Summer Reeds [Haiku]

late Summer: 
the last days before
reed heads fluff.

Orange Earth [Haiku]

fallen blossoms
carpet the ground,
mottled by sunlight.

You, Too [Lyric Poem]

I cannot be one.
 I cannot be lost.
  I cannot buy my entry
      at a payable cost.

I cannot be three.
 I cannot be boss.
  I cannot isolate: diamonds
      from the dross.

I think I can be two,
 just the me & you.
  our two could be one,
      like two planks form a cross.

Buds & Blossoms [Haiku]

buds & blossoms,
in vibrant red, gussy up
a dreary cityscape.

Tree Unique [Haiku]

to human eyes,
the man-made stands out —
while trees seem the same

Shy Sunflowers [Haiku]

summer sun so bright
the sunflowers take a break,
& turn backs to light.

Long Shadow [Haiku]

summer evening:
long shadows climb steps
their source won’t reach.

PROMPT: City Planning

How would you design the city of the future?

For the robots to rest comfortably over our cold, dead bones.
