Up the Magnolia /
the executioner climbs: /
chipper growls below.

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

“Ode to chocolate”
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.”

“Cat”
Cat
Cat curled on a bench, /
gray fur against gray stone. /
Gray winter surrounds.

Tangled web of limbs /

full, with winter dreams.

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

Ragged
Pile of dirty snow.
Once was a beauty, but no.
Ragged dreams let go.

Photo finish Friday: “Homeless”
Homeless
Sweet, sickly scent — /
pine trees piled in the street, /
homeless from holidays.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Bristles”
Bristles
Bristles in ice /
rattled like bones, but could not /
sweep winter aside.
