Bonus Haiku (2 for the price of one!)

Wrinkled, smooth, supple,

Like sweet, purple-blue leather,

Dried plums of my youth.

Grandiose

Big words are blissful,

Like antidisestablish-

mentarianism.

Summer

Blueberries and figs,

Honeyed peaches and melons,

Sweet summer delights!

Sun. & Mon. Posts

For Sunday:

A joy shared is not

One halved or decreased at all,

Unless it's ice cream.

For Monday:

Unkind rejection:

No credit card because I...

...Have no credit card.

Double Haiku for Fri/Sat

Interesting how

Days of the week are assigned

Arbitrarily.

Monday or Tuesday,

Saturday no different,

Merely man's construct.

You're Never Really Done with Worksheets

Annoying tax forms,

I-9's and W-2's:

Worksheets for big kids.

"Silent Death," I'd Say Sarcastically.

In symbolic world,

Rain oft stands in for sorrow,

But what of snow then?

Time Slinky

Sometimes one wishes

Time could slinky UP the stairs

Rather than the norm.

Mondays

The stars still alight,

Monday morn and so forlorn,

Day begins so soon.

Of cabins and weddings

For Sunday:

Three-tiered and sugared;

Lace, silk, ruffles, and bustles;

Settings and bouquets.

For Saturday:

Cabin in the woods,

Nestled 'tween pines and by lake,

Set atop a hill.

In Limbo

Leaving for two days,

No internet connection,

Haiku on paper.

3-2-1

Three, two, one, fatigued.

Rolling to a stand. still.  stop.

Can't write one more line.

Odd Sight Seen

Southern Rebel flag

Stitched on the hat of a man,

He helps a black girl.

To the gentlemen at the stop light yesterday:

Electric shaver

Buzzing absently 'cross face,

A man in a car.

Unjustified rest

Carpet under me,

More comfortable than a bed,

When I ought to work.

Weary

Weary and time-worn

Like a river stone roughed round,

Improved through hardship.

Come home

Come home to me, Love,

Swiftly, Safely, and Smiling.

Eagerly await.

2 Days' Worth

For Today:

Star-bursts of moon-shine

And the twinkling ether lights

Debut, bright, post-dusk.

For Yesterday:

North Korea's 'Il,

International crimes and

Worse-than-careless rule.

New beginnings

First day at new school

Not too bad actually.

Wish for more summer.

Depressing

Medical System

Of the great red, white, and blue

Broken and not fixed.

Oops

Please let us pretend

It's still Monday.  I forgot

To post before 12.

#4

How can deep sorrow

When woven into music

Spread this sense of peace?

Poker dogs

Poker dog posters

Are absurd because dogs lack

Opposable thumbs.

#2

Men of our desire,

Casanova, Romeo,

Only good in print.

Beginnings

A haiku a day

This quest for pure amusement

My heart beats, "Why not?"
