My streams of thought meet here
The Ragtag Daily Prompt this morning is FROST
and here are two mini verses in response. Not quite haiku. 🙂
frost-dusted scarecrow shelters a chickadee under his collar a friend in need a thick frost glistens on the lawn my cat sits at the window rethinking his dream of mousing this morning
key under the mat universal self-delusion
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
parking lot valet
a well groomed magpie
cleans my grill
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
tender little dove
how that peregrine ogles
your plump breast
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
all those remarks
she should not have made
beetles in the rice
The Ragtag Daily Prompt this morning is SUMMER FUN
Well, I’m looking out on a white world and watching more snow come down, so I’ll have to draw from memory’s pages — or scribblings. On Sunday evening I opened a tub that’s been stored away for awhile. This is my “finish and polish someday” tub. I dug through various scribblings and pulled out a number of half-baked poems to work on and post later. I’ve decided to type everything onto computer files ASAP, just to get rid of the paper clutter, and work on them as I have time.
Here are a few micro-poems that fit the SUMMER FUN category:
My best effort
to join the wren
in joyful melody;
sadly my tune
just hasn’t the wings!
morning light
Venus and a sparrow
share the bird bath
moth floating
in the bird bath
no life jacket
in this wind
even the young lord’s kite
bows
today she squats
among the old women
scrubbing work shirts
in the soapy water
bubbles and dreams
float downstream
Going through and editing some of my old scribbles today. 🙂
sand-trapped footprints
not a even shadow left
to say who passed here
just me, wondering
and the ever-washing tide

The Ragtag Daily Prompt this morning was VANQUISH
sun’s golden spears
vanquish moon and stars
triumphant new day
And here’s a haiku I wrote a month ago, after visiting our church’s parking lot. Call it a post- COVID verse:
once vanquished
poplar sprouts take back the land
no parking these days
The Saturday Six-Word Story Prompt was PEACE
So here’s a response that incorporates both:
Aggravating fly vanquished
Peace restored. Momentarily.
