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

I
All Hollows’ Eve
.
Ghost’s haunt, zombies flaunt,
monsters walk with you and I.
Sun’s rise all will die.

II
Tricky Treat
.
Full moon, rustling feet,
Trick-or-treaters rule the street.
Sweet tithes strangers greet.

III
Sweet Irony
.
What’s the best and worst
of a great Halloween glut?
Death by chocolate!

Trick-or-Treater’s loom
Haunting night of Mother’s gloom
Ghosts in sugar tomb
*
Silver ball in black sky
Inviting us all to die
Wake not – never cry
*
Night’s end – Day’s arise
Laughter, whispers, silent cries
Time is our disguise

Spell-ing
Halloween’s at night,
why a holiday? It should
be a holi-night.

Boom
Halloween weekend,
energy beyond compare.
Candy for breakfast.

Ortumnal
Autumn is calling,
it’s voice crackling underfoot,
chilling in context.

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.

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

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

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

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

Good memories keep,
let the bad fade – then there’s room
for when better’s made.

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

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

Treble
With the dawn comes light.
We revolve to kiss our star.
With dusk we devolve.

On a blue planet,
everybody gets sad.
When left in the dark.

From the earth all’s born.
Toil and frolic to survive.
As the earth we rest.
