Haiku to you Thursday: “Olympic rings”

Olympic rings

Golden, deep fat fried, /

Round signs of Spring — Onion rings. /

Olympic pleasure.

Haiku to you Thursday: “New world”

New world

We will build beauty /

When we make our new world. /

And plant our ugly.

Haiku to you Thursday (and photo): “Thieves”

Thieves

A thousand thieves may /

rip the jonquils from the ground /

but they can’t steal Spring.

Haiku to you Thursday (and photo): “Spring”

Spring

You came unannounced. /

Arising quickly in March. /

Blooms and promises.

Poem and photo: “Covet-19 Blues”

COVET-19 Blues

The feeling that you get,

When someone you know is let

In line in front of you.

You are not a high risk dame

Or a gunsel of the same,

But it is a crime and shame, true.

You want to get the stick,

Feel the vaccine do its trick

And tell the virus, “Screw you.”

You’ve waited patiently,

A patient you don’t want to be —

It is worse than the flu.

Then this feeling you get — mean,

Some call it COVET-19,

Because a friend beat you through.

Hey, we’re of the same young age.

We ain’t old enough to be a sage—

So screw you, too.

You say it when no one’s there.

It’s a feeling that you dare not share,

This COVET-19 Blues.

Haiku (and photo) to you Thursday: “Persevere”

Persevere
Perseverance quests /
Outward on Mars to explore /
Our questions within.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Life”

Life

Life is sorrowful/

But fool that I truly am /

I love you, always.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Shadows and sky”

Shadows and sky

Sun climbs to freedom. /

Shadows take root in morning, /

Growing toward blue sky.

Haiku and illustration: “Double Parked”

Double parked

Into the heavens /

Word sprang forth from the earth: /

“You are double parked.”

Haiku to you Thursday (and photo): “Truth”

Truth

Digging up answers /

Is just like digging up bones. /

Results we’ll bury.
