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

We have lost our souls

Roses are red,
violets are blue.
Guns have more rights
than children do.
