My Uber shows up
Garland wrapped with dashboard tree
Good-bye to Tempe
#haiku #poetry

Waymo hums through streets
Chasing maps and satellites
We’ve joined the matrix
#haiku #poetry

Such an easy game
The quest for non-work topics
Work dinner mingle
#haiku #poetry

She’s twenty-three now
Chose to spend her day with us
The gifts go both ways
#haiku #poetry

Our first airport drop
With two more over two days
Thanksgiving break fades
#haiku #poetry

TV trivia
His send-off back to college
Less giggles, more grades
#haiku #poetry

With no alarm set
Friday slows down and wanders
Holiday recharge
#haiku #poetry

Midwestern refresh
Seven-up jello on plates
No lettuce needed
#haiku #poetry

While he waits for her
She walks off the plane and leaves
Next, the airport chase
#haiku #poetry

Rain drips, snow looming
The night rewrites its story
Plans change, we pivot
#haiku #poetry

The turkey handoff
We cross state lines at rush hour
Thursday, we’ll be back
#haiku #poetry

Free time ran away
The weekend stalled in catch-up
On one grueling task
#haiku #poetry

Pages tell stories
Told by each simple snapshot
The year’s good and bad
#haiku #poetry

Friday’s finish line
Pull ourselves from our boxes
It’s martini time
#haiku #poetry

Twenty-six years in
Never more than a tussle
Our lives simply fit
#haiku #poetry

My retired parents
On a Wednesday night phone call
Are far more awake
#haiku #poetry

Photos on the page
Try to tell the year’s story
In paltry glimpses
#haiku #poetry

At vacation’s end
Gingerly step back to work
It feels quite unjust
#haiku #poetry

Dark Dublin cab ride
Saved by layover cocktails
Sun-filled outdoor club
#haiku #poetry

The gale numbed our heads
Not unlike Irish swimmers
In November seas
#haiku #poetry

She stumbled to him
And put on her best drunk moves
As his wife watches
#haiku #poetry

The blurring of time
Where the eras share musings
Makes the topics pop
#haiku #poetry

The clock taps its foot
Next steps wait for judgy me
Time-boxed shoe shopping
#haiku #poetry

As evidence drips
The pedophile herds his court
Fear oozes from them
#haiku #poetry

Excuse to miss work
And alone time with parents
Dad’s appointment run
#haiku #poetry

The tire spews out air
Must have spied tomorrow’s plan
And chose cattiness
#haiku #poetry

Our pictures line up
I flinch and pick my darlings
The photo book starts
#haiku #poetry

The kids turned twenty
Both far away at college
Double date time here
#haiku #poetry

Simple task - fly home
We held our breath at each step
While DC plays games
#haiku #poetry

The drums cough and wheeze
Velcro shoes tap out the beat
Encore… for sore knees
#haiku #poetry
