in a tiny valley
between granite slabs.

approach season’s end,
but retain charm.

Ephemeral View [Haiku]

in a one step span
reflected flowers come
in and out of view.

PROMPT: Conspiracy

Daily writing prompt
What’s a conspiracy theory you actually find believable?

I used to think any conspiracy of three or more was doomed to someone talking, but now I’m pretty sure there’s a bipartisan cabal of billionaires who get together and laugh and laugh about how they can get with absolutely every American underaged daughter if they just keep people scrolling material that paints an opposition as lunatics void of all humanity, such that a pack of horny dimwitted robber-barons seem positively electable by comparison.

Summer Gust [Haiku]

malformed tree 
stands rigid against
a Summer gust.

Caterpillars [Haiku]

caterpillars
on each branch;
leaves, but memories.

Burble [Haiku]

water sound…
heard before it’s seen:
tiny waterfall.

Season Bridge [Haiku]

yellow daisies grow
from crack & fissure;
bridging Summer & Fall.

Shadow-dappled [Haiku]

shadow-dappled
forest floor stretches to a
confusion of trees.
