“Obscured”

Obscured

Moon obscured on high, /

passing through the August sky /

clouds veil, then goodbye. /

“August”

August

Ah, crap, August comes /

And I feel so incredibly dumb. /

I had plans to do so much, /

Now they lay piled, an incomplete bunch. /

I planned to travel, to go far, /

But did not make it beyond my car /

And to the chores that needed doing /

That had been brewing and chewing /

Up all my time /

Until the world sublime /

Has moved to August as it now stands /

School and promises hand in hand. /

Maybe next year I’ll visit a museum /

And to libraries — well, I can still go see them. /

Maybe check out a book and make plans /

To go, next May, to some far off lands.

“Where”

Where

Where once bright flowers /

pulsated with energy, /

now rattle empty

Wings

Wings across the sky: /

dark, expansive nephogram. /

Eagle, hawk, or dove?

Haiku to you Thursday “Breathe”

Breathe

Breathe in the moment. /

Breathe out the mind’s chatter. /

Breathe, to say the least.

Evening shades of blue. /

I look up and think of you. /

Nimbus cloud in view.

“Rule of 95”

Rule of 95

Evening east and heat. /

Rule of 95 invoked. /

I scream for ice cream.

“Know”

Know

A field of flowers: /

bright, showy, and all dressed the same. /

Does each know its own?
