Haiku and photo: “Shapes”

Shapes

The shapes of nature, /

from spring flowers to raindrops, /

turn time into life.

Monday morning writing joke: “Writer from Nantucket”

There once was a writer from Nantucket/
Who stuffed her writing wish list bucket. /
Crammed with crumpled notes /
Stuffed until it bloats /
Each list a rewrite ending in “F6$k it!”

Your adventure

Live your adventure. /

If it exceeds your limits /

Grow within it.

Haiku and photo: “Broken”

Broken

Broken tree shades /

broken lives laid in graves, their /

names in stone and wind.

Voodoo

Scent of rancid sex. /

Phallic in the hot morning. /

Lily you Voodoo.

Poem and photo: “Rings”

Rings

Onion rings. /

Saturn’s rings. /

Take a bite or two. /

Ice cream cone /

Hanging all alone /

Up there in the blue. /

It’s called Freezo /

But what do we know, /

Except the old is new. /

Stand in line /

Like stars aligned /

Order from the menu.

Pick a treat /

Order complete /

Get some ketchup, too. /

Food in a bag /

Heavy it may sag, /

Until you eat it through.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Clattering”

Anger is a stone /

clattering for attention, /

never finishing.

Haiku to you Tuesday: “Love”

Love

Is love hard as stone /

or supple as a paint stroke? /

Does it grind or flow?
