“Happy Eve”

Happy Eve

Happy Triskaidekaphobia Eve

To all who practice and believe.

Beware now that sidewalk crack

For you may break your mother’s back.

You’ve probably already broken her heart,

With your non replies or answers smart.

So she has now visited upon you

This Friday day over which to stew.

The Ides of March did Caesar in,

His conspirators waited until the middle to begin.

But this Friday and this thirteen

Stabs without antagonist seen.

There is always one and up to three

To torment you, to not let you be.

So, gird your loins and be on your guard,

Lest you be hoisted by your own petard.

Dreams

Good night, Earth. /

I search with headlights /

for truthful dreams.

“Whisper”

Whisper

Bend now bare limbs /

burdened by the clouds passing, /

whispering of spring.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Room”

Room

This Earth /

with all its old tragedies /

still has room for me.

Monday morning writing joke: “Strut Your Stuff”

There once was a young writer in France,

Who for the New Year wanted to dance.

To get out of his rut,

Outside he did strut,

But forgot he was wearing no pants.

“Hope”

Hope

All hope has left is /

the first day of the year. /

Santa walks away.
