I broke my promise.
I can’t move forward,
But there’s nothing to move back to. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #111 – Broken”

Haiku Sunday – Dig
“Dig”
The stubborn dirt clods
cling to the ground, refusing
to release. Dig in.

Midnight Depression Collection Pt. II
Delusions
God, I miss you.
I miss you. God.
You’ve hurt me in
Ways I could’ve never
Imagined.
I think I may have imagined
All the ways you hurt me.
It was never real,
If you were never real.
Can the fake leave you
Scarred? Continue reading “Midnight Depression Collection Pt. II”
Midnight Depression Collection Pt. I
My
Everything I used to write
Was either for you,
Or, later,
About you.
I cut you out of
My life. Continue reading “Midnight Depression Collection Pt. I”

“Awesome”
Faces familiar,
or not, but all are friends here,
a mutual bond.

Spring opens chilly,
but the beer garden is filled,
folks drinking the view.

Traveler’s Haiku – Milwaukee
“Milwaukee”
Wind streams downriver,
meeting empty salt pads, washed
away clean of the lake.

Traveler’s Haiku – Road

We plan our pit stops
with logic and certainty.
Nugget disagrees.

Misplaced Missive #207 – Icarus Wings
I wish I could write a happier song:
With a mellow melody and a catchy chorus,
But joy always leaves me voiceless,
And the lyrics feel like I’m forcing ’em. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #207 – Icarus Wings”
Haiku Sunday – Rosebush
“Rosebush”
Potent perfume nose
with mellowing citrus notes,
like a spring meadow.
The above is another one of our home infusions: Hendrick’s gin infused with dried rose petals. If you’ve never tasted rose petal-infused liquor, it’s basically just perfume. It’s potent as hell.
So i mellowed it down into a rather tasty cocktail:
- 1.5 oz rose petal-infused gin
- 0.5 oz Triple Sec
- Squeezed lemon juice
Surprisingly, the lemon juice works to cut down some of the perfume taste of the rose petal, and the Triple Sec and cranberry juice add just that little touch of sweetness required to balance the drink. It turned out to be refreshing and smooth.
Are you all enjoying these infusion haiku as much as I am?
