Yuunagi
evening lull
the steady creak – creak – creak
of the porch swing

Eeyore Drives a Minivan and Writes a Haiku
nobody notices
my windshield is a magnet

“This writing business. Pencils and what-not. Over-rated, if you ask me. Silly stuff. Nothing in it."

Speak soft-
petaled twilight
against my shoulders, tanned
and salty, from a day rippling
with sun.
Envelop me, with your mouth, cool
with mint and cucumber,
our purpling kiss,
perfumed.

Music Box River
The river sings a song for pebbles
from the bank of wild daisies, white.
I cast them in, with a grin,
and much to my delight,
it plays my favorite memories
of you and me and lavender
on honeysuckle nights.

Farolito
waning vigil
luminarias burning low
firefly prays on
