Visions
I’m a rodent, you see. /
Not a weatherman, who sees. /
See the difference?

Haiku and photo: “Night visitor”
Night visitor
Ancient face abounds;
Deep into the night it shines.
See in darkness home.

Haiku and photo: “Start”
Start
Buds in mid-winter /
clutch to tomorrow’s promise /
within today’s cold.

Sunday silliness: “Chocolate cake”
Today is National Chocolate Cake Day and National Inane Answering Message Day or NIAD (Nigh-Add) for short.
So, go have a piece or two or chocolate cake and record this on your answering machine:
“I had cake. It was great.
Leave a message and I may relate.
Vanilla’s fine. Strawberry, too.
But chocolate’s the only one that’ll do.
Chocolate cake and chocolate frosting.
Chocolate from beginning to topping.
Leave a message after the beep,
unless you’re a salesman or some beep-beep creep.”

Legacy
Clouds and shadows painted /
With tints of winter sunlight. /
Bare limbs full of gray.

Photo finish Friday: “Failure”
Failure
Is their poetry /
in failure? Bleak winter sun /
pockets its promise.

empty into dawn.

Forget not
Let us not forget /
Those who define heroism /
By the rule of hate.

Fire far away
Sky fire far away /
beckons a tired winter day. /
Eternity rests.
