Cap'n Crunch
a delicious mutiny
against nutrition
#DailyHaikuPrompt

blue ribbon
the dog sniffs it
disdainfully
#TheDailyHaiku

smooth jazz
a fallen leaf
crosses the street
#NaHaiWriMo

storm warning
a friendly stranger says
my house may be under insured

asleep on my knee
a descendant
of wolves
#vssdaily

late night visitor
the hotel receptionist's
knowing smile
#whistpr

AI chat bot
sublimely
serious
nonsense
#blueskyrelay

AI chat bot
cranking out
informed irrelevance

my Halloween costume:
a cranky and indifferent
old man

Love this!

autumn dusk
shadows creep
into themselves
#haikufeels

joint custody
cherishing our visit
to the dispensary
#HaikuChallenge

trick or treat
masked men pepper spray
a peaceful protester

5 percent chance of rain
the weatherman
is all wet

downtown barbershop
a quartet of clippers
hard at work

vivid memories of ultimate darkness
#DailyHaikuPrompt

autumn colors
concrete Buddha
unchanged
#TheDailyHaiku

escalation
the interval
between darkness
and light
#NaHaiWriMo

meditation mediation
a typo that fits me
to a "t"

autumn meditation
the outdoor furniture
comes inside

insomnia daydreaming about sleep
#inkMine

the bitter taste of winter
my granddaughter's ashes
#vss365

tapas
I grew up calling them
hors d’oeuvres
#blueskyrelay

leather-bound
a journal
I never use
#vssdaily

holiday weekend
a cascade
of brake lights
#whistpr

heavy sigh a nor'easter goes global

suspicious fire
the skeletal remains
of a struggling business
#haikufeels

bagpipes
I empty the canister
of the vacuum cleaner
#HaikuChallenge

adjusting the variables
I create
the perfect cocktail
#MastoPrompt
