Photo finish Friday (and poem): “I whispered bye to you”

060118_Eleanor_tag 100dpi_6x5_4c_6370 copy

I whispered bye to you today. /

Cancer overflowing in you /

Aggressive as the tears from my eyes. /

There was nothing good in the parting /

Except the end of your pain.

Shrill tears

Guns clatter the ground. /

Clouds bulging with thoughts and prayers. /

Shrill tears from heaven.

Monday morning writing joke: “Tears”

A songwriter sitting at a bar tried explaining to the woman next to him why he’d given up dating.

“Did both sisters know you were dating the other one?” the woman asked.

The songwriter nodded. “At first, they both said: ‘cool, date all.'”

“Then?”

“Then it wasn’t. So I said I was leaving. Tina cried when I left, and so did her sister, Marge. I told them, ‘Don’t cry for me, Marge and Tina.'”

The woman poured her drink on the songwriter and she left.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Thunder jests”

Skyward, thunder jests /

a voice beyond placating /

rain and tears collide.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Water falling down”

Water falling down, /
stumbling over the moment, /
my heart lands in tears.

Whispers

Winds whisper your name; /
the letters catch on the grass; /
tears rain on the earth.
