Ancient Mountains [Haiku]

ancient mountain:
now a pile of worn boulders,
under monsoon clouds.

“Ah! Sun-flower” by William Blake [w/ Audio]

Ah Sun-flower! weary of time,
Who countest the steps of the Sun:
Seeking after that sweet golden clime
Where the travellers journey is done.

Where the Youth pined away with desire,
And the pale Virgin shrouded in snow:
Arise from their graves and aspire,
Where my Sun-flower wishes to go.

PROMPT: Dogs or Cats

Dogs or cats?

I prefer either to humans, generally speaking. I prefer dogs when feeling the need for affection, but cats when I want my space. Since the latter is more often my state of being, I guess a slight edge to cats.

Feeding Frenzy [Haiku]

frenzied pigeons: 
a tight, geometric horde—
until food’s end.

Lily Pad [Haiku]

lily pad sprawl:
herons march, beak-down,
on the shifting surface.

PROMPT: Dinner

If you could host a dinner and anyone you invite was sure to come, who would you invite?

It would need to be someone who wouldn’t be put off or demoralized by my primitive cooking skills. So, not anyone particularly fancy or famous.
