There once was a writer from downtown, /
Who took his rejection lying around. /
He would open his e-mail /
And read the words: “No Sale.” /
Then say, “No need to get up to get down.”

Haiku and photo: “Spring fly”
Spring fly
Spring fly in kitchen. /
Annoying buzz fills my ears. /
Bug swatter stirring.

The world
Over my shoulder, /
Earth is a small orb in space. /
Still, it fills my dreams.

Monday morning writing joke: “Poetic justice”
Photo from Staunton News Leader, 1936
Poetic justice
You divorced me today,
But you can’t take my words away.
My words are worth
All your penny love on this old earth.
You claim you are owed
For being subjected to my odes.
You’ll receive neither cent nor couplet—
I don’t care if penalties double it.
This divorce has no rhyme nor reason,
So, love, take a haiku for the season.
I have given you my best.
I doubt you can stanza the rest.

World Poetry Day
Haiku and photo: “An opening”
An opening
An open mind learns.
An open heart compasses.
An open book starts.

Monday morning writing joke: “Wrong queue”
James Bond, Jason Bourne, and John Wick walked into a bar.
Two of them fell down, and then they knew they were in the wrong Q.

Haiku and photo: “Mirror”
Mirror
Objects in mirror /
May be further from your reach /
Than the distance back.

Monday (morning) writing joke: “Writer from the farm”
There once was a writer from the farm
Who thought writing could do no harm.
Then one day while he uttered
Poetry he scribbled near a cow’s udder,
She kicked him because she was not charmed.
Haiku and photo: “Paws”
Paws
Cat on wet walkway /
Stretching to embrace the day /
Paws to wander why.
