“Rumples”

Rumples

Rumpled clouds, unmade /

head, autumn morning chirping, /

filled with tousled light.

How

How immense the sky. /

How small the cardinal, yet

how wondrous he flies.

“No Reservations”

No reservations

Perched along the roof. /

Awaiting seed arrival: /

No reservations.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Sun—.”

Sun—

Sun— fading light and /

Seeds of night and death.

“One Percenter Blues”

One Percenter Blues

My Merc is great

My cup holders rate

My seats auto warm

My bunions and corns.

I got the one percenter blues.

My maid’s an alien

Her English is failin’

I keep explainin’

That her taxes are makin’ her

One of these one percenter blues.

I got our money

All sweet as golden honey

My life is plu-sunny

For me and my rare bunny.

I got the one percenter blues.

“Two”

Two

Cold rain and wind leave /

two seeds in a pod of concrete. /

November ends.

Down the evening road, /

sundown colors dreams.

“Laughter”

Laughter

I hold up the sky!

boasts the Catalpa tree.

Overhead, clouds laugh.

Monday morning writing joke: “Shelf adoration”

There once was a writer in a bookstore /

Of her novels, she wanted to see more. /

Up on the shelves /

She wanted them to dwell /

But first she had to do more than adore.

“Speak”

Speak

The end goes to Him. /

End over end over you. /

They juggle God’s balls.
