when speaking beware
of placing the accident
on wrong silLAbill


Very happy Sunday and the Ragtag Daily Prompt is accident! I left my rental car for the day and came back to this: Sigh. No note. Hopefully no one hurt. Accidents do happen and interrupt our lives. This is minor except for phone calls and paperwork. I hope this is not a trigger and there […]

RDP Sunday: accident

Ridges


Ruffles have ridges
Kerfuffles on burned bridges
Unruffled snitches
Always end up with stitches

RDP Monday: UNRUFFLED

The Daily Dread


we replaced being
humble with glorified fake
reality stars



slender limbs entwine
bind me with tight enrapture
trellis tied love vine



prefer a good blow
of snow to a shimmering
sheet of cold wet sleet



value not blooming
on social media vine
is being humble

The Daily Dread


gratitude given
for being watched over by
machine's loving grace



Beacon of false hope
Lantern for lustful lechers
White House Bordello



happy holidays
when the hydrangea of hope
blooms for scant moments



It's with gratitude
that the drinking lantern lights
for all winter trolls

The Daily Dread


long night nectar quaff
prodigious ambrosia munch
satiated beasts



A Christmas exit
With a wink, lick, and promise
A glimmer of hope



a pinch of remorse
plus a sprinkle of regret
to make the angst rise



palpable regret
with dawn's first glimmer after
ambrosia frolic

A.I. image generated from haiku text

a pinch of remorse
plus a sprinkle of regret 
to make the angst rise

The Daily Dread


our sighs echo out
into the dim morning light
through open windows



Just remember this
It's not that I don't recall
Just don't want to tell



Fluttering outside
Just thought it was a dim moth
It was something else



moth eaten moral
fabric will only dim light
on faulty recall

The Daily Dread


memory held in
my private buffer is dear
to who I am now


missing the days when
the Wrigley Field ivy
was the main feature
not the slick corporate shill show
picking pockets of the fans



the clever swallow
flees a looming snow drift for
the southern sunshine
