Still life
Still life, resting fruit, /
tormented painter strokes canvas, /
shaping color.

Orphan
Orphaned in my cell, /
ten thousand of who I am, /
bury my soul.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Still”
Still
Shirt draped over chair. /
Shadows trick my memories. /
You gone; me here still.

“Descending”
Descending
Sun fades onto lake.
Brown trees embrace the shore.
Autumn descending.

“August days”
August days
Rusted tin man /
and dying cornflowers — /
August days decay.

“Latte-dah”
Latte-dah
Summer is over, so Starbucks declares, /
bringing forth their fall pumpkin wares. /
Temperatures still roiling across the US. /
When they will break is anybody’s guess. /
Hurricanes hit California and other coasts, /
but Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Latte Starbucks boasts. /
It may be 69 days until Halloween /
but this declaration seems self-serving and a bit obscene.

“My arrow”
My arrow
Oh, love’s arrow,
Straight and true,
Toward my love,
Fly to you.
But if my love
Should ever stray,
May my arrow
End your way.

“Stops”
Stops
Abandoned portals: /
memories echo, dust stirs, /
footsteps lead to wind.

“Refrain”
Refrain
Thunder and rain /
August in ugly refrain. /
Dog feeling restrained.

“Know”
Know
A field of flowers: /
bright, showy, and all dressed the same. /
Does each know its own?
