“Meta”
At times I wonder
if my haikus will one day
be read as proverbs.

Almost Near the Near End: March Goals
February was pretty good for me. I’m about 100 pages from finishing Lionheart and have the makings of a draft review sitting in my dashboard.

Haiku Sunday – Coffee
“Coffee”
The foremost reason

Shakespearean Sonnet – (Secret) Love – SD
“Secret Love”
Obsidian hair tinged with red, like Blood Moon’s night,
Sways with every step of your bulldog swagger.
Sandstone-quarry eyes betray your pretty smile,
Refusing to let the faces see your fractures. Continue reading “Shakespearean Sonnet – (Secret) Love – SD”
Haiku Sunday – Interruption
“Interruption”
An annoying thing
Is to be interrupted
