Friday Haiku

We’re twins, Honey Bear
our heads filled with sticky thoughts
better smeared on toast

childhood friends guarding
my books, some written by friends
I Go Pogo, yo

Hospitals scare me
but a friend needs me today
Faking brave for her

Stretching out the neck
before stabbing the next meal
Self-care important.

If only I could
punch today’s howling wind in
the face just like this.

Found in a pasture
Made no difference to them
Whether seen or not

Hey, know what that is?
Butt-end of a Red-tailed Hawk.
Yeah, I know. Bad pic.

My sister’s beagle
temporarily off scent
in stare-down with self

Bouquet from the spouse
They’re beautiful, says Tracy
Cat food, says Loki

A feathered swimmer
at home in sky or water
adaptable bird
