Haiku to you Thursday: "Now"

Covid-19 now /

Shelter in place this day: now. /

Tomorrow is now.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Resting birthday”

Frosting in the fridge. /

Cake unfinished on counter. /

Resting birthday.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Open and shut”

I opened my heart. /

You slammed shut the wooden door. /

Hard knocks all around.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Hangnail”

It’s gone to his head.

That’s what the foot doctor said.

Hangnail of the mind.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Old age”

Old age never ends. /

It lives like a thin shadow, /

Fattened by seasons.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Last”

If I were the last /

Would morning dew still matter? /

Asked the blade of grass.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Thunder”

Thunder bangs the glass, /

a beggar at the window /

demanding tribute.
