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

The Daily Dread


Bohemian tart
Free spirited confection
Boho under glass



A festive sweater
Holly leaves and red berries
Holiday hairshirt


no holly berries
in the stew for you boho
you'll thank me later



With crown of holly
Boho - chic freewheeling ways
Profuse chick magnet
The season to be jolly
Ho Ho Fa-la-la-la-laaaa

The Daily Dread


In a lawless land
Even the heat on sinners
Has dropped to simmer



monogamous for
thee is monotonous for
the rich and shameless



tortoise and the hare
cocky bunny takes a nap
before job is done




Lies flash in the pan
Monotonous chimes resound
Truth set to simmer


A.I. image generated from haiku text of a tortoise and a hare.

The Daily Dread


Wondrous Biscuit bounce
Holiday expectations
Buttery fracture



Sad dark cloud tears up
Reaching quota rationed woe
Waterfall due soon



Something to behold
After years at the grindstone
Times left unfinished
Many, quick, apogee scores
By this diamond in the rough



Deep split fracture fare
Conjures full force waterfall
Hasty apogee

The Daily Dread


Fill the in between
From one brush stroke to the next
Fine art bleed through mix


current retrograde
prosperity successor
rotates regressor



Snowflake creation
Has roots in water vapor
That came from the ground



Successor brush strokes
Roots of each fractal snowflake
Make up my outlook

The Daily Dread


Phrazez that Payzez

Explicit comfort
Feasible joy

Gwyneth Paltrow hawks
Her personal star fragrance
In candle format ๐Ÿ‘ƒ



mesmerizing drop
gravity revealed what
garment once concealed




we're all complicit
in the illicit actions
taken in our name




want feasible joy
from an illicit drop of
fragrance of a star
a guaranteed wash over
of pure explicit comfort

The Daily Dread


her approach found me
bemused befuddled bewitched
left in that order



Eventually
Obsess plus focus drew you
To my influence



It was cow country
Artificial football turf stops
Cheerleaders grazing




Young Prince Charles bewitched
By watching Camillia
Obsess while grazing

The Daily Dread


everything's okay
until it isn't can be
a bit of a stretch



being correct gives
lIttle consolation when
dumpster fires take
all the oxygen away
from candles of decency



take breadth of a breath
remember the cool evening
we spent together



Focus on the breath
Stretch your awareness inward
Consolation piece
