When
When I’m old, I’ll don /
a lavender sheet and stand /
in my cold decline.

Haiku and photo: “Breeze”
Breeze
Life for all its faults /
Hangs like a Spring water drop — /
Waits for a freeing breeze.

Spring fly in kitchen. /
Annoying buzz fills my ears. /
Bug swatter stirring.

Poem and photo – The mayor taped
The mayor taped
I saw the mayor taped to the door. /
His mug was one you couldn’t ignore. /
He promised a meet and greet; /
Then a rasslin’ match to complete. /
I don’t know if I’ll attend. /
Such events do tend to offend. /
While politics can be rough, /
Forearm smashes are beyond enough. /
Seeing bodies thrown around, /
Will make me wonder if Cas Walker’s back above ground. /
Maybe I prefer a bit less sham, /
With politicians to be less ham, /
To save the pork for the table, /
And work for the good of all available.

Photo finish Friday (and poem): “Garden”
Garden
Garden objet d’art /
Among the flowers of Spring /
Man’s discards reborn.
Haiku to you Thursday: “Hand Placement”
Hand placement
My shifting hands say: /
See, speak, and hear no idea. /
Hands down, they lie.

The world
Over my shoulder, /
Earth is a small orb in space. /
Still, it fills my dreams.

Haiku and photo: “Water flower”
Water flower
White Iris pedals /
Folded by the falling Spring /
Rise to catch the rain.
