“Two”

Two

Cold rain and wind leave /

two seeds in a pod of concrete. /

November ends.

“Colors”

Colors

Down the evening road, /

up the lavender mountains, /

sundown colors dreams.

“Laughter”

Laughter

I hold up the sky!

boasts the Catalpa tree.

Overhead, clouds laugh.

Monday morning writing joke: “Shelf adoration”

There once was a writer in a bookstore /

Of her novels, she wanted to see more. /

Up on the shelves /

She wanted them to dwell /

But first she had to do more than adore.

“Silence”

Silence

The wind rattles limbs /

sweeps the leaves after the rain. /

Ravens stay silent.

“The seat”

The seat

I bought the book /

with the cow on the couch /

and I wonder /

is this a Freudian slip, /

a Jungian shadow, or /

my mother’s sofa.

Photo finish Friday: “Joys”

Joys

Trees stand naked. /

Flowers succumb to the cold. /

The sun holds its joys.

Haiku to you Thursday: “One day”

One day

One day there will be no cat.

One day there will be no fence.

What then of the scratching?

The valley in shadow /
