“Rockies”
Fresh pine and smoked wood;
breathe deeply the mountain air
over scenic views.

Haiku Sunday – Returns
“Returns”
Some places don’t change.
Its people reunited,
reliving shared pasts.

Misplaced Missive #120 – Future Strangers and Never Again Friends
How long can we hold on,
To something so broken,
It no longer exists?
Something diminished to dust,
With all too quick fix ups,
Abrupt remedies, and
Corrupt intentions. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #120 – Future Strangers and Never Again Friends”
Haiku Sunday – Oops
“Oops”
A weekly habit
can still be ruined by a
scheduling conflict.
Somehow I managed to schedule my weekly haiku for yesterday, rather than today. So here’s a freebie.

known as Pre-Birthday.

Misplaced Missive #21 – Promises & Betrayals
I foolishly promised I’d always be there,
To look out for you, to listen, to guide, to advise,
And I’m trying so hard to simply be anywhere,
Struggling to find a way to more than survive. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #21 – Promises & Betrayals”
Haiku Sunday – Torrential
“Torrential”
Pouring from the sky,
rain bubbles on the ground, a
tub with a clogged drain.

Misplaced Missive #20 – Savior Liar
When I look into the mirror,
What do I see?
All the vice and all the need.
It’s a slow bleed
That feeds the hatred in me,
The evasion of pleas,
The casual cruelty of the free.

Draped in red, white, and blue.
An entreaty to a greater deity –
Make the image someone other
Than me.
Make me more than the colorful character,
I’ve pretended so long to be,
The one now wearing my skin permanently. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #20 – Savior Liar”
Haiku Sunday – Stroll
“Stroll”
The young pup races,
and old dog tried to keep up,
recalling his youth.

Misplaced Missive #19 – Pain
I
Promised to stop,
Swore it,
Knowing you thought it important,
But with fist or with mind,
The need remains
Inside. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #19 – Pain”
