Hawk perched in an oak, /
generous in its silence. /
Empty feeder swings.

Monday morning writing humor: “The Captain said”
What the Captain said
The boat is fine, the captain said;
he said it to our face.
The boat is fine, the captain said,
the river sets the pace.
The boat is fine, the captain said,
and then he said no more.
The boat is fine, the captain said
as we sailed away from shore.
The boat is fine, the captain said,
as the river tossed us about.
The boat is fine, the captain said,
as some of us wanted out.
The boat is fine, the captain said,
steering for the roughest part.
The boat is fine, the captain said;
he’d said it from the start.
The boat is fine, the captain said
as the waves thumped into the boat
The boat is fine, the captain said
as some of us tried to float.
The boat is fine, the captain said,
Come back again next year.
The boat is fine, the captain said —
but captain, I hope you’re not here.
The first, fall flush of success.

Haiku to you Thursday: “State stars start”
Stars still light the night /
yet a light across the yard /
states the morning’s start.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Big Deal”
O’ jack-o’-lantern /
spits seeds, blows smoke, swallows flame /
for a night’s desire.
Desire for sale.

Monday morning writing joke: “Too ugly to be seen.”
There once was a man so mean /
his face was too ugly to be seen. /
He was banned from sight /
so as not to give fright — /
except for the night called Halloween.
The man and his amulet.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Gossamer beauty”
Night time suns subdued /
Gossamer beauty released /
Passionate full moon.

Haiku to you Thursday: “night”
Clouds part into night /
Raindrops sparked in moonlight /
Winter reaches home.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Leaves in full color”
Leaves in full color /
taste the crisp air of autumn, /
skirt the ground with death.

Haiku to you Thursday: “tongues”
Uprooted words hurled /
Bitter and confused farewells /
Our tongues bloom with spikes.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Wind”
Wind, baby, and grass /
rustling sheets into night /
undulating dreams.
