Mink
Under the mattress
Mink oil, ball in the pocket
My glove waits for spring.

Puns
A witty singlet,
with nary a wasted word,
makes a uni-verse.
Loss
A person like you
standing in the debris of
what once was a home.
Holiday
Turkey, corn, stuffing,
yams, cranberries, covered in
melting candle wax.
Color
Looking desperately
Seeking but not finding words
That rhyme with purple.
Knowledge
How long will it take
Before the weight of knowing
Finally leaves me?
Water
An earthworm stranded
Upon a rain slicked sidewalk.
Shriveled doom awaits.
Plagarism
Haikus can be fun,
But sometimes they make no sense.
Refrigerator.
Fade
Sleep is closing in,
Still her eyes strain to capture
The day’s waning light.
Ice
Icy daggers hang
Dripping in the winter sun
Waiting for the fall.
