Haiku to you Thursday: “Room”

Room

This Earth /

with all its old tragedies /

still has room for me.

Monday morning writing joke: “Strut Your Stuff”

There once was a young writer in France,

Who for the New Year wanted to dance.

To get out of his rut,

Outside he did strut,

But forgot he was wearing no pants.

“Hope”

Hope

All hope has left is /

the first day of the year. /

Santa walks away.

Dear 2023

Dear 2023,

What type of year will you be?

Wild and free

Or consternating me?

O’ 2023,

Could I have a word?

Is it absurd

For me not to have heard

What type of year you will be?

I don’t want to own you.

Not even bone you

But if I phone you,

Would you be the right date for me?

“New Year’s Eve”

New Year’s Eve

Tomorrow somewhere /

a New Year has begun. Here /

the old treatments linger.

Photo finish Friday: “Whelmed”

Whelmed (dad joke, number 4)

Happy to see you. /

First, right amount of whelmed. Then, /

I was over it.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Dad joke, number 2”

Dad joke, number 2

A dad joke, you can /

always tell, but never can /

you tell it, “Can can.”
