Haiku and photo: “Desiccation Hope”

Desiccation Hope

Desiccated leaves /

Fall murmurs through the breezes /

Hope, too, rides the air.

Spring / fall

Spring flower, fall rain. /

Iris white, droplets bubble. /

Rebloom and return.

Silly Saturday: “Killer Bunnies of the Apocalypse”

Killer Bunnies of the Apocalypse

It’s the Killer Bunnies of the Apocalypse.

Death in their DNA got the slip.

Now they roam the countryside.

Wild, winged, and bent on genocide.

Beware! should you cross their path.

They travel in herds and will attack.

Munch and crunch and chew to the ground

all flora and fauna and toes that can be found.

There is but one way to tame these bunnies.

That is to roll them over and rub their tummies.

But you might not be able to get that near,

at least not until you’ve have a couple of beers.

These bunnies are fierce in their apocalyptic way,

but belly rubs and carrots could save the day.

Saturday silliness: “Corg”

Corg

I am the Corgi. /

Resistance is but futile. /

Scratch me now, human.

Iris

In the lesser light, /

Iris blooming in autumn. /

Slanting toward the sun.

Saturday silliness: “Faces”

Faces

At the wishing well, /

She made faces, not wishes /

And then they came true.

Haiku and photo: “Morning cool”

Morning cool

In the morning cool, /

on the feet of fall insects /

Death enters softly.

Haiku and photo: “Diligent”

Diligent

Diligent spider /

Weaves wide its gossamer threads /

Awaits autumn’s gifts.
