Winter Solstice Awakening

Even as the tipped earth

slips into grim winter

her sleeping soul startles

sensing the subtle shift,

this first sweet stitch

in Spring’s

finespun tapestry.

pumpkin haiku - Nov PAD day 30

Pumpkin’s on back porch

making space for new décor.

Lights and tinsel reign.

It’s Catching (On) - - Nov PAD day 29

It’s Catching (On)

Stop this cough, sneeze, sniffle,

wheeze, snuffle, spew

of cold words over everyone.

Cease the spread of heated hearsay,

transmission of infectious fever,

epidemic of vitriol over all

within reach of your virulent,

virtual voice.

Rather, offer up a muffler

to keep the wintry chill at bay,

umbrella, raincoat and rubbers

against the frigid, bitter squalls.

Let’s infect everyone instead, 

with a contagious case of

the most communicable

kindness.

I Want a Mulligan - Nov PAD day 28

I Want a Mulligan

I don’t care what you “winners” say.

It’s not supposed to end

this way.

The “villain” shouldn’t

get away

with everything

(he surely will).

It made you sing.

(It makes me ill.)

I want a do-over.

Let’s take two.

(I’m sure that that’s alright

with you?)

Just one more chance

to get it right,

before we say,

“That’s all,

good night!”
