“Fading”

Fading

A shield to the rain,

oak leaf upturned on the street,

fading on asphalt.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Bright bones”

Bright bones

Bright bones of light /

reflected on the asphalt: /

spoked hubcap art.

“Reclaim”

Reclaim

Up through the asphalt, /

the common sow thistle grows, /

reclaiming its home.

Lambent

Evening limb lightning, /
jagged shadow descends trunk, /
lambent on asphalt.

Haiku and photo: “Fall beach”

Fall beach

A beach of asphalt. /

Waves of fallen autumn leaves. /

Lingering shadows.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Highway”

Highway traffic churns: /

R-P-Ms, heat, wheel, anger. /

Asphalt is man’s hell.

Monday morning writing joke: “Sanity”

There once was a writer from France /

who worked too hard to have her chance. /

Living down by the Seine /

Her friends thought her deranged, /

when insane across the Seine she did dance.

***

A writer walks into a bar with a slab of asphalt under his arm and says, “A beer please, and one for the road.”

Haiku to you Thursday: “Prefer”

Road sign overhead reads: /

“EXPECT POTHOLES, USE CAUTION” /

Would prefer asphalt.
