and the chase is on!

Misplaced Missive #31 – Shell
Blank ceiling silently staring down
at me
Lying motionless
lethargic
apathetic
static
It’s all white noise
Empty and colorless

No one loves the people they do
No one enjoys the path they choose Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #31 – Shell”

Haiku Sunday – Party
“Party”
All dressed up in clothes
adorable. We hope you
don’t spit up on them.

Misplaced Missive #24 – One More Year

But continuous comments and curses
Caused this crucial division
‘Cause you crossed the line,
One thousand times too many. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #24 – One More Year”
Haiku Sunday – Wonder
“Wonder”
We spent a morning
watching your eyes catch new light.
What do you perceive?

Haiku Sunday – Territory
“Territory”
Invisible lines
demarcating two driveways.
Do we need signs, too?
