This week's offerings:
haiku: "In the hushed darkness,
the flickering images,
danced upon the screen."
haiku: "Withering glances,
From his ex-wife, kept him from
making his next move."
haiku: "There's a flag flying,
atop yonder hill, it waves,
Freedom shall endure."
haiku: "A bowl of walnuts,
sits on a coffee table,
made of relatives."
haiku: "In a fitful sleep,
memories long forgotten,
rise to consciousness."
haiku: Our traffic-clogged streets,
made worse by double parked trucks,
and dumb dog walkers ..."
haiku: "In the dining room,
a ludicrous spectacle,
sirloin with white wine."
haiku: "Even though he'd won,
his thoughts remained fixated,
on all he had lost."
haiku: "at the girl's front door,
boys stammer and hesitate,
... and hope for a kiss."
haiku: a tangerine sky,
clouds that haunt the horizon,
lure me into night.
haiku: "Flying through the air,
should be avoided by both,
dentures and toupees."
haiku: "What the heck happened?
The earth moved under my feet,
The sky tumbled down."
(Thanks and a tip of the hat to Carole King)
haiku: "Alone at Midnight,
Walking through old neighborhoods,
Searching for my past."
haiku: "If this train runs right,
I will see my gal tonight.
My heart leads me home."
(Thanks and a tip of the hat to Woody Guthrie)
haiku: Since no-one's at home,
A note's slipped under the door,
'Sorry 'bout the tree.'
haiku: "I watch a rabbit,
hop through my garden, pausing
to enjoy the view."
haiku: whispering your name,
in my darkest moments, gives
me soothing solace.
haiku: By a waterfall,
The lovers had a picnic,
ev'rything got wet.
haiku: Grandpa's gold timepiece,
has a little secret; he
won it playing 'craps.'
haiku: "Caught in a downpour,
without an umbrella, he
steps in a puddle."

Fortuna blessed us
With a second chance at love
Quite an honor, that

I really like the bowl of walnuts.
My fierce paddling,
kept the kayak in one place,
slowing the planet.

"Jan, it's a bad time..."
How often had she heard that?
As haiku it sucked.
My son watches FOX
He says he is "above it."
He laughs and I cry.

These are excellent. I can especially sympathize with that Fox one, LOL...

New York ends quickly
I had thought to suspend it
but it won't hang well
Going through my stuff
I find Hefty bags are good
for hiding what-nots
Good-byes to friends and
all sorts of belongings are
hitting me at once
I am so grateful
friends, family and strangers
will help me move on

Wonderful LisB. I skipped last week. I guess I'll have to add another batch later this afternoon.
