The light
Opportunity /
May not knock nor door open, /
But light will be there.

Haiku and photo: “To see”
To see
Horizons begin /
in a cloud or on a ridge,/
bending light, earth, hopes.

Haiku and photo: “Stalk”
Stalk
The rose does not bloom. /
The morning glory entwines, /
blooms on borrowed stalk.

Imagine, if you will…
Imagine, if you will…
Imagine, if you will,
A people so shrill,
They scream for their rights,
But are ready to kill.
Responsibility — not theirs
And they have no cares,
Except to fight,
When asked to community share.
To wear a simple mask
Is an onerous task,
And with all their might,
Many refused to get vaxxed.
They have their excuses
Or claim it’s all ruses.
It’s all government oversight
Or power abuses.
The hospitals are clogged,
And the cases are logged,
“Unvaccinated flight”
Leaves healthcare workers agog.
Now children are dying,
But GOP politicians are crying.
They say their dead right
To stop even trying.
Go get some invermectin,
Or your grandma’s canning pectin.
Take it tonight to fight
Left-wing insurrection.
It will rid you of parasites
And any sense of the real right,
Like civil responsibility,
To all lives: one and many.

Haiku and photo: “Brooding”
Brooding
A face in the clouds /
reclining in evening sun /
brooding toward the night.

Haiku and photo: “Nectar”
Nectar
Nectar-hunting bee /
Cares not a bit about me. /
I am unworthy.

Haiku and photo: “Sometimes”
Sometimes
To feed a hunger /
Sometimes takes extra portions, /
Patience, and giving.

Sere
Tithonia behold: /
Brown grass crunches with each step. /
Summer’s sere whisper.

Haiku and photo: “How”
How
Cloud, how can this be?
You floating full in the sky.
Me standing empty?

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.
