“Worry”

Worry

Worry is a leaf /

withered in the August sun, /

worthless in the fall.

Street lamp waits for fall.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Even”

Even

Even for the oak /

the future begins small /

and hidden from sight.

Lost

Man in a boat, /

mounted on an eatery wall, /

lost his way fishing.

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.
