“In the wind”

In the wind

Wind muscles the clouds. /

Stripped limbs reflect off windows, /

dancing in the past.

“Threshold”

Threshold

Today speaks decay. /

Memory echoes the past. /

Threshold whispers, “Why?”

“Moment”

Moment

Future and past live /

in the moment called today /

as the iris blooms.

Photo finish Friday: “Dismantling”

Dismantling

Dismantling the tree: /

ornaments, lights, memories. /

Packing the past. /

No music to comfort me. /

Watch what the sock monkey sees.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Yesterdays”

Yesterdays

The snows of the past /

glaze into the ice of now, /

then leave us alone.

Santa giving out Halloween candy

Santa giving out Halloween candy

Happy Ho-Ho-Holloween!

From October 31, 2013.

A pirate and Mario green

On Santa’s front porch can be seen.

Oh, the memories from nine years past

May they give a smile that will last.

As the years raise, sails on the mast,

Sailing us to other shores, too fast.

To hold a moment in our hands

Is hard because of where we stand.

We want to be still, a rock on land,

But that is often not how it’s planned.

So, remember now all things seen,

Smelled, felt, and comforting.

Knowing most will be only a sheen,

A glittering moment from which we have been.

Haiku and photo: “Take a tour”

Take a tour

Your pass approved /

Visit a prisoner’s past. /

Your past approved.
