Haiku to you Thursday: “Flawed and cracked”

He stole her best years.

All he left her was his love:

flawed and cracked; she smiled.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Empty, too”

Our pockets empty

we compare mythologies

under the eclipse.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Empty”

Empty as pockets –

midnight to devastation –

we delude our myths.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Delight”

Is delight just a word

or will I find its candle

resting in your smile?

Haiku to you Thursday: “Strawberry moon”

Strawberry moon ripens, /

descending the night sky /

into fields of dreams.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Defined”

Love is not defined /

except by the open heart /

and pain at parting.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Straggler”

The straggler grieves /

for the love he left behind /

fading into daylight.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Love is…”

Purple Iris after a rain.

 

Love is a flower. /

Often too short a time /

but always a wonder.

Monday (morning) writing joke: “Faking it”

There once was a writer ignorant of history, /

For whom dates and names were a mystery. /

Did it happen there? /

Did anyone really care? /

It let him tell the story so simplistically.
