deb cluchey

is that small black cat
chasing the leaves on the wind
or dancing with them

#haiku #poetry #autumnwinds #leaffall #dancingcat

rot or compost trash or tending

safety net flapping beneath shroud shreds

imposter syndrome costumes cellar dweller Id's hallowed home

morning feet plod unerringly toward coffee abyss

#haikufeels
#OneLineOctober

Call it an abyss or a Grand Canyon: you do have a choice.

paper airplanes dance over dart into our abyss

right back atcha, poet.

prowl word waterfalls soak me syllabically

Prowling the shortest path, straying all the while.

one-eyed stray
smiling under the porch light
brought raccoon friend

ice touch North wind rustles up up and away

peering through cynicism's heavy veil

why must they eschew broken acorns, leave them for my feet

Graham Platner for Senate

pitch dead love coals pat sand around each ember

syrupy voices demanding our thoughts run rancid

not-eerie day departs from mundane

adulthood every shrine oxidized by taint in the air

entered a season when creeps hide their faces

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

skeletal remains washed bright with rain

soil lucky with rain skeletal willow hand rises

last wet spring brought a
new willow tree, skeletal
frame downy with leaves

aspire to conspicuous consumption as relics at the dump

skeleton on display marrow crouches in bone hallows

we fill our glasses rancor on tap

...in mine eye

the sobbing of the keeper remains in my dungeon
