Jigsaw Puzzles

Why write poetry?
Someone asked again;
Why breathe?

~~~~~~~~~


Snail sliding slowly
Grass verge camouflage;
Morning psalm

~~~~~~~~~


Morning crowd
Busy feet congregate;
Fiddle with cellphones

~~~~~~~~~


Downtown office complex
Rush hour traffic;
Urgent commotion

~~~~~~~~~


Food court terrestrials
Sea of hungry faces;
No place to sit

~~~~~~~~~


Work day blues
So much for so little;
Make ends meet

~~~~~~~~~


Modern day woes
So little time,
So much to do

~~~~~~~~~


Healthy constellations
Mötley yoga class;
Fitness sublimates

~~~~~~~~~


Morning newspapers
Friday through Sunday;
Terminal indigestion

~~~~~~~~~


Words in a rhyme
Lost in a thought;
Inconsequential

~~~~~~~~~


Only crazy people write
Wasted resources;
Sober conclusion

~~~~~~~~~
