Steps
Success, my dad said, /
was often one foot ahead /
of the other one.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Scattered”
Scattered
Scattered on the street, /
reflected in the car door, /
curled oak leaves and light.

“On the wall”
On the wall
The body is gone. /
Prison is more than a place. /
Hope hangs on the wall.

“See”
See
See the fall evening /
reflected in the mirror, /
fading with the sun.

“Seeds”
Seeds
Autumn seeds descend. /
Winter’s cold underworld. /
Spring’s ghost whispers hope.

“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.

“Flash of inspiration”
Flash of inspiration
..
A flash of inspiration,
Showering the consternation
While trying to find usurpation
Because the damn thing won’t work.
..
Moments of contemplation,
Mental hiccups and gyrations
Have led to this perturbation:
Water and electricity to twerk.
..
The world in needed restoration
Could use so full lubrication:
Sweat, blood, toil – an aggregation
Exploding with a jerk.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Cravings”
Cravings
Halloween evening.
The dead amongst us this hour
crave “sweets” to devour.

“Fright”
Fright
Writer up all night /
succumbs to his story’s fright — /
no end in sight.
