#mystified fire hire
told rollover in clover
soak well to moisten
then douse well with fresh water
to make smoulder and glisten

Minute by minute
I ripen in my dotage
Decrepitude honed
Put off to another day
Evergreen avoidance ways

#TankaThursday rant
With the warmth of a catfish
Lacking #lambent light
In deceitful blank dead eyes
Ex flopping on ghosted shore

love is not written
and ink does not carry love
only promises
love is not a lettered thing
but a blank page to be filled

Outcast birdie flaps
Aloft 'oer frosty meadow
Called by chirping bush
A host of sparrows huddled
Ubiquity hunkered down

#Unmoored Kabuki
Patriot roast on House floor
Fallow truth meadow
Crime family congress people
Outlaws bending rule of law
