“Embers”

Embers

Touched but not touching, /

the moon carries its embers: /

unrequited love.

“Translucent”

Translucent

September sun shines /

through translucent oak leaves bathed /

with afternoon light.

“Whispers”

Whispers

Thin clouds whisper words. /

Afternoon shadows my mind. /

Fall sun winks through trees.

“Breathe”

Breathe

Breathe in the moment. /

Breathe out the mind’s chatter. /

Breathe, to say the least.

Somewhere, beyond the /

“Two chairs”

Two chairs

We shall find ourselves, /

two chairs by an ageless sea, /

folding in our names.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Once above”

Once above

What was once above /

descends September today, /

blurring sight and streets.

“Hurricane rain”

Hurricane rain

Her hurricane rain: /

Tattered, battered, liquid skirt. /

Dignity falling.

“Unpainted”

Unpainted

Out of frame, /

an unpainted apple tree /

endures the seasons.

“Hey”

Ad on Facebook prompted this off the cuff, tongue in cheek haiku.

Hey

Hey, girls write first. /

If I knew where to find them, /

I wouldn’t say a word.
