Bastille Day

a silvery curtain
of fireworks rains over
paris - vive la france !

Full Circle

heaven in my arms
clouds in my coffee
palm trees on my mind

the fountain of youth
bypassed this goddess
of the red desert

drinks at the jazz cafe
duke ellington wails the blues
on a summer night

honeysuckle thrives
by the ancient road
over the hill special

Screen Door

 carpe diem haiku kai

morning surprise
a breakfast visitor
desporting himself

binary wad flagstone socket hour
message sicken tiptoe emanation sluggish

humming silly tunes
in binary form
chewing a wad of gum
tiptoeing sluggishly over the flagstones
a bit worse for wear


she reread the sickening text message
received an hour ago
imagined the leer
emanating from his cruel  evil face
mentally told him to
SOCKET !

Whoops !

chevrefeuille's puzzle haiku

soaking wet
i can't read the letters

Sunday Whirligig 15

deep bathe loll dialling wrathful fingers
drifting shattering shady parking prance posts





lolling about
in the deep waves
drifting with the tide
prancing bathing in the seaweed
fingers wrinkled
looking back at the striped posts
in the parking lot
the shady parking policeman dialling his cellphone
wrathfully writing a ticket shattering the moment
