Haiku: Indwelling
I open my door
Sunlight shining through windows
A bright welcome home
Quiet peace fills me
Hanging up my old jacket
I sigh a deep breath
I’ve lived here five years
Made a whole new beginning
Yet things keep changing
The constant bedrock
This dear space occupies me
A promise secure
In response to Daily Prompt: Inhabit
Haiku: Pesky Nuisances
Pests have legs and crawl
Others meant to fly have wings
Bad ones bite and sting
But the worst of all
Can be found in human forms
Too many to list
Daily Prompt: Pest
Haiku: Hiding in Plain Sight
Bright autumn colors
Wait beneath summer’s green leaves
Jack Frost’s grand surprise
Dark tresses of youth
Age transforming to silver
Alchemy’s magic
Daily Prompt: Hidden
Haiku: Time Intractable
Fiddling on his roof
Puzzled amidst changing times
Tevye’s words still ring true
Can things stay the same
Honoring past treasured ways
Moving future-wise?
Roots traditional
Most beloved and revered
Bear new fruits in time
Daily Prompt: Tradition

Good Ship Lollipop
Shirley Temple all that jazz
Has already sailed

Soil cradles like womb
Life seeds fertile with promise
Blossoms of summer

Haiku: Warning
Porcupines, poets
Quills adept hurling sharp barbs
Humans be aware
Daily Prompt: Quill
Haiku: My Favorite Food Group
Luscious lemon squares
Decadent dark chocolate
Don’t get me started
Warm salty pretzels
Guacamole I yearn for
White wine and dark beer
Strawberries and grapes
Swiss cheese, feta or cheddar
Tasty together
Now about dinner
Must admit I’ve no room left
I filled up on snacks
