Time to take a break
Income tax and travel done
Day belongs to me
Sinking into peace
Precious gift a golden glow
Living in the now

Haiku: Recycling Energy
A little brown box
Arrived at my door smiling
Oh goodie! it’s here
Got scissors unwrapped
The new book that I ordered
I’ll have a good read
But first a duty
For healthy environment
I must recycle
Cutting with scissors
Dismembering brown cardboard
Workout for muscles
Haiku: Ostrich No More
Poet in me slept
Escaping circumstances
Of a world gone mad
High time to awake
Stir my juices, let words flow
With my mighty pen
Haiku: Pulse of the Times
News is disturbing
Hate and meanness unrivaled
Vile anger spreading
Fearful yeast rising
Malicious lies ore’ taking
Strained arc of justice
Tanka Challenge #23 – Help and Smile: Belle Vs. Rehab
Arduous rehab
Sparring partner for life force.
Belle won and came home.
Foreboding thoughts turned to smiles
Shuffle, play cards for this day

Modern Immortality
Today as I went out the door
A friend of mine was coming in.
She pushed a cart filled with lush plants
And plush throw-pillow rainbow-hued.
She told me a friend who died left word
For her to choose some things
To keep as cherished memories.
The green house plants would live for years
The pillow soft would comfort her
But one more thing, my friend told me,
Will indeed outlive us both.
I have the emails that we shared.
There is new immortality
Promised us by cyber space.
Thanks to Enid for inspiration
