Santa giving out Halloween candy

Santa giving out Halloween candy

Happy Ho-Ho-Holloween!

From October 31, 2013.

A pirate and Mario green

On Santa’s front porch can be seen.

Oh, the memories from nine years past

May they give a smile that will last.

As the years raise, sails on the mast,

Sailing us to other shores, too fast.

To hold a moment in our hands

Is hard because of where we stand.

We want to be still, a rock on land,

But that is often not how it’s planned.

So, remember now all things seen,

Smelled, felt, and comforting.

Knowing most will be only a sheen,

A glittering moment from which we have been.

Haiku and photo: “Only”

Only

Halloween heart eek. /

She left me; I could not speak./

Only ghostly shriek.

Bread

Cranberry bread, baked /

taste of holidays.

Haiku to you Thursday: “The sky”

The sky

Morning sky gives way /

to the sun’s rising thrust and /

fall leaf canopy.

Haiku and photo: “The night”

The night

Horizon flares red /

Behind clouds smudged dark with night. /

Car travels film noir.

Monday morning writing joke: “Noted”

There once was an actor of note,

Who thought he was so good he could float.

Upon the stage he did try

To levitate way up high,

And soon he was smaller than a mote.

Haiku and photo: “Morning fog”

Morning fog

Sun wears morning fog, /

peeks from behind damp fall trees. /

Light and thoughts refract.
