not yet

I'm not a poet yet
but hope is fading fast
that sanity will hold out
that reasoning will last

hurry up

(haiku)

slothful winter sun
will melt six inches of snow
sees no need to rush

war on drugs

(haiku)

"Suspect Still at Large"
probably a drug addict
addicts do bad stuff

writing my obituary

(haiku)

you won't read of me
"She died in her apartment
with her sixteen cats"

haiku for a January morning

(haiku)

frigid winter dawn
doesn't deserve a full
seventeen syllables


pedestal

for Barbara

(a haiku)


if you want the adoration
you have to be someone's goddess
it's a lot of work
