Haiku Heights: Fire

Inspired by the theme at

Burning inside me
something I can barely control
passionate desire

Spark into a flame

inspiration burning bright
only fire quenches me

Diving in head first
throwing caution to the wind
baptism by fire


National Poetry Month

Haiku Heights: Egshells

Inspired by the theme at

Easter is over 
dead bunnies make nice slippers
eggshell evidence

Cacophony

I found a new weekly challenge - Haiku heights. This week's prompts is Cacophony. Here goes my first shot at this one...



Random noise clusters
assault sensibilities
fathers jazz CD

*****

My infant jabbers
endless mumbo jumbo scat
thought I heard "dada"

*****

A loon's lone cry
a coyote's hollow wail
a beaver tail slap

****
Never thought that I
would hear myself say the words
turn that music down

Thirty-three


Thirty-three


He 
died 
when 
he was 
thirty-three. 
It's not like we weren't warned. We all knew he was coming back. 
Some looked 
forward
 to it. 
Some 
were 
scared.
But no one 
expected this.

Ode to Dr Seuss ...


Ode to the Master... with a twist.

Sunshine forever
is never quite as bright
as a night light
when bed bugs
don't bite
you at night

safe at home
cookie dough
bat her up
Call a cop
soda-pop fly-ball
hip hop on Pop

chipped Tooth Fairy secrets
bruised chinny chin chin
Calm-bat man trau ma
I'll blow your house in.

reta-tat-tat you're a brat
don't do that
can't hear myself drink
kitty Cat in the Hat

snuggle Bugs Bunny
Porky Pig in the poke
Dad fell asleep drinking
Mom started to choke

tippie toe to the kitchen
oven open the door
I smell green eggs and ham
They can't hurt me no more
