Good Junk

Being resourceful

Is discovering new things

when down in the dumps

Morning Triku XIV

Daylight Savings

Daylight saved for whom?

Sunlight gone when needed most

Autumn afternoon

Morning

Milk slime on coffee chilled

Cloudy air thick – Ashtray’s filled

Frozen words – Time killed

Itch

Pain and Desire

The itch when scratched itches more

Only time relieves

Ahead of the Curve – Morning Triku

Circuitous

Yin and Yang’s never
just black and white, but it is
always circular.

~
Foresight

With age comes brighter
introspection, for the dark
is to near sighted.

~
Just a Peek

Know thyself, climb high,
peaks fleeting, limits unknown –
unless exceeded.

Morning Triku #138 – Ends

May the Force be You

Seeing the bright side

can only enlighten the

time on the dark side

Red Read

The final haiku

will be writ large in the blood

of mankind’s silence

Day Dreaming Nightmare

If you’re the one of

my dreams how can I ever

believe you’re real

Morning Triku #175 ~ Second Period

Choose Choice

Life’s multiple choice
Our answers lessen with time
Questions grow harder
~

Schooled

Fears prevail feared
Tomorrow’s today’s earned
All will rise, some learned

~
Chances Are

Life is bad when sad
Or grand when on clouds we stand
And glad for the hand

Morning Haiku XXII

River Art

Sands paint stony face

Dancing rock and boulders sculpt

Drawn to waters fall

Sad-Day

Sadness is waking

To the realization

It’s still yesterday

Bad Taste

Bottled hate ferments

Corks blow, froth spews and lips stain

Always vinegar

~*~

Sck110114

Oh Well – A Triku

Murky waters swell

The acid rains burn like hell

Drinking waters smell

Little time to dwell

Food not eaten from its shell

A parched final knell

Seas rise, all to fell

The bottoms dry in the well

Well’s no more – Oh well

~*~

sck030615

Rush to Fall

When the last leaf falls

the tree will still be a tree

Only time has changed

~*~

sck102415

Time to Mend

Summer’s soon to end.

Autumn’s just around the bend.

Warmth’s shared with a friend.

~*~

Poem

Fledglings flee the pen

To graze parchment fields lush

Blossoming mature

Morning Triku 40

Weighty Thought

If every cloud

Had a lining of silver

We’d all need helmets

Cobwebs

To know is not to

Remember but to recall

Events correctly

Untimely

Birth’s in an instant

Life is never long enough

Yet death infinite

Morning Triku XXIX

Smith’s Askew View

Pyramids on point

Exposing many, shades few

Capitalist view

Lacking

People who know all

Are people who are lacking

Imagination

Contrasts

Chilly, soggy, gray

Golden leaf beneath our feet

Foggy autumn day

Sck111214

Memorialization

Good memories keep,

let the bad fade – then there’s room

for when better’s made.

Infinite Illusions

.
When perspective seen;
the end is always the point.
Horizons never end…

Morning Triku #41

Caution-

Image in mirror

Is milliseconds older

upon reflection

A Positive Negative View-

When sunny days dark

Negative ink shades dark light

Starry nights all’s bright

Prepoetry-

A poet’s muscle

Sculpted one word at a time

A very long time

~*~

Morning Triku IX

Early

Too early to rise

Yesterday’s still in my eyes

Please turn off the sky

Chill

Morning chill alas

Open windows, smell of grass

Summer’s soon to pass

Past

The first school bus ride

Little faces pressed on glass

Good bye to the past

Sck090514

Goose Bumps

The water’s warmest,

air’s often not, late summers’

precarious spot

~*~

Morning Triku #148 ~ All Natural

***
Branches

Nest wove, strong as wood.
Wings spread, nature’s understood.
Life hatched, all is good.
**

Leaping

When goals seem distant
aim higher for the long shot.
There’s little to lose.
*

Fate’ Accompli

Not normally a
believer in fate, although
it keeps happening.

Morning Triku #152 ~ Smelling Roses

~*~
Up’s Never Out

People that step up
to the plate will hit a ball
eventually.

~
Double Crossed

To veer is human,
true’s divine, paths do follow
the width of your line.

~
Crack Heads

Climbing the ladder
of success, the ass ahead
usually kissed.

Morning Triku XXIVb

Cooked Info

Making decisions

With half the ingredients

Is always half-baked

The Other Side

Coins have two faces

Heads and tails denominate

Middles fill the slots

Sweet Lava

Melting into sea

Colors and flavors for all

Neapolitan

Morning Triku #153 ~ Solstice Surmises

~*~
Go Time

The longest day’s here.
The sun’s warm and the night short.
Cold hearts have no place.

A Bushel of Pecks

Chemistry is the
solution to inertness
and explosiveness.

Fanatical & Finesse

Zealotry only
require zealots but not zeal
necessarily.

Morning Triku #157 ~ Total Nonsense

~*~
Hot Headed, Wet Footed

A bridge burned today
May be the bridge needed to
Return tomorrow

~
All and Nothing

In an infinite
Universe nothing can be
Random when all is

~
Totaled Recall

I can’t remember
If I’ve ever forgotten
Anything at all
