By the roadside
Scraped, by the roadside, /
Olde English brown malt liquor. /
Unopened Spring thirst.

Haiku and photo: “Evening sun”
Evening sun
Descending daylight. /
Dressed in gray, red, and orange, /
Homes retire to night.

Poem: “Fat cells”
Fat cells
Fat cells live on /
Like the lyrics of a song /
Stuck in your ear. /
One from which you can’t get clear./
Fat cells live forever /
In fair or stormy weather, /
Regardless of if or whether /
You’d pack them away like winter sweaters. /
Fat cells never die, /
Nor really ever fry. /
Sweat them you may try, /
Butt they remain on hips and thighs. /
Fat cells are gleeful /
Thick and sticky as treacle. /
They can even be deceitful /
And they never say goodbye.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Grip”
Grip
What has died reaches /
into what has yet to live. /
Holding and leaving.

Haiku and photo: “Bridge”
Bridge
Feel the foot bridge sway. /
Swollen creek rushes your way. /
Your ears do not stray.

Haiku and photo: “Water bubbles”
Water bubbles
Upon the Spring petals /
New raindrops run and dangle, /
Nourishing old hopes.

We now return you /
To your regularly scheduled lies. /
The stupid returns.

Olympic rings
Golden, deep fat fried, /
Round signs of Spring — Onion rings. /
Olympic pleasure.
