /

then ourselves will fly.

“Solstice”

Solstice

Winter loves slowly. /

Its long shadows stretch like life /

compactly marooned.

Uninhibited

Uninhibited, /

I write on the water; /

I paint in the sky.

Holding

Finger points gently. /

He holds forth under the tree. /

Santa says, “Not yet.”

Silhouette

Bare tree, empty house: /

silhouetted by the setting sun, /

undressed by evening.

Photo finish Friday: “Holidays”

Holidays

The pumpkin laughs /

at the fat man trying to pass. /

The turkey flew the coop.

Senryu to you Thursday: “Stains”

Stains

Emptying your /

old pockets, I find dead masks /

stained with your phlegm.
