Cold
Cold, quarter moon glides /
above the bare, winter limbs. /
Sleepless night’s embrace.

“Oh, Monday”
Oh, Monday.
Oooh, Monday.
Oooh, Moonday.
Oooh, Moanday.
You come and you slay me.
Sunday is not done,
Not gone with the setting sun,
But there you are once more
Scavenging at my door.
A beggar with a broken smile.
You promise to be for only a while,
But your 24-hours pass
As if the sands stuck in the hourglass.
Oh, Monday.
Oooh, Monday.
Oooh, Moonday.
Oooh, Moanday.
You come and you play me.
I fall for your tattered lines.
I hope ruthlessly for the sublime.
But, Moanday, you are there,
A rumbled love I no longer share.
You once held such promise,
But now you are always upon us.
Hanging low over the weekend,
Always about to offend.
Oh, Monday.
Ooh, oooh, sad Monday.
I go to bed and sigh
As I wave the weekend goodbye.
Ooh, oooh, Moonday.
Ooh, oooh, Moanday.

“A farewell”
A farewell
A kiss. A cloud.
A farewell I say to you
my last sleep’s dream.

“Viewpoint”
Viewpoint
From a dog’s viewport, /
one dog to another,
summer is a rose.

“Reaching”
Reaching
The blue of evening /
cradles the quiet moon’s rise. /
Silent flowers wave.

“Early”
Early
Early are the winds /
when they are just a breeze /
building from a thought.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Tattered”
Tattered
The tattered bag flies, /
waving in the moment now /
and at the one past.
