“Quality”
Lounging together,
laughing as he grasps for fur.
This couch is too small.

Haiku Sunday – Chicago
“Chicago”
Tunnels and bridges
hidden among skyscrapers,
leading to the shore.

Haiku Friday – Decompress
“Decompress”
End of day tension.
Neck crack. Exhale — temple rub.
Hope for no emails.
I went to a conference in Chicago for work this week. The conference was a great experience, and I stayed in downtown Chicago and got to wander around a bit on Tuesday night. But after being stuck at Midway for 8 hours on Wednesday and dealing with canceled, delayed, and re-booked flights, I still felt like I was recovering on Thursday. This coming weekend is very much welcome.
Hence, the non-post 🙂

Haiku Sunday – There
“There”
Stare from the corner,
not vacant — paranoid, strange.
Is that really you?

Misplaced Missive #66 – Shout
Why can’t you see what we see?
The way he’s crushing you,
Beneath his self serving greed. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #66 – Shout”
Haiku Sunday – Ohiopyle
“Ohiopyle”
Wilderness tours,
designated swimming holes,
feeding this old town.

Misplaced Missive #63 – Childhood
She remembers telling herself:
“You’re too young to have to deal with this”.
He only taught her by the fist,
And she, the other, not her,
Saw nothing amiss. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #63 – Childhood”
Haiku Sunday – Merge
“Merge”
Minute particles
or lines of code filter, set
to become one whole.

Misplaced Missive #62 – Airplanes
For a moment, I’ll hold it.
Freeze the memory in mind
Of needs not negated by time. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #62 – Airplanes”
Haiku Sunday – Reset
“Reset”
The green light flashes,
the screen goes black, fading out
to return anew.
We visited my sister-in-law and her boyfriend at their new place in Philly, and I fully intended to post a related haiku this morning. That, obviously, did not happen. I didn’t even manage to take a picture while we were there. But we had a great time eating, drinking, and having fun with the baby and the dog.
