We who with songs beguile your pilgrimage / And swear that Beauty lives though lilies die, / We Poets of the proud old lineage / Who sing to find your hearts, we know not why ... (James Elroy Flecker)

Shorts: a variety

Shorts: a variety


I kiss my cat

no social distance

we rub faces

Orange

bursts out

from winter vines:

trumpet flowers bloom suddenly

hot.

I still call on you

sometimes when I need help 

but do you have time

now you’re busy working

as one of the angels?

winter morning –

my cat runs up and down

small paws thumping


haiku 13/7/21



 In the latest Weekly Scribblings at Poets and Storytellers United, Magaly recently invited us to try one of several designated micro-poetry forms. Enthusiastically, I tried them all! Then I checked and found she wanted just ONE piece. I gave her the one I liked best, my American sentence.


Here, for Writers' Pantry #79, are all the others.  (Good not to share them immediately. I've had time to tweak a bit.)


In case you wondered: Yes, the first one was written last month; we were allowed 'recent' and I hoped that was recent enough to count. Sharing them now in the Pantry instead, no such restrictions apply.
