I post in 5-7-5 only. All work is original, mostly commentary, sometimes conventional, rarely poetic.

Dad. Hubs. Absurdist. Pacifist. Educator.

Work featured in: Atlantean Publishing’s 5-7-5 Haiku Journal

With all respects to Heaven, I like it here.
Sounds matter. Is it

“Lead” or “Lead?” Errors like this

keep one up at night.

Solid gunmetal

drapes across. A wet blanket

hiding fall’s sunrise.

The optimist says it’s art.

The realist says “I don’t think

he’s gonna make it.”

My last sunflower

cut down, over ten foot tall,

Summer’s last farewell

A first grade #teacher,

I correct #spirits that can’t

Blend letters to words.

People tend to say

I live with a free spirit.

It’s in my #cellar.

The first rain in months,

A spectral mist thick as fog,

Welcomed and haunting.

The people who have

Heaven here are telling you

Yours is in the sky.

Summer’s exit marked

By gusts from a back door slammed

With red and orange tears.

Tiny shadow pounces,

A bag of bones in my lap,

Only wants kisses.

Flabby tabby snores

In the sun, a dollop of

Pancake batter, warmed

As a teacher, I,

With all my lessons, want to

Run completely free.

Tips of maple leaves,

Lit with sherbet and crimson,

Torchlight for autumn.

Work/life balance for

teachers doesn’t tilt. It’s more

Like dogs chasing cars.

Quiet sunrises

Crickets sing into morning

Sleepy house still sleeps.

Nature always wins,

For every dig and scraping,

Plants comes back, hungry.

Cooler airs knife through,

Vibrant greens a crimson drip,

As summer bleeds out.

August, a hell hole

Of sadness, I mash the gas

As it fades to #fall.

#Lifeless, stooped forward,

#Crows perch on their necks, #happy,

And peck their eyes out.

Their petals fallen,

My sunflowers hunch over,

Aged, blooms eye their roots.

Stalks hardy, hollow,

Naturally I twirl them

As if a ninja.

In the teacher’s lounge

I wish to float in #silence,

But drown in #gossip.

Pencils sharp, ready.

Carpet spots and read alouds.

Relax, it’s first grade.

Metal jaws biting

Vines ripped, dirt dug, garden gone,

Fall dreams fall to spring
