...travel...

(CD special 120/ 21.4)

Their watching faces,

as I walk the autumn road

make me a traveler.

following the sand path

circling around this mountain

I feel like an eagle

yesterday so far

I traveled, not leaving home;

busy grandchildren

...temperate...  

(CD sparkling stars 14 / 12.4)

Ocean tide ebbs

Sand glistens with sea treasures

Lucent blue beach glass

walking along the beach

following the tracks of a hermit crab -

Ah! That salty air

© Chèvrefeuille

dreaming of warm sand

kissed by temperate sunshine

we long for our time

away from the harsh winter

away from the domestic

reckless (MLM Haiku Ha: social issues)

reckless

(12.3-social issues)       

all my milkweed has

gone to seed...company

for the wind          

the breadth of ones sins; too wide

stoning - sympathy sidelined

until the tables turned

his blood diseased, seed dried

the end of his line

©JP/dh

Note: Prejudice is on any count is awful. The first haiku was part of a response

to a post for my friend Jen. But the seed part got me thinking about Aids. Since

National World Aids Day was December 1st. And how those who first proclaim

the disease selective and associated with evil change their tune when they by any

number of methods contract the disease and then want all the help they can get.

spinal tap CD GW 36

spinal tap             CD GW 36 haiku noir (12.2)

chalk lines flickered red

and blue along with the neon

words; empty and dark

at that hour the diner was

almost empty of gawkers

the witness shivered,

black cup of joe brought no warmth;

robbing her lipstick

she hadn't seen anything;

and local Leo’s believed her

I could read crime scenes

and faces; and she was an

open book to me

I just had to read between

the lines to get to the truth...

companionable (haiku set) CD 617  12.2

1

spoon, forks and knives drop

tells company will arrive

old wives tales delight

2

grand-children’s laughter

my daytime companions

yet I wait... for yours

3

lost autumn sighs fade

yet the moon still romances

warming the night sky

in such a unique way; moon

is caressed by the sun

...finite sun... (12.1 CD 616/b)

...finite sun... (12.1 CD 616)

gone not forgotten

memories shout silently

oxymoronic

each day a finite

sun reaches an apex in

someones day somewhere

oxymoronic

that we depend so much on

that which is finite
