A dream seems so close,
yet, in the morning darkness
my dreams escape me.
Tanka: Springtime in Autumn
Springtime in Autumn.
Buds bloom, and flowers blossom
confused by the warmth.
An owl watches and ponders,
a pause to see the flowers.
Haiku: Popularity
Rate one another
popularity contest
you gave me one star
Very Short Story: Home Office
A cool breeze moves through me, touches my skin, and moves me to feel the chill of the air.
I must stop for a few moments; work has become omnipresent, and nature calls me to feel.
Scents linger from outside and inside; I sniff the air in wonder and admiration for prosperity.
A dog keeps barking down the hill; I hear the illegal rooster telling everyone how annoying the chickens can be.
Haiku: Autumn
A great sadness ends
looking towards the grey sky
feeling Autumn turn
Very Short Story: A Fledgling
Rosy glasses,
the world looks
beautiful & bright.
The city lights,
dazzling opportunities
to make cash, be famous.
Beautiful,
a youth with beauty &
virginal naivety on your side.
A Fledgling,
you learn to fly through
many attempts and mistakes.
Many fell;
you remain.
Haiku: Aging
We are not perfect
ageing considered ugly
refusing to care
Very Short Story: Cafe of Feelings
“This is the cafe of feelings.”
“We buy feelings.”
“I have feelings.”
“Are you sure? Come with me…”.
“Lining up, they wait and watch the people order in front until it’s their turn.”
“I want a few dollops of sadness, happiness, and anger.”
“I’ll have the same. This’ll be fun”.
Haiku: Shell
Echoes from the sea
a shell from long, long ago
longing for the sea
Becoming a Song
Exhaustion.
Flicking in and out of consciousness,
my lips feel numb.
Usual noises sound bombing loud,
forgetting the time.
I become a melancholy masterpiece,
a sad classical song.
