A touch of heaven

A touch of heaven

To Skype without dropping out

catching those we love

My body fails me

My body fails me
Therese falls, lies unbroken
Perhaps not this time

Chiropracting love

"Hands behind your head"
"How lean back - back against me"
Chiropracting love

July 13 Twinset

The folks who live at 11 Howard Street

Where's my follow-up?
Home business service falls short
Reservoir hippies

Chicago on July 12, 2013

River mulberries
Summer dusk, cicadas sing
Flashing fireflies

Carol Ruth Kimmel

Home

This house is my home
I think I'll stay forever
You are like my house

Flower

Growing midst the weeds
in the garden of my life
a rare flower - you.

Lunch

soup of self-pity
stir-fried melancholy
glass of 'suck it up'

Your music: so sad; so shrill
Hush now as I sing

Jeff Patterson

Little victories

Little victories
My body to overcome
My mind to conquer

The Queen is dead

So the Queen is dead
The king greets the gathered throng
Blood trail on the floor

Catherine Austin

Cool spray of water

Cool spray of water
Mists in the summer night breeze
Lawn plants drink, thankful

Jeff Patterson

Facing greater fear...

Facing greatest fear
And being greeted by Love:
Miraculous shit

Winter

Winter: a stiff neck
feels the season acutely
as well as my age.

A haiku about summertime

Summertime, life here -
Birds, cicadas, flowers sing -
Light, in full effect

Jeff Patterson

No more at peace...

No more at peace - or
Found or Better than before -
Still...I wash ashore

Jeff Patterson

An effective haiku

The adjective for
'efficacy' is not...
'efficus'.

Subconsciously...

Subconsciously
stockpiling soy milk
Suspect

My walk home last night

the moon lit my way
twas nearly full
will be winter soon

Jane Frances Fey

A haiku about proofreading

proof read all haikus
an extra syllable makes
a pretty poem

April Norcross

Mounting in public

Mounting in public
Young couple suck face in park
Making me hungry

PR

You make me look good
Your weblinks for my networks
PR you can't buy
