Leaves and lovers

Sunlight and shadow, /

momentarily lovers: /

leaves and trees and time.

Haiku and photo: “Time”

Time

Man made the time piece. /

Time’s moments make memories. /

The clock should not rule.

Photo and poem: “Not a curse”

Not a curse

Get vaccinated. Wear a mask.

Neither are difficult tasks.

Do it for yourself and your friends to see.

Show compassion and responsibility.

It’s not a trick and it’s not a shame.

Treat yourself and others the same.

Kindness and courtesy are not a curse.

Being sick or dead would be far worse.

Rise up now and do your part.

A mask and a shot are moral places to start.

Poem and photo: “Oh, my balls…”

Oh, my balls…

Oh, my balls are a tangled mess /

Clattered together like a car wreck compress. /

Oh, my balls are twisted tight. /

Not really painful, but oh, what a sight. /

Oh, my balls are dangling there /

Unable to move in the moaning air. /

Yes, my balls are one big wad. /

They’d be blue if attached to a bod. /

But thankfully, they’re just hanging there, /

Bunched up on their rack without a care.

Empty bumble bee seeking. /

Shadow and light fall.

Haiku and Video: “Threads”

Threads

Threads

We dangle by threads. /
Bloomed and unbloomed, each wet and /
Waiting on the wind.

Hanging

Some mornings don’t work. /
You try your best to succeed /
But you can’t hang on.
