Sound the Retreat

More and more
I long for
an isolated place
with a dark sky
and water lapping

Post Election Advice

The ballots are cast
But they are still counting

Predictions come faster
Than a fire hose fountain

Despite our exhaustion
The pundits still talk

Relax, take a nap
Perhaps a long walk

If booze is your thing
Try that too

Whoever you are
You should be you!

Prez Getting Played

Kissing tyrant ass
Pretending he’s a hero
Kim Jong-Un trumps him

Human Misery

Human misery
Live and in color tonight
Watching LivePD

A Weak End

Rushing through the days
Hours expire unenjoyed
Still no time to rest

Thoughts on a Tuesday before Thanksgiving

It is Tuesday night of Turkey Week

and I’ll admit my willpower’s weak

Soon politics I won’t be discussing

for in my mouth the feast I’ll be stuffing.

Count your syllables

It is Monday, yes
National Haiku Day, too
Count your syllables

Micromourning

The star passed away

RIP becomes the meme

Shallow, but sincere

Wi-Fi Goes Bye-Bye

We all need Wi-Fi

New devices overwhelm

Guess we have to talk

Phone From Home

I brought you the phone
Delivered it with much haste
Too many driveways
