Eclipse cool
We are wave cool. /
We shine during the eclipse. /
We are solid, too.

Haiku and photo: “Eclipse cool”
Eclipse cool
We were eclipse cool. /
Special glasses — we no fools. /
Swam in shadow pool.
Eclipse in August 21, 2017
Haiku written 082121
A cup of Mercury
I swallowed from the cup of Mercury
to cover my absurdity.
The ambrosia of Venus
was cloudy in toxic meanness.
I raised a toast to ol’ Earth
the land of mirth and birth.
I’d thought I’d reached the stars
but was only a sip of Mars.
“Here’s mud in your eye,”
I said to Jupiter by and by.
I left a ring around Saturn —
just following an old pattern.
I drank from Uranus
though you thought me an ignoramus.
Things got kind of blurry
drinking from Neptune in such a hurry.
I got blotto on Pluto —
as a planet I couldn’t let go.
