Haiku to you Thursday: “Wiry smile”
Wiry smile
A wiry smile /
bends across a cold, hard face /
in the morning sun.

“At home with a good book”
“At home with a good book”
I wanna go home
where the buffalo roam
all about the loam,
and the troll and the gnome
eat crumpets from a comb
and the strumpets of Rome
read erotica from a tome
and wait for you at home
where the fun’s allowed to roam
wild as strumpets on a comb
and crumpets on the loam
and buffalo with a tome
thundering about the streets of Rome.
I wanna go home.

Cartoonsday: “Pumpkin spice”
Pumpkin spice
Oh, that pumpkin spice.
Some say, “How nice.”
Some say, “It doesn’t entice.”
In your latte or your cocoa cup,
It’s meant to please, to fill you up.
It’s as though this orange gourd
Was handed down by some manor lord.
But is this what Halloween means?
Lining someone else purse with our green
As we smell it, taste it, baste it,
Living as if we cannot waste it?
Oh, that odorous pumpkin spice,
Coming to offer, to entice.
A little pumpkin can be nice,
But a lot is like having lice.

Hanging
Hanging with the dead, /
may mean fingeratively,
or even your toes.

Salutation
I stand up to you, /
Young cat said to Old cane. /
Old cane kept its lean.

“Danse Macabre”
Danse Macabre
I stood stone still /
when the giant skeleton /
asked me to dance.
