Lost & Found

I lost my smile     &
found it
under
last year’s pile of                                       dreamsmisplaced.

I wear it now                       warm&mine

notforyou

to keep.

Rage Against the Machine

Continuous hum

leers uninvited, stage right

Red Envelopes

Ancient wisdom comes
in whispers soft and true:
red envelopes

One Day in Welly

Summer. I love you.

Now springtime rainy and cold.

One day in Welly.

Visual Haiku

Today’s post is a writing prompt.

In Chinese Astrology, the Rabbit and Rooster are rivals.

As this Rabbit year comes to a close, I wanted extend a proverbial olive branch to both of these archetypes to open up a friendly dialog.

If inspired, please comment below with your Haiku about how these two can resolve their differences and enter into the Year of the Water Dragon on more peaceful terms.

Guinea Pig and Cat

Are you still awake

or can I whisper now how

much you mean to me?

Anticipation

Water dragon year

such treats for me await           oh

anticipation

Midnight in Austin

Cat asleep on quilt.

Traffic whooshing by. Popcorn

almost gone.

Lioness

This cub I defend

with every breath I have

  on Sub-Saharan sand.

good, bad

good, bad
the coffee lady’s
smile
