Puddles play with chalk
Pavement drawings, rearranged
into abstract art

Rain-drenched pedestrians stroll
across a Jackson Pollock

Two plump pelicans
dip their beaks in unison
A paired catch of fish

I have no idea
what you want to hear from me
I can’t read your mind

You expect me to just know
and fulfill your every wish

#tanka #haiku #senryu #poem #poetry #smallpoems #writing #writingcommunity #micropoem #mastopoem

Where do you go to?
Every time I reach for you,
you are never there

I suspect you hide away,
so I can’t depend on you

The comic isn't directly related to @swingtimecomic but it could conceivably take place in the same universe

I spent a lot of time cutting butterflies out of wrapping paper so Ollie, my character from @swingtimecomic, could dress up fabulously for Mardis Gras 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🎊💃🦋

Bars will break your heart
if you think of freedom while
your cage is still locked

In a patch of light,
dust motes twirl and spin like stars;
Tiny galaxies

We are all specks of stardust
orbiting around our sun

Now I have Stardust by Hoagy Carmichael stuck in my head :P

When Icarus fell,
he paid the price for using
wings that were not his

Pilfered feathers, melted wax;
human greed, not meant to fly
