11/7/2023 – what is become of the world
Humdrum and half-baked, life-bereft
A stopped song, canvas set to flame
11/6/2023 – a haiku
Readily I wake
Prepared for a wondrous day
That then disappoints
11/4/2023 – at odds
My mind and body seem to be at odds
They make me question if they’re truly one
11/3/2023 – wintersong
The days shorten
As the sun grows distant
And the noises of a frozen earth
Begin their earthen symphony
Rustling
Cracking
Dripping
Howling
And I listen
As I slow
Until year’s dawn
11/2/2023 – a haiku
She sits on me, purrs
And somehow all my troubles
Feel they’re far away
11/1/2023 – none/overmuch
I write and write and write and write
And wonder at the endless white
Of canvasses I’ve yet to touch
When it still feels I’ve written overmuch
10/31/2023 – nature web
The bird sings to me
As it sings to the tree
The tree, which holds the bird
The bird flys by me
As it flies by the squirrel
The squirrel, which plants
The tree, which holds the bird
The bird eats a worm
As it eats of the seeds
The seeds I have left for it
In hopes that it will sing to me
As it sings to the tree
10/30/2023 – a haiku
The boughs have gone bare
The ground is littered with leaves
And the wind wails high
10/28/2023 – in between
Shadows threaten
They stand at the gates
They whisper through the windows
They mock and jeer
Must I listen?
Must I submit?
Or must I learn not to hear?
Or is there an in between?
