Guess what! With the demise of Word Catalyst magazine where I served as story editor, my time is free to post to my blog again. And now, I offer some haiku for you. I pulled these from my journal, randomly expressed, unrelated.
Times rushes past me
thumping, gasping, short of breath
leaving me behind.
January growls
while February looks back
at that windy glare.
Sun rays inviting
sultry flashes in between
or just a mirage
Thoughts glide like ships pass
sails ballooning with ideas
tenuous as air.
Drooping limbs dragging
verdant life yawns and leans back
blackening the night.
With bright-eyed laughter
a troubled soul shares its pain
outlined in black pen.
Distant voices chime
dowsing my thoughts with gold dust
born on winds from home.
