Haiku and photo: “Window flower”

Window flower

Peeking through the glass, /

Orchard searches for the sun, /

seeking assurance.

Haiku and photo: “Shapes”

Shapes

The shapes of nature, /

from spring flowers to raindrops, /

turn time into life.

Monday morning writing joke: “Writer from Nantucket”

There once was a writer from Nantucket/
Who stuffed her writing wish list bucket. /
Crammed with crumpled notes /
Stuffed until it bloats /
Each list a rewrite ending in “F6$k it!”

Haiku and illustration: “Free floating radicals”

Free floating radicals

The clock floated free; /

the jack, the pawn, and the car /

left their roles behind.

Your adventure

Live your adventure. /

If it exceeds your limits /

Grow within it.

Haiku and photo: “Broken”

Broken

Broken tree shades /

broken lives laid in graves, their /

names in stone and wind.

Poem and photo: “First draft”

First draft

‪“Guess what?”‬

‪“Chicken butt.”‬

‪He fell over into the rut.‬

‪“How high?”‬

‪“A baby’s cry?”‬

‪He gave me the quizzical eye.‬

‪“Knock. Knock.”‬

‪“You’re a smelly old sock.”‬

‪He looked at me like my head’s down the block.‬

‪“Bye bye.”‬

‪“Here’s mud in your eye.”‬

‪He shook his head and tried to fly.‬

Photo finish Friday: “Hanging around”

Hanging around

Flowing with the creek /

Gathering along the banks /

The trash never ends.
