Haiku to you Thursday: “Golden Hour”

Golden hour

Golden hour fruit /

Picked as the sun declined and /

your memories rose.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Pumpkins”

Pumpkins

Orange rounds herald fall. /

Volunteers grown in front yard. /

Evening sun accents.

“Tunashamed”

Tunashamed

Yes, I have been tunashamed.

They descended upon me like ranchers with mange.

They said stop eating that fish, you fool.

Beef’s the only golden rule.

A burger now, a meatloaf later.

Or you’ll be eating exotic gater.

A steak to the heart is the way to go.

This even a vampire knows.

An eye of round, a pound of chuck.

Such cuts of beef will bewitch your luck.

Tender as a filet mignon

Can warm your loins when the nights are long.

No deer, no rabbit, no pheasant will do

When you make a manly stew.

Yes, I have been tunashamed.

I wear the sticker; I can’t complain.

I must do my penance now,

So that later I can eat the cow.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Song”

Song

Listen to fall sing.

A dirge for descending leaves

or a hymn for snow?

Haiku to you Thursday: “Menu”

Menu

The cat food did not /

say, “feeds raccoon,” but one came, /

ate, and left the cat.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Clock”

Clock

Clouds gambol freely, /

shapes and raindrops marking time. /

Clock ever changing.

Skin

Every fourteen days /

you shed into a new skin. /

You: you are, you were.

“Hints”

Hints

Fall is dropping hints. /

Yellow, brown, red, orange notes. /

Winter whispers: “Yes.”

Haiku to you Thursday: “City”

City

Green near, blue far back. /

Mankind’s river flows between /

concrete, trees, and dreams.
