Evening
Sunlight rides the ridge, /
fading into evening as /
headlights ride the road.

“Shapes”
Shapes
Rain whispers. /
Water cups into footprints. /
Fog molds soft shapes.

“Ring in the Chocolate Cake”
Today is National Chocolate Cake Day and National Inane Answering Message Day or NIAD (Nigh-Add) for short.
So, go have a piece or two or chocolate cake and record this on your voicemail:
“I had cake. It was great.
Leave a message and I may relate.
Vanilla’s fine. Strawberry, too.
But chocolate’s the only one that’ll do.
Chocolate cake and chocolate frosting.
Chocolate from beginning to topping.
Leave a message after the beep,
unless you’re a salesman or some beep-beep creep.”

Evening finds me /
entering into myself, /
seeking old dreams.

“Beauty”
Beauty
An old bud withered. /
A young bud might not bear fruit. /
Still, beauty lived.

Failure
Is their poetry /
in failure? Bleak winter sun /
pockets its promise.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Sprouted”
Sprouted
Having lost their leaves, /
the trees sprouted puffy clouds. /
Then the winds took those.

Time
Now is elastic, /
Memory stretches then, /
Next shrinks away.

Ride
Worship the bullet /
And the fatted calf of death. /
Ride the idol gun.
