When I stepped outside
I felt the breath of Hades
Tempting me to hide
Run, run, run away
From the U.V. burning rays
Of the mid-day blaze
To or from unknown
Slipped there and through the backdraft
Of love, hell and back

Red silk kimono
Attracts the morning humming
Bird to my shoulder
Perhaps, it wasn’t
The flowers or bright colors,
But the sweet center
When it rains it pours
Four in the morning
Rain beats the windows and doors
Battering my heart ❤️
Till emotions are pouring
Issuing flash flood warnings ⚠️
Game Day
A familiar score
Belts The Star-Spangled Banner
Jets soar above
~
A coin toss kicks off
Bets with a fifty-fifty
Popular wager
~
It’s the food and drinks
Commercials and half-time shows
Pools that I adore
~
Win or lose we choose
To feed greedy appetites
With our traditions

Landfill ~ Haiku
The cost of living
Convenient, hands and germ free
Toxic batteries
Wasteful
I like to travel
Light, bagged in carry-on
Destined for the trash
Wake Up
Living in the dream
In love with the fantasy
No clue what it means
To be somewhere in between
As reality does sleep
