From Ross to his Family on Valentine's Day

Roses are all red
I like Roses but you more
more than anything

Lindsay

a room full of toys
the one she chose to play with?
her bellybutton

one more night

Diagnosis grim.
pain too much for cat and me.
Tomorrow, she rests.




Little girl cat purrs
raggedly, facing away
already leaving

I stroke her soft ears
she twitches her tail, annoyed.
not time for tears yet!

Santa Writes Haiku

i'm itchy

oh my gosh i itch.
and itch and itch my dry skin!!!
winter must be here...

parking lot nature film

crouching by windshield
hawk tears raw flesh ignoring
car's rightful owner.

High Security Building

STOP. Show ID. Smile.
Now you are on record here;
you may go upstairs

lunch presentation
stranger walks in; does not eat
a stranger walks in?

how did she get here?
nobody knows who she is
sits biting her nails

shy to confront her
she might be from M-E-P
hoping for free lunch

progress

leg still unsteady
physical therapy helps
drove my car today!

Blasting Walnuts

black walnuts falling
squirrels take aim at car windshield
direct hit cracks glass

falling black walnuts
scare buyers off; garage sale
makes only six bucks

good friends come over
commiserate with our plight
help eat the walnuts

right now

iphone in my hand

Glorious Silence

I slid out of bed
ages ago, drove through the
dark muck to my work

Dark offices greet
I sit at my quiet desk
No boss yet, haiku!

Soon the drones file
in like disgruntled ants at
some crappy picnic

Apology

Ack! I'm so sorry.
Work, toddler, baby on way
silenced my haiku

None a good excuse
though true I must do better
my promise to you

where did you all go?

where did you all go?
no one blogs here anymore.
come back and blog please! :)

new obssession

the cat doesn't know
we're laughing out loud. But pics
don't need to hear us.

tired and happy heap of sleep

hotel room: three
boys, one girl all love music
booze and cigarettes

Yippee! Tomorrow
Is No Nutrition Thursday!
Feast away, my friends!

DWI
a wiry idea
Ohio icy

How To Stay Awake

how to stay awake
on long late night drives without
caffeine, write a haiku

Poor Wife

She slid on the ice
a purple cast to her leg
a shame she can't hike

political

Bumper Sticker says
Pray for Peace, so I ask you
Did you vote for Bush?
