As pillars of U.S. community
So publicly private, this faux King and Queen
Bespoil the royals with impunity

Harry said, “Hey,...

Premium Member Cityscapes 2
Deserted financial centre
Ghost town after dark;
Weekend constellations

~~~~~~~~~

Blank myth created
To express a fond wish;
Merlion antiquity

~~~~~~~~~


Old neighbour nods
Smiles in recognition;
Civilised exchange

~~~~~~~~~


Sing-song Good Morning
Little boy entertains;
Proud parent smiles...

With bulging biceps and the rest

My every move I plan
Hate sissies, I do!

Premium Member Haiku Moment 6
Wet morning
Misty tear-jerker;
Dark skyline contours

~~~~~~~~~


Beyond this bridge
A new town;
People escalate

~~~~~~~~~


Cold and wet
Dreary morning sky;
Rain re-decorates

~~~~~~~~~


Espresso dawn
Tired eyes split open;
Caffeine surge

~~~~~~~~~


Work on words
Verbal collage;
Emergent light

About you not being a miracle worker

Even after how hard you tried and tried

They continually have...

Trump an Emmisary Or a Missionary

Can you imagine Trump  being an emmisary;
Maybe a maniac who had been a missionary;
Sewer worker;
Soda jerker;
Whatever he was would...

Breathe deeply
Drink cold water
Squeeze a stress ball
Tense up your muscles
That's easy enough if I don't want tears.

Tilt your head back
Imagine your happy place
