Rebirth
Rescued from the fall, /
sunflowers thrive in the vase. /
Summer storm rebirth.

“Icarus”
Icarus
Beyond the blind clouds, /
Icarus lingers, forlorn, /
hopes struck by the sun.

“Within”
Within
Deep the well within. /
Bright the penny that descends. /
Soft the echo ends.

“Weirdo anthem”
Weirdo anthem
I’m a weirdo, this I know /
Because the Blue Eagle tells me so. /
Up above the world so high /
Like a star that’s streaked you by. /
My little weirdness shines so bright /
All my neighbors can’t say good night. /
In fair or foul or stormy weather /
Friends may leave, but weirdos are forever.

“Bone Spur Special”
Bone Spur Special
It’s the Bone Spur Special
Bring your Fred and Ethel
‘cause there’s nothing more respectful
Than a stolen holiday.
He’ll keep things rolling
As he steals what’s showing
To make a time worth ignoring
This 4th of July holiday.
It’s the nation’s birthday
But he has to take it away.
Nobody can have a holiday
”Uuger” than his own.
It’s the Bone Spur Special
Bring your Fred and Ethel
‘cause there’s nothing more respectful
Than a stolen holiday.
He takes money away
To build a wall and to play
‘cause he saw it Bastille Day
And wants a military show.
Commander Bone Spur says,
I’m only honoring the dead
Except for the one I dread
That Captain John McCain.
It’s the Bone Spur Special
Come on Fred and Ethel
Don’t let the rain dent your mettle
On this stolen holiday.
Veterans could use a hand
So could the poor of the land
Instead they get something grand
To soothe B.S.’s ego pains.
Make America Great Again,
Evict Bone Spur and his sins,
Fake news, and lying spins.
Then it will be a holiday.
It’s the Bone Spur Special
Children suffer behind metal
It’s concentration camp kettle
On this stolen holiday.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Lily now”
Lily now
Yellow like sunlight, /
shadows like the fading moon. /
Lily now; lost too soon.

“Smudged nightmare”
Smudged nightmare
Van Gogh nightmare: /
sun smudged behind gray clouds. /
Swirling — still no sale.

“Threshold”
Threshold
Today speaks decay. /
Memory echoes the past. /
Threshold whispers, “Why?”
