Haiku to you Thursday: “Ghost”

Ghost

A ghost of summer, /

a coneflower in winter, /

brittle stalk and day.

“Tin man”

Tin man

Tin man lost his head. /

Gave his heart to Dorothy, /

who never came back.

“One of these days”

One of these days

Oh tree, my tree,

Please hide me.

I want to stay

Away today.

I don’t want work

Nor stupid jerks

To come my way.

I want to be

By my little tree

And fill my my days

With poetry.

Oh tree, little tree

Stand by me.

Please, please

Hide me.

“Looking”

Looking

Looking backward /

No one remembers the rain /

Only the hammers.

“Inner seeds”

Inner seeds

Cancer is Winter: /

Hard on the outer shell /

Opens inner seeds.

“Snow”

Snow

Cat in the snow, /

under a truck that won’t go. /

Yet, noises still flow.

“Turning”

Turning

Winter sky reflects /

in glass and in clouds: wonder, /

pain, weather, and blue.

Morning

Snow and yellow sun /

Hurl white into the morning. /

Touched by morning blue.

“Shapes”

Shapes

Fog enters the night, /

swirls around with damp delight, /

obscures the cold light.

“Glass sun”

Glass sun

The molten glass sun /

Oozes fire along day’s edge. /

Cooling into night.
