The Daily Dread



Face masked tricksters stomp
Halloween and every day
Up and down the block
Treats us to brutality
Play violent peek-a-boo



Enjoy special cosplay writhe served up on Halloween night.


We wriggle and writhe
Out of our trick or treat duds
Birthday suit playtime



Foggy night football
Nobody could see a thing
SOP for refs



Halloween night flight
Razor wire kite tail gleams
Watch bloody crowds writhe

The Daily Dread



Observe from afar
Stupefied into silence
The daily discourse


About time for golden silence to infect the occupant



Occasionally struck
By a stray ray of kismet
Causality queue
Affect a casual stance
While waiting for the effect



Three sheets to the wind
One maudlin Martini slurp
Follows another
A blizzard of bar coasters
Under turned over new leaves



a ray of reason
can break the maudlin silence
by turning new leaves



Phrazez that Payzez

Turning common misery
Into ordinary unhappiness
One day at a time.

I may not be a great marksman, but I once shot an ocelot in my slippers and pajamas. How that cat got into my pajamas I’ll never know. But the story always made Captain Spaulding drool when he entered through his stolen Groucho Marx joke portal.

The Daily Dread



surveying all the
desolate fallow fields
passing spring despair



Histories challenge
Exploring the rot within
That hid for decades



Forget-me-not don't rot-me-not under the soggy fallen foliage



Grizzled argent mane
Melanin crashing slowly
As the rot rises


Just hold your head up
Keep passing the argent spring
Autumn rot lined banks

The Daily Dread



watch inspiration
wither as the world intrudes
On my brain disk space



Red squares wither as brain disk defrag program runs



what began as an
experiment soon became
a new lifestyle choice



new horse wobbly legs
Like man chugging 40 ounce
Of Colt 45

A colt must first stand
Before it can take a run
At the old grey mare


experiment in
groan as each puffery piece
streamed for all to see
pride wither while prime dotard
is led about like a dog



Robert Oppenheimer
Felt he had become death
But I know
I have become cranky

The ginchiest

The Daily Dread



Calm before the storm
Enjoying the soft coolness
Of a caressing breeze



Hanging over all
The money shroud smothers truth
Gold calves aplenty



Abuse taught me to shroud intentions with indifference.



Caught the creep again
Court of paid for sycophants
Turn the other way



The shroud has been laid
Like a soft breeze corpse cover
Coolness and the Creep

The Daily Dread



Tears of joy I weep
As memories of you seep
Into dreams so deep



Ideological seep often leads to mission creep



Fireball in the east
Heliacal attraction
Guides another day



day to day view spew
time to put a halt to this
high tide of twaddle



heliacal force
puts a halt the high tide seep
moon dance surrenders

The Daily Dread



Enveloped in dusk
Evening Night Early morning
Sunrise finale



My sinister self only manifests from dusk to dawn.


Goad the gullible
Bang the terror timpani
Flock fleeced with dull shears



A long days journey
Swing into last call left them
Ripe for the picking


ripe nightshade slumber
vine swing or underground lurk
dusk bound terror traps


A.I. image generated from haiku text:
Goad the gullible
Bang the terror timpani 
Flock fleeced with dull shears 
Of a large timpani surrounded by a fleeced flock of abstract sheep

The Daily Dread



Sense all my haiku
Echo o'er the internet
Bouncing off bubbles



Our secret passions echo around our lives in our DMs



A caterpillar
Resolute life endeavour
Be the butterfly



As a Martian here
Landing in this weird strange time
I just have to ask
Is this what you all wanted?
Cause this is what you all got.



what I thought was my
inner butterfly flutter
was just an echo

The Daily Dread



lacking energy
to try and find a mountain
in a haystack now




the best abyss time
the worst abyss time sushi
raw wrapped existence



I just peeked into the abyss and the abyss peeked back #NoPeeking



mountain comes to me
I go to the mountain or
walk with a mountain

The Daily Dread



Saucer reflections
Like pansy petals reveal
An alien face
On the prowl for more subjects
Suitable for abduction



Interstellar grail
The frisbee flying saucer
Is headed our way



In the here and now
Maliciousness on the prowl
In crappy cosplay



Riffle sidewalk leaves on barren tree lined streets for October night prowl




My how you have grown
She said with a breathy moan
Eye flutter koan
