The new pink

The Danse Macabre /

Dark is a black flamingo /

Death is the new pink.

“One day”

One day

One day, the days end. /

The gravestones mark those days. /

The clouds mourn not.

napping on a railing.

Soft waves stroke the beach. /

Soft strokes touch your tired soul. /

Recede and return.

Two cats

The quarter moon

and two cats were happy.

“Thoughts”

Thoughts

Ice cream thoughts rise to /

a cotton candy goodbye, /

clouds and heat swirl by.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Old man”

Old man

The sun peers over

my shoulder, an old man who

gives heat as advice.

Memories

The oven’s raw heat /

and cinnamon’s sweet scent blend /

to stir memories.
