Illigals
The Illigals live /
In a language foreign made /
On a patch misspelled.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Light”
Light
Within us is light: /
new as a summer morning, /
old as lost moments.

Poem and illustration: “Tilt”
Tilt
Do you run like Mercury? /
Straight arrow to the end? /
Is you love like Venus? /
Head over heals to begin? /
Are you a quarter way over, /
Mars tilted into battle? /
Or are you Uranus, /
Cockeyed like a rattle? /
Jupiter tilts only slightly /
As the mighty often do. /
Saturn, Neptune, and Ol’ Earth /
Bend as if they’ve had a few, /
Hanging out with Mars, /
Swapping stories, one or two. /
All the planets have stories /
And each an angle of repose. /
That includes Pluto, to whom /
Some have turned up their collective nose.

Haiku to you Thursday: “A part apart”
A part apart
Us apart, a part /
of us still locked down because /
of a lack of love.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Clattering”
Anger is a stone /
clattering for attention, /
never finishing.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Do not donut”
Do not donut
Oh, do not donut. /
Sprinkles or plain entice me. /
Homemade make it home.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Past present”
Past present
beauty in the light
raging from long ago.

Haiku to you Thursday: “When”
When
When I’m old, I’ll don /
a lavender sheet and stand /
in my cold decline.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Hand Placement”
Hand placement
My shifting hands say: /
See, speak, and hear no idea. /
Hands down, they lie.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Grip”
Grip
What has died reaches /
into what has yet to live. /
Holding and leaving.
