Stranger In the Dark

dusting stale portrait
graying visage from my past
gilds blithe memories
romance stilled in time capsule
shadows my jealous lover

Beechwoods

the polished blade glides
precisely to and fro
dusting the mulch below,
the angled wedge shapes the fall-
timber...the echoed call.

Winter Days Snowfall-

mid December's rain
frozen sprinkles white dusting grains
days winter snow fall

Mountain In the Morning

Dusting of snow on mountain

   Foretells of winter's coming.

      Bright sun paints a pretty sight,

         ~~ like sparkling diamonds.

Dusting

As the dust of hope abates. 

I see what I trust, as I am hit with a spate. 

Tricks of despair, they inspire. 

Me to resist what they conspire.

Dust

We took a novel to Rome, 
left it on a bus.

A photograph of us
between its pages.

Dusting a bookshelf,
recalling the photo
seeing us back then,

Ideas Above My Station

I
hate
laundry,
washing up,
ironing, dusting,
fixing stuff - and any
kind of household work.
The logical conclusion Is that 
I must be descended from royalty

Decaying Memories

The pics masked In name-stamped boxes Shelf dusting And shatter When remembrances dissolve, Each work took my sight. Written: January 09, 2022

Andrea went to a rave
and fell into a gigalos grave
She said, He looks freakin disgusting

and think of the money i'll save

Leave In Our Wake

Leave In Our Wake



wisdom in years and growing old
can't even take a single step to hold
without let one go 
nagging fear I do not know 
a loud crop-dusting sound of gold

Open Swim at Six

Open Swim at Six See many arms, like shark fins, in pool lanes. In laps, dusting off dark, The shiver starts on their mark. Young stars heading for the lark.

Unwanted Thoughts

Bursts of dusting snow
fall from the branches.
It looks like sugar,
sifting through the air.
Suddenly, unwanted thoughts
leave me in my stance,
and I simply don’t care!

Snow Ponies

Paint ponies in the snow
delicate dusting across their backs
like confectioner sugar 
sifted
so fine... and
puffy, light, white powder
laying on the land..
Oh how we love
our gentle
Arizona winters!

Mirror, Mirror

some things
are too obvious
for
a
mirror
to bother with

eyelash
sliding
down my cheek
dusting
yesterday
on
withering
regret
stained
lips

here
at the
end
of
a dirt road
where
no
bell
will
chime
to
your exit.

Misty Are Shadows

We grip hands in shadows
Winds brushing your tossed hair ,
Night dusting dew on our eyes
And silhouette of waves 
Fade soft as your salt tears
Wash me from wrongdoings.

Lips Service

Forging through
 Destiny will befall a crimson head
 Wrapped in silver tongue
 
 
 
Slanted, the gift jury rigs
 A court appointment dusting
 Off today's wig
 
 
 
A jester posed as unsketched
 Captures an ear briefly
 Searching the discount rack

Haiku 33

a dusting of sugar
on my bowl of porridge --
morning snow



* let me know all my haiku students
what do you think of this? Is it haiku?
what did I do here that I have not taught you
how to do yet? What is the ahHA?
Why is it an ahHA?Where is the ahHA?

Succulents

Culinary resonations my senses please
Blowtorch trimming the tapering of cheese 
Cremated lactations dance on the fan’s breeze
Crab forks impaling young peas 
Lightly dusting salt of the seas
Grindings of exotic teas
Marinades my taste buds tease

Rescued

he opened the drapes to my soul
and gently stepped into my life
dusting my lonliness away
bright shining light into my day
removing cobwebs here and there
slowly mopping my fears to nought
painting a smile upon my face
so calm and clear my heart in cheer

Pink Dusting

It starts with a gentle breeze
...slowly, quietly winding down
Kissing and caressing the trees
...spiraling through branches
Finally brushing the pale petals
...sweeping them off in a flurry
Catching two furiously entwined
...in a whirlwind of scented pink

Continental

Crop dusting now,
Endings inevitable.

And in this keyhole
I strain to see
your nostalgia.

Patty cake games
Untimely now
And your breath
so much slower
than before.

This closeness
will follow me
eternally so,
until it is my
time for 
Departure.

The Fourth Season

The air is cold and still, filled with the scent of damp leaves scattered on the forest floor. Autumn will soon be gone and winter chill will etch bare trees. Dusting with silver frost.
