watching Loki fly on by.
Bet you can’t not smile.

Damned chickadees always move.

Changed my mind, love it.

nibbling the flower garden.
I’m happy to share.

on National Coffee Day.

The DMV is
filled with long lines and long waits.

everything my heart desires
the staring will cease.

dressed in shades of pretty pink.
These peas are not sweet.

Wildebeest’s tail’s gone.
He wore it with pride for years

Been a long week and
this dude’s tired is contagious.
Can’t stop looking, though.

Here are two cat butts
their feline heads gone missing.
Curiosity.

Am very sad now.
First, the story got to me
then I read update.

Siblings know the past
and can help chart the future.
Now, they offer love.

Even in cow dung
one can find grace and beauty.
Still, best to steer clear.

I know how it looks
dead bunny flung on the lawn.
Nope. He’s just chillin’.

Son went to Norway
had an equine encounter.
True hairy eyeball.

like going to the dentist.

Removed wall hanging
and all the clutter on top.

More room for my thoughts.

Friday Haiku

Bad hair day, dead eyes
some days are worse than others.
Attitude counts, yo.

Bikes are in the streets
some cars are on the sidewalk.
Hello, Amsterdam.

Sparkle in its brightness

Hornstull, Stockholm

The world is full of poetry.
The air is living with its spirit;
and the waves dance to the music of its melodies,
and sparkle in its brightness.

They unfurled their blooms
then snow fell like wet cement.
The iris prevailed.
