Spring winds woo new grass. /
Some still brown and holding to /
Winter’s dark love.

Photo finish Friday: “The gap”
Filling in the gaps.
Gloriously tasty teeth
Oh, those teeth, those gloriously tasty teeth
I chew and swallow because my tummy’s hollow
and I feel a sense of release.
Oh, those gloriously tasty teeth.
My Mom says they’re only Smarties
a candy sweet and yummy hardy.
But my front teeth are swallowed and gone
going where my food and Smarties belong.
They taste sweet from my head to my feet.
Oh, the taste of my teeth can’t be beat.
Oh, those teeth, those gloriously tasty teeth
I chew and swallow because my tummy’s hollow
and I feel a sense of release.
Oh, those gloriously tasty teeth.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Heart and Clouds”
Heart and clouds /
gather water on the way /
to new growth.

O’ weekend
Oh, where is my weekend
my kindly ol’ weekend
the one meant to take me away?
I am ready right now
like an old bell on a cow
to clamor and clapper away
to ring in once again
to announce Let Us Begin
the start of a weekend day.
The sunlight upon me
swoops down to taunt me
and lead my old cow astray.
With its bell it’s ringing
and its low moo it’s singing
for the start of some fun today.
So, where are you my weekend
my kindly ol’ weekend
come now and take me way.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Cloud crowd”
Far from the night crowd /
a sense of togetherness /
gathers in the clouds.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Cold light”
Cold touches the light, /
sparkles in the ice cycles, /
glints against my eye.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Angel swim”
To swim with angels /
you must first bathe with demons, /
as humans purge pool.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Planet crumbs”
The moon’s full belly /
drags across the cold night sky, /
planet crumbs in tow.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Entwined”
Eyes entwined and deep, /
your face bears stoic witness /
to a mother’s heart.
