Bright, blinding sunshine
Thermometer pegs 19
Winter paradox

Amid the heavy
blossoms and vines, a team of
tiny worker-bees.

Little ball of fur
with a glimmer in his eye..
a stolen cookie.

If Trump and his cronies would have spent time on Healthcare planning instead of bathroom and ballroom planning.....

Dark midnight minutes
Dreams escape me, the clock ticks.
Time for reflecting....

#Christmasmovies

I prefer silly
Christmas movie as I heal.
Easy, comforting.

Cocooning in fur
Dozing at times but didn't
really miss a thing.

The smell of Cocoa
and red-bowed evergreen.
The girl gets the guy.

#haiku #pain

Middle of the night
vigil, waiting for the pill
to swallow my pain.

Since my back surgery, I have experienced more wee hours than I ever have. The stillness as I wrap up in fluffy warmth is a comfort.
The dark sharpens my senses.

For all the "night crawlers" out there...be well.

afghan, multiple repairs
With colorful yarn.

Chose a rocky path,
"The heart wants what the heart wants"
Brain thrown under bus.

Post surgical thing
Feeling "well" is relative.
A rainbow in grades.

#haikufeels #loss

The loss of control:
Vision, driving, body health..
The loss of freedom.

An excellent write,
A jarring surprise ending,
The best kind of book.

#haikufeels #brittle

A brittle peace plan
A brittle longing for life
A brittle new hope

A new incision
my backbones are so brittle
a carpenter works.

The boney branches
writhe in the chilling gales
of All Hallows Eve.

He prowls under
the clumps of wet autumn leaves.
Where's that darn chipmunk?

The dog and I sleep
in a puddle of sunshine
on grandma's old rug.

#rustle

Elegance: the rustle of heavy silks.

The rustle of her
many petticoats, trumpets
portend her entrance.

Her lace collar and
saccharine "Well, bless your heart" with
Acid undertone.

It is hard to think
of long, graceful forever
with a fractured now.

If you must follow,
becareful to whom you kneel,
only the righteous.
