“Delay”
Delaying one vote
and criticizing the same
is power gone mad.

Haiku Wednesday – Creativity
“Creativity”
Why write on writing
when the story itself glares,
demands attention.
Steve D
This is my lame excuse for not having a meatier post this week. I really just want to finish my short story. Hopefully, I’ll not waste this opportunity and have good news on that front next week.
Haiku Sunday – Chore
“Chore”
A menial task
becomes a temporary
escape from hosting.

Haiku Sunday – Putter
“Putter”
One thousand odd jobs
to distract from bigger tasks,
or one major change.

Haiku Sunday – Worn
“Worn”
Seams ripped, painted stains.
How much more can old clothes take
before they give up?
Steve D
Haiku Sunday – Oversleep
“Oversleep”
The hour is late
when the child peeks his head up
to say good morning.

Haiku Sunday – About
“About”
Familiar places,
unfamiliar surroundings.
New public order.
Steve D
We went out to a couple breweries today, and it honestly caught me off guard having to actively think about social distancing rules in a public space. I’m not against such rules at all — in fact, I’m really proud of how cautious the state of Maryland has been through this pandemic. It’s just strange to be out in an otherwise casual setting and have to rethink how I interact with people there.
Haiku Sunday – Respite
“Respite”
June humidity
gives way to pattering rain
and quiet respite.
Steve D
Haiku Sunday – Droplet
“Droplet”
Splattered and speckled,
like a broken salt shaker.
New paint on old clothes.
Steve D
Haiku Sunday – Avoid
“Avoid”
Distracting oneself
from doing what is required
only leaves a void.
Steve D
