“Fall”

Fall

Fall paints the maple, /

a blush of red to its summer green. /

Then the bright leaves fall.

“Loudly”

Loudly

The birds belch loudly /

verses on the morning sun. /

The earthworms rejoice.

At the wishing well, /

most people make wishes. /

Others make faces.

From the dark, eyes peer /

into the rising, warm day. /

Questions fall like leaves.

Photo finish Friday: “Hose”

Hose

Garden hose and cat /

not pleased with where it’s at. /

Curled and claws for a spat.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Few”

Few

The last few beans /

and a few young tomatoes /

of the few days left.

“Waiting”

Waiting

Empty park swings hang /

beneath white ripe clouds, waiting /

for chains to rattle.

“Night light”

Night light

Pale light, pole light. /

Moon light, sliver in the night. /

Sun light far from sight.

“The wild”

The wild

The wild heart still lives, /

among the tamed yards it prowls, /

its eyes summer bright.

“Ghosts and Failures”

Ghosts and Failures

Tires we toss aside /

return to remind us of /

our ghosts and failures.
