Haiku and photo: “Seeds”

Seeds

Autumn seeds descend. /

Winter’s cold underworld. /

Spring’s ghost whispers hope.

Haiku and photo: “The night”

The night

Horizon flares red /

Behind clouds smudged dark with night. /

Car travels film noir.

Haiku and photo: “Shadow”

Shadow

Shadow has no grip, /

but can hold you anyway, /

and never release.

Haiku and photo: “Bending”

Bending

Bending the daylight, /

Shaping the shadows, the bridge /

Spans more than water.

Haiku and photo: “Summer tastes”

Summer tastes

Summer tomatoes /

nurtured by rain and sunshine, /

turn time into taste.

Imagine, if you will…

Imagine, if you will…

Imagine, if you will,

A people so shrill,

They scream for their rights,

But are ready to kill.

Responsibility — not theirs

And they have no cares,

Except to fight,

When asked to community share.

To wear a simple mask

Is an onerous task,

And with all their might,

Many refused to get vaxxed.

They have their excuses

Or claim it’s all ruses.

It’s all government oversight

Or power abuses.

The hospitals are clogged,

And the cases are logged,

“Unvaccinated flight”

Leaves healthcare workers agog.

Now children are dying,

But GOP politicians are crying.

They say their dead right

To stop even trying.

Go get some invermectin,

Or your grandma’s canning pectin.

Take it tonight to fight

Left-wing insurrection.

It will rid you of parasites

And any sense of the real right,

Like civil responsibility,

To all lives: one and many.

Haiku and photo: “Know-where”

Know-where

Nowhere, you know me /

Alone in your majesty. /

Find you and you me.

Haiku and photo: “Nectar”

Nectar

Nectar-hunting bee /

Cares not a bit about me. /

I am unworthy.
