Alone

Falling yellow tears, /

this sere autumn day is not /

for me, alone.

“One leaf”

One leaf

One leaf falls and then /

a thousand and ten thousand /

leaving fall to trees.

“Fairy house”

Fairy house

Shells of the ocean /

formed as a house for fairies /

Young hands mold magic.

“Iris”

Iris

In the lesser light, /

Iris blooming in autumn. /

Slanting toward the sun.

“The park”

The Park

Spring strolls through the park. /

Shaking green from her sleeves and /

Color from her eyes.

Borders

Light and shadow play /

Across the morning glory. /

Borders and highlights.

Monday morning writing joke: “Writer in the Kremlin”

There once was a writer in the Kremlin

Whose words were always dissembling.

No matter what he’d say

The writer would explain it away –

Even when Trump was Putin dwelling.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Thunder”

Thunder bangs the glass, /

a beggar at the window /

demanding tribute.

Haiku to you Thursday: “The Stargazer”

The stargazer grieves /

for the love he left behind /

fading into daylight.

Monday morning writing joke: “Love at first pants”

There once was a writer of Romance /

Who had a stance on love at first glance. /

It was hard for him to believe /

Or even try to conceive /

That it could be done while still wearing your pants.
