“Eye”

Eye

Upward bound, birds /

fly through the gray winter sky, /

under an eye of blue.

“A sip”

A sip

Some cats sip at bowl.

Some cats are on hot tin roof.

Reflecting on thirst.

“Goodbye”

Goodbye

Footsteps here and gone. /

What you hold you someday lose. /

What you embrace stays.

“Sign”

Sign

Don’t stop at the sign. /

Travel on beyond the wires. /

Your horizon waits.

“Let us”

Let us

Let us ride balloons: /

Up to the heavens and moons. /

Light as grace and stars.

“Gallon grief”

Gallon grief

Heartache, ice cream takes /

one gallon or two: cone, scoops, /

pain moves — heart to head.

“Worry”

Worry

Do or not do? /

No worry about worry. /

You make it so.

“From many”

From many

From many, one drops /

Earthward, away from the sky. /

No seeds in the sun.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Posed”

Posed

Posed for the decline /

of man, the cat climbs the tree /

after starlings and stars.
