Whimsical witch has a wonderful wardrobe, said Wee.
Wee was a warlock with a wavering eye for winsome finery
We noticed her gown was enchanted with elm leaves and such
That flowed around as she walked, she had such a magical touch.
She was followed by moths and butterflies adding to her gown.
Whimsical witch as a designer, was the loveliest creator in town.
summer haiku - 6-25-24
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
summer finery
summer weaves a cloak
brocades of pinks and daisies ~
tadpoles learn to swim
Death by 5… in the Kitchen
or, A Bottle Garden No One Expected
Perched on an oak table, there rests an opulent and ornate glass bijou bottle,
a growing collection of nature’s organic jade.
But hidden below the green finery, concealed from a mushroom nursery,
there develops a frightful opalescence enclave.
A clutch of ravenous slugs of horror are preparing to hatch within the hour,
and raise an unholy terror, with the sole purpose of flora devour! Oh, my!

The British are first to confess
This binary stuff is a mess
For Men's toilet walls show
- a century ago -
"Gentlemen, please do up your dress!"*
* e.g., Welsh singer Tom Jones'
hometown railway station at
Pont-y-pridd
Friday afternoon a Jew's week winds down
His business shuttered
Tired sun sinks toward the ground
A workingman puts away his modest dress
~ A newly crowned king dons his Sabbath best
Grandpa ever vigilant, but not necessary because the neighborhood is now at peace. To look upon them, is to imagine a peacock displaying her tail, and all it’s glorious kaleidoscope of colors. They are still young, still innocent, still only play and having fun occupy their minds now. If grandpa and parents continue to build a foundation of security and trust, it bodes well for their future, in this uncertain world.
Going out to buy me a bunch of new finery
Something to cause naughtiness to put in my diary
You know what I mean
Scanty stuff to cause a scene
And authorities to issue a wild creature advisory
The trees are sporting finery
I've not seen in a year,
In just the nick of time before
The month of May is here.
They aren't fully decked out yet;
Accoutrements await,
But slowly they're preparing
As if going on a date.
Their branches draped in color now,
They preen and bide their time
'Til filled with fruit and flowers
They'll be fully in their prime.
Rain
awash
arouse me
spinning around
nature’s splendor and my dance of freedom

3rd Place
frozen finery
cascades shield tormented earth
an owl screeches
Blue sky
Birds fly
Lambs bleat
A treat
Awesome
Blossoms
Grass grows
Breeze blows
Heart knows
Love grows
Suns rays
Great days
