“Unpainted”

Unpainted

Out of frame, /

an unpainted apple tree /

endures the seasons.

“Shrug”

Shrug

Ten years have passed. /

You were here then; this was home. /

The summer sun shrugs.

“Give ‘em”

Extended magazine of inaction.

Give ‘em.

Give ’em a gun; give ’em a Bible. /

Watch as they turn and go tribal. /

“An Act of God,” is their refrain /

as the children cry out in pain.

“Faces”

Faces

At the wishing well, /

She made faces, not wishes /

And then they came true.

“Anon”

Anon

Susurrating trees /

evening approaches anon /

building and clouds sigh.

“Love”

Love

Love is the big fish /

that always gets away, but /

leaves tall tales to tell.

Halloween

Summer’s fallen dreams /

Buried nightmares bloom.

Sunday silliness: “Hunter’s stew”

Hunters stew

Deep in the forest, /

made with choice ingredients, /

Autumn Hunters Stew.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Miles”

Away and again, /

the miles separating us /

bloom empty in my heart.
