“Eye”

Eye

Upward bound, birds /

fly through the gray winter sky, /

under an eye of blue.

Sign

Don’t stop at the sign. /

Travel on beyond the wires. /

Your horizon waits.

“From many”

From many

From many, one drops /

Earthward, away from the sky. /

No seeds in the sun.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Posed”

Posed

Posed for the decline /

of man, the cat climbs the tree /

after starlings and stars.

“One of these days”

One of these days

Oh tree, my tree,

Please hide me.

I want to stay

Away today.

I don’t want work

Nor stupid jerks

To come my way.

I want to be

By my little tree

And fill my my days

With poetry.

Oh tree, little tree

Stand by me.

Please, please

Hide me.

“Reflections”

Reflections

Reflections and runs. /

Descending winter sun plays /

off windows and clouds.

Photo finish Friday: “Dismantling”

Dismantling

Dismantling the tree: /

ornaments, lights, memories. /

Packing the past. /

No music to comfort me. /

Watch what the sock monkey sees.
