Photo finish Friday (and haiku): “Devil’s Future”

The machine answers. /

Your future it will bestow /

For a Devil’s nickel.

Haiku to you Thursday: “The Heavens”

Reaching for the stars /

I tripped over your full moon heart. /

The heavens were in your eyes.

The moon and the stars

Monday morning writing joke: “Body of work”

There once was a writer of note

Whose writing barely kept him afloat.

Good and bad

He was a naughty nautical lad.

His body of work had taken on some bloat.

Haiku to you Thursday (and photo): “The Road Less Taken”

The road less taken /

Rattles like a bare spring tree /

Only lonelier.

Bare tree silhouetted against the sky.

Haiku to you Thursday (and photo): “Read, Donnie, Read”

Savor every word. /
Turn the pages respectfully. /
Arm the mind and heart.

Monday morning writing joke: “Writer Extraordinaire”

There once was a writer extraordinaire

For the less talented he did not care.

Then one day

His ghost writer gave him away

And credit with his mom he had to share.

Photo finish (and poem) Friday: “Rain”

Rain and rising water
Photo courtesy of Chris Buice

As I sit out in the rain /

Pondering life all the same /

A pond appeared across the way /

Growing larger and larger throughout the day /

Until the time when night fell /

And I could not tell land from water very well. /

But as the sun rose, I will vouchsafe, /

It’s no fun being in a watery grave.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Binding”

The oppressing hand /

Binds through fear and not respect /

Embraces your hate.

To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize. --Voltaire
