Folded beauty
The folded beauty /
Of fading flower petals /
Ends not Spring’s bloom.

“If I should meet”
If I should meet
If this author I should meet
In a bookstore or on the street
Will she autograph my books
Or give me ugly, sullen looks?
Will she shoo her hand and say,
“Old man just go away.”
Or will she take her pen in hand
And send me to the Promised Land?
Driving pen down into my heart
And ending life with a sudden start?
Or will she stop and graciously offer
To personalize the books I proffer?
Thanking me for supporting her
Though these works may be obscure?
If this author I should meet
On a bench or restaurant seat
Sadly, I’ll not have her books with me.
What a disappointment that will be.

“Rhymes with orange”
On Triskaidekaphobia Day, remembering when we were very unlucky.
Rhymes with orange
He bickers and whines. /
One is eight or nine. /
One wears a red tie.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Cathedral”
Cathedral
Nature’s stained glass bends /
light through lavender petals: /
Sunset cathedral.

“Tall tale”
Tall tale
The gravedigger says, /
As his needling wife’s unearthed, /
“It’s all a big yarn.”

“Fall apart”
Fall apart
Stand up; fall apart. /
Brain pops out, as does the heart. /
Night comes; we restart.

“Undone”
Undone
That ol’ evening sun, /
fire settles, day is done, /
hope forgiven, then undone.

Purple cornflower
Bachelor’s Button /
growing by the road, waving /
at passing ladies.

Love-in-the-mist
Slender to the eye, /
iridescent in the light, /
lives love-in-the-mist.
