Haiku and photo: “The wanting”

The wanting

I am your sun dog. /

I have a few moments for you. /

Do you have a snack?

Haiku and photo: “The nose”

The nose

The nose knows no no’s. /

Olfactory exploring. /

The damp detective.

Haiku and photo: “Active”

Active

Active head rest /

Surely, the car makes a jest. /

I laugh as air bag crests.

Haiku and photo: “An opening”

An opening

An open mind learns.

An open heart compasses.

An open book starts.

Haiku and Photo: “My name”

My name

I am not Stanley. /

Why does she call me bad names? /

I call her Gertrude.

Poem and photo: “Covet-19 Blues”

COVET-19 Blues

The feeling that you get,

When someone you know is let

In line in front of you.

You are not a high risk dame

Or a gunsel of the same,

But it is a crime and shame, true.

You want to get the stick,

Feel the vaccine do its trick

And tell the virus, “Screw you.”

You’ve waited patiently,

A patient you don’t want to be —

It is worse than the flu.

Then this feeling you get — mean,

Some call it COVET-19,

Because a friend beat you through.

Hey, we’re of the same young age.

We ain’t old enough to be a sage—

So screw you, too.

You say it when no one’s there.

It’s a feeling that you dare not share,

This COVET-19 Blues.

Prom dress

Upcoming Prom /

Your dresses are way too long. /

Anxiety, too.

Haiku and photo: “Bagel”

Bagels

Some bagels are fresh. /

Others are moldy compost /

Rescued for repast.

Haiku and photo: “The bark”

The bark

My dog is at home /

Shielded from human folly /

Except her owner’s.
