sometimes difficult distilling life into a senryu: freezing night #senryu

the intoxication of this liquor my Creole accent appears #senryu

that rhododendron bush another cup of coffee minus the pastry #senryu

feeling bereft—a child that has second-sight #senryu

fragrant orchids: i dreamed i was being eaten by a lotus #senryu

telling many lies sharing a Coke and plastic smiles #senryu

living in a dry county—at a bar in the next county #senryu

propositioned by a guest...regretfully ive grown morals overnight #senryu

they lament a world without Kennedy i cry for Malcom #senryu

craving new scenery...given an outdated magazine #senryu

workshift done i want a hotel room for the night #senryu

experiential living
escorted from
the workplace

Only incredibly stupid people think the president is in good health.

all of human existence condensed in a poetic line—senryu #senryu

falling asleep
the gentle slide
down
the backside
of a dream

#tanka

in the spirit
of nostalgia...
won't someone
cable or telegram me
of their coming

#tanka

what do i
emote—
hurried dressing
for work
this afternoon

#tanka

@delosithism.bsky.social thank you beautiful man!

what of 'mercy killings'
forcefully pulling up
stubborn weeds

#senryu

up all night well into morning ...
everything in me wilting wilting

#senryu

up all night well into morning ...
everything in me wilting wilting

38 degrees this morning, no more Community coffee #senryu

coffee and slice of sweet potato pie waiting for motivation #senryu

a new month: what will ChristmasHanukkahDiwaliKwanzaa be like #senryu

in my dreams
venus flytraps in the rain—
people
hurry here and there
in a blur in haste

#tanka

locked in an existential battle...American freedoms crumbling #senryu

tired this morning 'damn!' i'm weary every morning... #senryu

cold morning house warmed by oven— the ol fashion'd way #senryu

another Monday workday—nostalgia for a rotary phone #senryu
