The launderette had a pet – a python large was she
It was amazing where – when she did appear –
The places the customers would quickly flee

Distraction

Diversions plain and simple – really nothing more
To distract a crew impatient – from running off to shore

I’m running late
Guess it’s time to levitate

Warning!

Heed this warning, don’t go ahead
Do not enter, once this sign you’ve read
The last guy who ignored it, on a landmine tread

Apian harvester – a community to feed
Liquid elixir to gather – pollen to spread
A matter of duty – to meet Queen’s need

inspiration call
Rushing towards home
Amid rolling hills of play
Sandwiches await
Nocturnal kisses
And intimate embraces
Sweetest dreams indeed
Written for Heeding Haiku With Chèvrefeuille, January 15th 2020, sweet dreams
Left behind in death
Brokenhearted now to mourn
Alone – grief to bear

Features perfect – though they be small
She is their everything, her parents’ living doll

Dawn breaks above waves
Waves break upon quiet sands
Bathers still abed

Legion they were, and Legion they fell
Cast into the swine herd
They went back to hell

The Contessa
The sea seemed calm now
Unlike the night before
The sinking of Contessa would become a thing of lore
Three Line Tales, Week 195 24 October 2019
Spring-tide forest walk
Blaze of cerulean blue
Nature’s glory greets

Wilting – Discarded
The carefully carved pumpkins
All Hallows now past

The songs that lifted us –
The tunes that made us cry –
Now relegated to a second hand buy
