HAIKU TUNA

A shiny new key

High ceilings, warm wooden floors

Red pillars -- I'm home!

Gentle crunch past moss,
cross over locust bridges.
A spider fishes.

Sunday morning fog
Grey mist shrouds pecan groves
muffling train rumbles

missing home...

Creaking front porch steps,

Garden mums, Autumn welcome.

Prickly kale 'round back

Wet droplets linger
on the moist backdoor stoop
Muddy boots wait for sun

Wintry Summer dusk,
Songs of Love and Regret drift
o'er the starry Bay

<La Traviata at AT&T Park>

Like clockwork, it's time,
Life says throwing barbed reminders,
to reinvent yourself

Pour me through fissures
as I seek to fill the voids
of my life's strata

Wee of stature, she
with grit, heart, and bravery
to fill an ocean

Warm bundled hugs
European kiss on cheeks
Bittersweet partings

Hand in hand in hand,
three wee girls form a circle --
Friendship, unbroken

Circles prompt #1

Grey mist, like cotton
snagged in tree branches, gently
dissolve in sunlight

Unexpected touch
gentle on your lower back
Memories of love

Two red eyes blinking
Warning screams from high branches
Rooftop Safari
