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

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!

Halloween Triku
When 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
*

Morning Triku XXIVa
Confusion Says
Confusion is life
Befuddlement is wonder
If not – try harder
*
Enter
Seek to entertain
And be entertained seeking
Seek not and be not
*
What?
Write of what’s known?
Than to write would be easy
When one knew nothing

Morning Triku XXI
Awaken Flight –
Cocooned larva’s night
Silken rest for mornings light
Freeing wings of flight
*
Write Time –
I have read so much
about writing, I ran out
of my time to write
*
Drunk Love –
Alcohol is the
Mothers milk of orphans
Drink deep, die alone

Satisfaction~
No satisfaction
I can’t get your reaction
And I tried haiku
.
Tea Party~
Time for a feeling
Dreams of rock and roll tonight
Living on haiku
.
Walkers Way~
Please give me a kiss
Muffins don’t get down like this
Haikus reminisce
.

Morning Triku XIX
Chrysalis~
Immature I’m not
I’m a wise caterpillar
Not ready for flight
*
Steps~
Draft quick, edit well
Then rewrite at your pleasure
Step back and enjoy
*
Undone Unknown~
Sad poems unfinished
Fill time’s empty sheets with tears
Forever unseen

Only Haiku~
It’s only haiku
And I really do like it
I do, yes haiku
*
Songbird~
There are words I know
Sometime they have no meanings
Stairway to haiku
*
On and On~
Sing your haiku songs
Find the time for all your dreams
Now’s the time, ramble

Morning Triku XVI
Poetic Optimism
If money worthless?
Poets stay poor but with more
Paper to write on
`
Endlessness
Procrastination
Accomplished hastily
Ends prematurely
`
Ends
Procrastination
Untried soon accomplishes
Endless finished tries

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

Morning Triku XII
To Win
Debates are won by
not scholarly knowledge but
better debaters
*
To Sit
My favorite seat
Has no wings or down cushion
It’s with me always
*
To Die
Bad day, awful night
Headache, horrible life
Alternative’s worse
*

Morning Triku XI
Beginnings
If the week started
on Tuesday would we look
forward to Mondays?
*
Arguments
Arguments winners;
Often those who are loudest,
not always correct.
*
Night
All prey of the night
cling to artificial light
predators delight
*

Morning Triku X
Layers
Forests grow skyward
Rains fall and the sun shines down
The rest in-between
~
Imagination
Imagination
Is to conceive of what is
Inconceivable
~
Silence
Silence is broken
Lips flap loosely in the breeze
Duct tape fixes all
*

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
*

Morning Triku VIII
Poetry
Poetry creates
A Panoramic vision
With minimal words
*
Bloggergy
Bloggergy could be
Energy generated
By bloggers keyboards
*
Learning
To ask or ask not
To answer or answer not
To know or not know

Morning Triku VII
Morning
Woke today – all’s gray
Sunshine bright next to me lay
Gray has gone away
~
Children
Children born – then grow
For parents fast – children slow
Clocks tick – parents know
~
Chains
Chains that bond or bind
Two links needed for a bond
Only us to bind
~

Morning Triku VI
Rebirth
Leaves turn – time to go
Slowly green morphs to yellow
A new tomorrow
Learning
Seasons come and go
Thanks for the wonderful show
Something new to know
The End
I hear the truck roar
Destruction’s outside my door
But trash is no more
Sck082914
Morning Triku V
No-Ku
No Haiku today
Sunny thoughts all gone astray
Fog of yesterday
*
Ash
Coffee and a smoke
Hot ink burns paper beneath
fumes of wet ash rise
*
To
To live is to love
To love is to share your life
To share is to live
*

Morning Triku IV
Flight
To live is to walk
To love is to fly on air
To hate is to fall
~
Sunrise
Newborn head blood red
Futures grow, tomorrow’s shed
Day is born, night is dead
~
Writing
Morning pencil dulled
White to black, blank sheets now filled
Pages of discarded time
sck081014
Morning Triku II
My Love
A look, touch – A kiss
Hands, bodies – Tactile bliss
Love – Nothing’s amiss
~
My Friend
Heart strings stroked feel heat
Neck caressed long and sweet
Rhythm head to feet
~
Begin’d
How humans learned
They died for knowledge yearned
Trial and error’d
~*~

Morning Triku
Day
Red ball rising bright
Children play, escape the night
Natures’ toy of light
Flight
Birds high in the sky
Love to see them soaring by
I wish I could fly
Sneeze
Words infect us all
Shared unintended in breath
Haiku – gesundheit
