Farewell

Clouds whisper farewell. /

Wisps of winter white trail and /

breach the lonely high. .

Winter rain

I see you on leaves, /

lost tears of the winter rain. /

I see my rain, too.

Haiku and photo: “Door mat”

Door mat

Footprints on tree limbs, /

winter water reflection: /

world view up from down.

Haiku and photo: “Truth”

Truth

Digging up answers /

Is just like digging up bones. /

Results we’ll bury.

Haiku and photo: “Light through the limbs”

Light through the limbs

Light climbs the night limbs, /

Touching bare the winter trees. /

Moon a ripe, white fruit.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Frames”

Frames

Framed and not framed, us /

linked within rusted links: viewed, /

beheld, and set free.

Haiku and photo: “Visions”

Visions

I’m a rodent, you see. /

Not a weatherman, who sees. /

See the difference?

Haiku and photo: “Night visitor”

Night visitor

Ancient face abounds;

Deep into the night it shines.

See in darkness home.

Haiku and photo: “Start”

Start

Buds in mid-winter /

clutch to tomorrow’s promise /

within today’s cold.

Sunday silliness: “Chocolate cake”

Today is National Chocolate Cake Day and National Inane Answering Message Day or NIAD (Nigh-Add) for short.

So, go have a piece or two or chocolate cake and record this on your answering machine:

“I had cake. It was great.

Leave a message and I may relate.

Vanilla’s fine. Strawberry, too.

But chocolate’s the only one that’ll do.

Chocolate cake and chocolate frosting.

Chocolate from beginning to topping.

Leave a message after the beep,

unless you’re a salesman or some beep-beep creep.”
