Dusky Winter Scene [Haiku]

church at dusk
looks shuttered and vacant, then
door creak, candle flame

Modest Sun [Haiku]

rising sun looms
at first sight; but shrinks
on second glance.

Clipper [Haiku]

jungle butterfly
finds a spotlight
to warm its back.

Moon Cameo [Haiku]

cloudy night walker sees his shadow;
looks up for Moon’s brief showing.

Livestock Rush Hour [Haiku]

horde of livestock 
sprawls puddle-strewn lane
between downpours.

PROMPT: Gifts

Share one of the best gifts you’ve ever received.

As a kid, my first non-hand me down bike, a bright yellow and blue trimmed BMX bike.

Now the really interesting question is whether there was anything special about this gift, or – rather – it came at the height of the appeal of gifts for me, an appeal that faded into adulthood and is virtually nonexistent in the present day. (no pun intended)

PROMPT: Budgeting

Write about your approach to budgeting.

Don’t want much. Don’t need much. And hope for the best.

Sky Fire [Haiku]

orange skies blaze, 
briefly but vibrantly,
people watch the fade.
