Bridge
Feel the foot bridge sway. /
Swollen creek rushes your way. /
Your ears do not stray.

Water bubbles
Upon the Spring petals /
New raindrops run and dangle, /
Nourishing old hopes.

The Greenway
The Greenway awaits /
Your friends and neighbors do, too /
Kindness blooms anew.

We now return you /
To your regularly scheduled lies. /
The stupid returns.

Sweet heat of Jesus /
Tastes full-bodied on your tongue /

Golden, deep fat fried, /
Round signs of Spring — Onion rings. /
Olympic pleasure.

Monday morning writing joke: “Poetic justice”
Photo from Staunton News Leader, 1936
Poetic justice
You divorced me today,
But you can’t take my words away.
My words are worth
All your penny love on this old earth.
You claim you are owed
For being subjected to my odes.
You’ll receive neither cent nor couplet—
I don’t care if penalties double it.
This divorce has no rhyme nor reason,
So, love, take a haiku for the season.
I have given you my best.
I doubt you can stanza the rest.

Haiku and photo: “Flames of green”
Flames of green
Flames of green, come Spring /
Buds erupt: wild, jaunty things. /
Leaves no more unseen.
