this artistic swirl
across an ancient lake bed
each SUV
a stylish badge of freedom
smells like dead planet
#tankaThursday - late 😢

A new day begins
The sun on its journey
no ticket required
to enjoy the ride
don't forget your jacket!
Feeling blue,
I look up
to the moon
my teacher
in the ink-dark sky
River running
green as grass
thunder, lightning
rain on the river
dancing
#TankaThursday #river
green rivers in the cracks
a jungle
in every alley
everywhere, sun
and dandelions!
#TankaThursday #dandelion
if psychosis is
narcissistic neurosis
then today's zeitgeist
would clearly be neurotic
in the time of psychosis

torrent of liquid
information pours into
my being, takes shape
of container, then trickles
from fingertips, mouth, and pores

All I know about love is this,
love doesn't stop
there is only more and more
the sky at sunrise
a flower unfolding
groundwork for Lego
skyline done with Tonka Trucks
a prolific build
then shenanigans began
forclosure made people cry

We took the tour boat
along the lake shore---
the city skyline
as the sun set,
everyone taking pictures
#TankaThursday #skyline
Across the bridge
they wait for us
everyone we love
the mist clears,
and they are waving
#TankaThursday #bridge
A haiku a day?
Erroring out the geezer stream
of consciousness way.
Still wordy rambles need to
take a weekend off to play
#tankathursday #weekend #tanka #haiku #craiyon
A weekend away
the cats will play
and one will hide
in the basement ceiling
elusive as smoke
#TankaThursday #weekend
humid, but cooler.
air, heavy on my shoulders,
grass, thick at my feet,
fraggy shardments of sun-fade…
I have never travelled light.

a hand print
on a cave wall
I was here
a footprint
in the grass
Shall I brave the rain
let fat drops sodden my clothes
plaster hair to scalp
let thunder vibrate my bones
raise damp earth's scent?
Not today

My brave throat was in
it's xeric era of days.
Dappled with dearth drops
of precious body fluids.
"One more for the ditch I croaked"

solitude of 3 am---
even my demons are dreaming
my thoughts turn to poetry
and passing clouds
the waning moon for company
#TankaThursday #solitude
soggy solitude.
waterproofs absorb deluge,
sponged, not washed away.
bog water soaks through both boots,
sleet hits, horizontally.
