“From many”

From many

From many, one drops /

Earthward, away from the sky. /

No seeds in the sun.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Posed”

Posed

Posed for the decline /

of man, the cat climbs the tree /

after starlings and stars.

“Happy Eve”

Happy Eve

Happy Triskaidekaphobia Eve

To all who practice and believe.

Beware now that sidewalk crack

For you may break your mother’s back.

You’ve probably already broken her heart,

With your non replies or answers smart.

So she has now visited upon you

This Friday day over which to stew.

The Ides of March did Caesar in,

His conspirators waited until the middle to begin.

But this Friday and this thirteen

Stabs without antagonist seen.

There is always one and up to three

To torment you, to not let you be.

So, gird your loins and be on your guard,

Lest you be hoisted by your own petard.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Room”

Room

This Earth /

with all its old tragedies /

still has room for me.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Dad joke, number 2”

Dad joke, number 2

A dad joke, you can /

always tell, but never can /

you tell it, “Can can.”

Haiku to you Thursday: “One day”

One day

One day, we will leave /

our decrepit homes. Maybe /

then ourselves will fly.

Senryu to you Thursday: “Stains”

Stains

Emptying your /

old pockets, I find dead masks /

stained with your phlegm.

Rain

His heart falling, /

old man at the corner /

of the sky, crying.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Sun—.”

Sun—

Sun— fading light and /

flower too soon meet their fall. /

Seeds of night and death.
