Up
Thunder teases /
up among the deaf, gray clouds. /
Dreams await relief.

Haiku and photo: “Cane and me”
Cane and me
Substance or shadow, /
Science or superstition, /
Love’s dark truth, Hate’s light?

A flower’s beauty /

Kindness upon toil.

Monday morning writing joke: “War writer”
There once was a writer of wars /
Who saw peace as a series of chores. /
When people put their arms away /
He had nothing to say, /
And at parties he was just one of the boors.

Haiku and photo: “Shapes”
Shapes
The shapes of nature, /
from spring flowers to raindrops, /
turn time into life.

Monday morning writing joke: “Writer from Nantucket”
There once was a writer from Nantucket/
Who stuffed her writing wish list bucket. /
Crammed with crumpled notes /
Stuffed until it bloats /
Each list a rewrite ending in “F6$k it!”

Haiku and photo: “Broken”
Broken
Broken tree shades /
broken lives laid in graves, their /
names in stone and wind.

Poem and photo: “Rings”
Rings
Onion rings. /
Saturn’s rings. /
Take a bite or two. /
Ice cream cone /
Hanging all alone /
Up there in the blue. /
It’s called Freezo /
But what do we know, /
Except the old is new. /
Stand in line /
Like stars aligned /
Order from the menu.
Pick a treat /
Order complete /
Get some ketchup, too. /
Food in a bag /
Heavy it may sag, /
Until you eat it through.

Photo and haiku: “Lacewing”
Lacewing
Translucent lacewing, /
Benefits not from the sun. /
Four weeks, a pale life.
