“Flash of inspiration”

Flash of inspiration

..

A flash of inspiration,

Showering the consternation

While trying to find usurpation

Because the damn thing won’t work.

..

Moments of contemplation,

Mental hiccups and gyrations

Have led to this perturbation:

Water and electricity to twerk.

..

The world in needed restoration

Could use so full lubrication:

Sweat, blood, toil – an aggregation

Exploding with a jerk.

.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Cravings”

Cravings

Halloween evening.

The dead amongst us this hour

crave “sweets” to devour.

“Hanging”

Hanging

Hanging with the dead, /

may mean fingeratively,

or even your toes.

“Danse Macabre”

Danse Macabre

I stood stone still /

when the giant skeleton /

asked me to dance.

“Only”

Only

Halloween heart eek. /

She left me; I could not speak./

Only ghostly shriek.

“Stepping out”

Stepping out

Stepping out to vote. /

Ghouls, goblins, and ghosts support /

The best candidate.

Santa giving out Halloween candy

Santa giving out Halloween candy

Happy Ho-Ho-Holloween!

From October 31, 2013.

A pirate and Mario green

On Santa’s front porch can be seen.

Oh, the memories from nine years past

May they give a smile that will last.

As the years raise, sails on the mast,

Sailing us to other shores, too fast.

To hold a moment in our hands

Is hard because of where we stand.

We want to be still, a rock on land,

But that is often not how it’s planned.

So, remember now all things seen,

Smelled, felt, and comforting.

Knowing most will be only a sheen,

A glittering moment from which we have been.
