Haiku to you Thursday: “First fright”

He reached the road’s end. /

He stepped into the unknown. /

The first fright was love.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Scatters”

Lightning, thunder, rain — /

wind scatters all that remains: /

memory, leaves, love

Haiku to you Thursday: “rain … leaves … love”

Lightning … thunder … rain /

Wind scatters all that remains /

Memory … leaves … love

Haiku to you Thursday: “You and the World”

When the world’s empty /
and holds no love, you will have /
evolved to your Hell.

cARtOONSdAY: “rOZEZ ARE rEAD”

To Zombie, with love.

Zombies and Valentine’s Day

Undying love

by David E. Booker

Stolen flowers; stolen moments
Of these things I am a proponent.
Human heart upon a chair,
Fitting complement to your candy ’wear.
Office supplies, engraved utensils;
Box of dead chocolate, bundle of thistles.
Your preserved nipple tattooed o’er my heart.
It’s not a good one, but it’s a start.
So now I sit and wait, a zombie for your love
As I pluck the feathers of a very disgruntled dove.

A feather for your thoughts.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Insinuating”

Green was once my love, /
pliable to the moment: /
Insinuating.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Love in the folds”

Love is an art form /
tucked deep into a book’s fold: /
read, forgotten, dreamed.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Heart”

Take apart my heart:
blood vessels, valves, and muscles.
Your love beats there still.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Holiday feast”

The meal and the grace,
the sustenance and the hope,
each handled with love.
