The road less taken /
Rattles like a bare spring tree /
Only lonelier.

Haiku to you Thursday (and photo): “The Road Less Taken”
The road less taken /
Rattles like a bare spring tree /
Only lonelier.
Haiku to you Thursday (and photo): “Read, Donnie, Read”
Savor every word. /
Turn the pages respectfully. /
Arm the mind and heart.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Hanging the Moon”
Let us hang the Moon /
Tonight and forever: /
You, me, Sun, and Love.

Monday morning writing joke: “Writer Extraordinaire”
There once was a writer extraordinaire
For the less talented he did not care.
Then one day
His ghost writer gave him away
And credit with his mom he had to share.

Photo finish (and poem) Friday: “Rain”
As I sit out in the rain /
Pondering life all the same /
A pond appeared across the way /
Growing larger and larger throughout the day /
Until the time when night fell /
And I could not tell land from water very well. /
But as the sun rose, I will vouchsafe, /
It’s no fun being in a watery grave.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Binding”
The oppressing hand /
Binds through fear and not respect /
Embraces your hate.

Star Trek: The Next Germination: “The multigrain sandwich and war”
Multigrain for Picard
Made chewing very hard
On the bridge to make it so.
Because of that special dough
When the Romulans did appear
The sandwich would not clear
His throat so he could order
“Data, warp 8 to the boarder!”
Now, over 20 years have passed
And his days in Starfleet amassed
In history books where stories are told
Of his feats, both brave and bold.
But there is one footnote aside
About the one mission that was tried.
Enterprise and crew were almost lost
Until Number One grabbed and tossed
The multi-grain demon across the bridge
Striking Worf upon his ridge,
And then he slapped Picard on the back
Which caused the Captain to go “Hack-ack-ack.”
Worf thought that meant aim and fire
Photons and phaser banks entire.
When the weapons were all depleted
And Picard was finally seated
Worf peeled the sandwich from his head
Took a bite and boldly said,
“Needs mustard.”

Photo finish Friday (and haiku): “Exhausted”
The man on the bus /
Urges me to “Keep it up!” /
But he’s exhausted.

Haiku (and cartoon) to you Thursday: “New Year”
Another year lapses /
Burdened with what might have beens: /
Tomorrow whispers.

cARtOONSdAY: “eXIT rIGHT”
How you end a scene or chapter is as important as how you begin one.
Staged exit
Staged exit right.
Left in a flight.
Rung drama from the night
Exited before day bright.
We cried, “No more!”
Our eyes cast to the floor
We showed him the door.
He cried, “You bore.”
He left with a sting
Like a long hard fling
When the door it swings
Into the ding-a-king.
