PROMPT: Change

Daily writing prompt
What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world?

If I can spark the occasional smile of amusement or trigger a line of thought once in a while, that’s enough. In the long run, it’s all dust. (That latter commentary was more on the thought-provoking than the amusing side of the equation.)

Cold Spring [Haiku]

cold Spring day:
feels too chilly
to be so green.

Syllables Matter [Lyric Poem]

Sometimes the syllables matter:
It meant to say, “Stow cars away
Someplace that is not here.”

But just one unfortunate break
Is all it takes to make it say:
“Middling Monarchs are Banned.”

Balance [Haiku]

one-legged crow squats
to explode into flight;
false alarm!

Transitory [Haiku]

butterfly lands
on flower, pumps wings twice,
and sputters off.

Autumn Moon [Haiku]

a single branch,
leafless but bloom-laden,
against the Autumn moon.
