End of an Era? [Haiku]

Pandemic street art
lingers on the walls —
just like its grounds

Wading into the Flood [Kyoka]

floodwaters rise.
peacefully drifting
around the calves
of those in search
of things that float

Macbeth Limerick

Macbeth and Banquo Meeting the Witches;
Théodore Chasséria (1855)
There was a great General named Macbeth.
All that kept him from kingship was a death,
but - as with a Pringle -
he couldn't do a single.
So, he showed seven more their last breaths.

No Christmas in April Blues [Blues Poem]

The dust is risin' down that dirt road;
someone is comin' my way fast.
The dust is risin' down that dirt road;
someone is comin' my way fast.
Hope it's not the f#@kin' tax man.
Maybe it's Santa Claus, at last.

Slack Flags [Haiku]

prayer flags hang still.
i hear them go silent
as i sit - eyes closed
