Haiku for dinner
Off the beaten trail
Touts a diner’s blinking sign
Best blue-plate special

When fiction is not …
Read all about it!
This is a story of freedom, risk, and unspoken truths; a time before and after the American Civil War and the eradication of the Aboriginal people in Van Diemen’s Land (today’s Tasmania).
Tanka time
Old Mamalulu
Unfolds her chair at the park
And waits for nightfall
The stars don’t care where you live
That’s the kindness of nature
Good cheer
Melancholy cure
Take a teaspoon of happy
Repeat once a day

Food for thought

Brief encounter
Iris slips into royal colors
Her petals a fleur-de-lis
For a brief encounter
She makes her entrance
And then gently drops away

Memorial Day
Memorial Day
A National Day of
Remembrance for our fallen military.
A Day of mourning
A Day to give thanks
It is a Day to honor
Our fallen heroes
who sacrificed their lives
for our freedom.
So I ask…
How many more lives
will be lost before we finally
stop having wars…

Poem for the day
Do you see me
the same way,
As when we were young?
No, says he,
You are like fine wine…
So much better.
