Scratches on wood,
rusty metal spike pen.
Writer, gets better.

Poetry
Nature of Night
Night consumes day,
slow moonlit snake, swallows
the yellow sun again.

Tuesday Explained
2 year old laughs,
in pajamas at noon,
hanging out with Dad.

(5) Monday Haiku
Morning sunlight,
kiss away, sleepers dream
dissolved, coffee.
…
A jolt, a sneeze,
pollen, on a spring breeze,
buzzing honey bees.
…
Chained word,
life sentence, writers pain.
Prison break!
…
Green desert lawn.
Writer making widgets,
Fish die in dust.
…
Heart as Ocean.
Rivers as Arteries.
Earthquake, Chest Pains.

Haiku for the Weary Writer
Timely writing,
readers sift, through stories,
hungry for more.
…
Ideas are like ore,
extracted from solid rock,
Mine of Mind.
…
Fear and Doubt,
Are sold, by the idle.
I will never invest.
…
One million words,
is said to make a writer,
words are steps.
…
My little black book,
Red pen captures idea,
gold, in my pocket.
…
Reader. Listener.
Silent exchange of story,
a mind grows.
…
Writing. Cooking.
Practice. Ingredients.
Perfection takes time.
