A single petal, missing
From the slim stem down below
No longer made her shapely
But she still continued to grow
A star within her center
Told her story, plain and true
She was perfectly imperfect
Twas with beauty that she grew

I blame a lack of sleep for this one 😉
Inane was putting it mildly
All they knew was making merry
A cranberry wine, ever so fine
Those crazy dingleberries
They’d stomp about in vats
They drove us all quite bats
Poured a glass or two, whoop de doo
Didn’t matter after all that
So if you ever passing the shop
The Dingle’s invite you to stop
Raise up a glass, get drunk off your ass
Hang around for the next new crop

As fate would have it
Appearing again
A visible creature
An angel, so prim
She’ll pour you a glass
Or perhaps even two
As the clock ticks off time
Oh my, how it flew
She’s taking no chances
Making sure you’ll partake
Her slithering friend
Sees to your mistake
While her innocent face
Has you mesmerized, still
She’ll pour you another
Draw you in, against your will
No longer a battle
This one, you did lose
A victim of happenstance
Better knock off the booze

In time for the holidays!! (Shameless self promotion!)
I’m excited to announce that the first chapbook in the Seasons series “Autumn Haiku” is now available in paperback from Amazon.com!! This collection of haiku poetry is my 10th book to be published. I’m still having trouble believing it! (There will be three more books to follow, to complete the four book series.)
Back Cover:
Autumn ~ The colors of russet, gold and orange, laced with subtle greens, the transition to winter. From September til November, we are graced with the brilliance Mother Earth has on display. The haiku contained in this book take you from the early days of autumn, til the time when she, once again, departs, and we wait another year for her return.

His hands were rough
Against the softness of her skin
An unshaven face
Bristled against her neck
His lips, a salted cold
Whispered, sending chills
Time together shortened
He would soon set sail
A memory, until he returned
A longing deep within
He was all she knew
And it was his touch
She would always crave
