“Limits”

Limits

Life at the limits /

has turned loose its freak show. /

Flowers squirt poison.

“Waiting”

Waiting

Waiting your guidance, /

possessions are opinions /

lacking direction.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Scattered”

Scattered

Scattered on the street, /

reflected in the car door, /

curled oak leaves and light.

“On the wall”

On the wall

The body is gone. /

Prison is more than a place. /

Hope hangs on the wall.

“Seeds”

Seeds

Autumn seeds descend. /

Winter’s cold underworld. /

Spring’s ghost whispers hope.

“Death”

Death

Death is an entry, /

a metaphor unfolding, /

a flower empty.

“Silence”

Silence

Fall leaves on a bench,

a pile of my yesterdays

all in dead silence.

Photo finish Friday: “Cling”

Cling

Fall rain clings to stems /

and leaves clinging to summer’s /

warm, fading promise.
