haiku again

nuances offered
in undercurrents of tact
honeybees scare me

somedays, everything comes in 5-7-5

drank too much coffee
hand shakes, but it keeps me warm
winter has arrived

****************************************

friends from long ago
renewed in elevator
her name escapes me

****************************************

little steps unseen
on the way to being grown
blind, as we nurture

never enough moon

sliver moon waxes
now poetic, as though it’s
never the has been

And so, at the end of the day when I’ve been mixing words all through the conversation I just had on the phone, I will now try to write something resembling poetry…

Having run across this through my other blog, it seemed to fit perfectly over here!

eleven more years
I may learn to cook and you’ll
learn to like red wine

Seriously mixed bag of stuff this week and my poor brain needs a rest and a read before attempting to write off of this.  I’m not even sure all the associations make sense, but I am sure that’s part of the process!  Happy mutterings…

written on a sunny, gorgeous day

So what does one choose for a prompt in the full face of only sunlight and concrete??  Why water, of course.
