“Rhymes with orange”

On Triskaidekaphobia Day, remembering when we were very unlucky.

Rhymes with orange

He bickers and whines. /

One is eight or nine. /

One wears a red tie.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Cathedral”

Cathedral

Nature’s stained glass bends /

light through lavender petals: /

Sunset cathedral.

Tall tale

The gravedigger says, /

As his needling wife’s unearthed, /

“It’s all a big yarn.”

“Fall apart”

Fall apart

Stand up; fall apart. /

Brain pops out, as does the heart. /

Night comes; we restart.
