Haiku and photo: “Shadows and color”

Shadows and colors

Sunlight sits on cap /

Lying in quiet repose /

Waiting to turn heads.

Prom dress

Upcoming Prom /

Your dresses are way too long. /

Anxiety, too.

Haiku and photo: “Clang, clang”

Clang, clang

New engines, old cars /

Train clangs about its journey /

Rides a cloudy day.

Olympus Mons

Rise, volcano, rise /

On an ancient world nearby /

Robots call you home.

Haiku and photo: “The bark”

The bark

My dog is at home /

Shielded from human folly /

Except her owner’s.

Haiku and photo: “Light”

Light

Before the windows /

Shines the ceiling lamp, hanging /

Empty and yet full.

Box carred in.

Freight train before me. /

White car blocking my behind. /

Road to nowhere now.

Benched

Cane at a park bench. /

Borrowed book and found cap. /

Cold weather, warm words.

“Palindrome day”

Palindrome day

Say Goodbye

To Palindrome Day.

It comes and it goes

Just the same way.

Some demand it

Have more to say.

But it comes and goes

Just the same way.

Put it in forward

Or reverse play:

02022020

Has the same sway.

There may have been

Much more in the clay

When the ground hog

Tested his shadow’s lay.

But if more winter comes

Or if winter goes today

02022020

Will carry us away.

.
