“Death”

Death

Death is an entry, /

a metaphor unfolding, /

a flower empty.

“Silence”

Silence

Fall leaves on a bench,

a pile of my yesterdays

all in dead silence.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Cravings”

Cravings

Halloween evening.

The dead amongst us this hour

crave “sweets” to devour.

“Once”

Once

Once leaves flew above. /

Now, they gather here below, /

death waits on the wind.

“Brushy Mountain”

Brushy Mountain

Watchers and watched speak /

Memories wet and cold as /

A Saturday rain.

Be not tomorrow. /

Flowers give their best now. /

The future has no eyes.

“Old parchment”

Old parchment

Fall leaves touch sidewalk, /

plucked from a season’s fancy, /

curled as old parchment.

“Be bread”

Be bread

Bread was prepared. /

Pear bread. Be pre-pear-ed. /

Fruit baked and punned.

Jazz intonations /

Salutation

I stand up to you, /

Young cat said to Old cane. /

Old cane kept its lean.
