Haiku in the fall
Haiku in the fall. /
Stripped of ornamentation, /
words live sparingly.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Traveler”
Traveler
Autumn in shadows, /
Evening Sun slung low, early. /
Traveler departing.

Haiku and photo: “Time”
Time
Man made the time piece. /
Time’s moments make memories. /
The clock should not rule.

Dance
Breeze sets the tempo. /

Flag and shadow dance.

Sunday silliness: “Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude”
Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude
Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude
Spent the evening in camarad.
Eating birdseed,
Fists full of greed,
Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude.
Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude,
In raccoon fur they trod.
Into the night
They ate with delight,
Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude.
Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude.
Three raccoons in a pod.
Three peas after food,
Including suet crude.
Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude.
Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude
Were too inland to find scrod.
Eventually they left.
When a boom with some heft
Shooed on Winkin, Blinkin, and Claude.

Haiku and photo: “Wrinkles”
Wrinkles
Blue haired old lady /
Streaks of gray and white abound /
Wrinkles fold Earth’s face.

Haiku to you Thursday: “In one leaf”
In one leaf
In one leaf is all
the fall, and in one moment
is all of a life.

Haiku and photo: “Seeds”
Seeds
Autumn seeds descend. /
Winter’s cold underworld. /
Spring’s ghost whispers hope.

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: “Only”
Only
Halloween heart eek. /
She left me; I could not speak./
Only ghostly shriek.
