North: PLANTING

spring #planting is here
we till and break up the soil
drop the seeds in rows

South: MAUDLIN

it's autumn harvest
#maudlin at the emptiness
but spring comes again

#DailyHaikuPrompt #Planting #Maudlin

Planting an oak tree
Will I ever sit beneath
Its shady branches?

North: MAUDLIN

#maudlin memories
look back over fifty years
and those were the days

South: NEW LEAVES

they begin again
#newleaves on the sapling trees
what will the year hold?

I'm getting drunk this evening.

_Three Syllables_

I think
the fog comes
On muffled titan feet.

It swallows all
one could see,
deafens with silence
the bombs, the screams;
but we feel the steps
they take.

All apologies to Carl Sandburg.

For better or worse
Maudlin is my middle name
At least I can laugh
