Tied in nots
Be not what you are /
not, for being not earns not, /
and leaves only not.

“Lighting”
Lighting
Evening, show your hues: /
fading reds, oranges, blues. /
Night, embrace me, too.

“Dabbled thoughts”
Dabbled thoughts
Each snowflake a thought /
piled on the dappled stone bench. /
Soon gone in sunlight.

“Ghosts”
Ghosts
Lost green ghosts of spring, /
clothed frozen in winter white, /
await haunting warmth.

“Beguiled”
Beguiled
Beguiled by Spring’s smile, /
tight blueberry buds relax. /
Promises and hope.

Unbidden, Spring blooms, /
poking through neglect and pain, /
yellow and graceful.

Sunday silliness: “Wipe”
“Crap, you’re old,” said the person who gave a shit.
I, though, felt no reason to dump on the birthday boy. I wiped my hands of the situation.

Haiku and photo: “Winter rain”
Winter rain
I see you on leaves, /
lost tears of the winter rain. /
I see my rain, too.

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.”

Haiku and photo: “Goodbye”
Goodbye
Footsteps here and gone. /
What you hold you someday lose. /
What you embrace stays.
