The optimist says it’s art.

The realist says “I don’t think

he’s gonna make it.”

My last sunflower

cut down, over ten foot tall,

Summer’s last farewell
People tend to say

I live with a free spirit.

It’s in my #cellar.

If only rich folks

were willing to help fellow

people like campaigns.

The people who have

Heaven here are telling you

Yours is in the sky.

Summer’s exit marked

By gusts from a back door slammed

With red and orange tears.

Tiny shadow pounces,

A bag of bones in my lap,

Only wants kisses.

Flabby tabby snores

In the sun, a dollop of

Pancake batter, warmed

Tips of maple leaves,

Lit with sherbet and crimson,

Torchlight for autumn.

Work/life balance for

teachers doesn’t tilt. It’s more

Like dogs chasing cars.

Quiet sunrises

Crickets sing into morning

Sleepy house still sleeps.

Nature always wins,

For every dig and scraping,

Plants comes back, hungry.

Cooler airs knife through,

Vibrant greens a crimson drip,

As summer bleeds out.

August, a hell hole

Of sadness, I mash the gas

As it fades to #fall.

Their petals fallen,

My sunflowers hunch over,

Aged, blooms eye their roots.

#haiku #micropoetry #poetry #gettingold #bloomscrolling #sunflowers #harvest
Stalks hardy, hollow,

Naturally I twirl them

As if a ninja.

Pencils sharp, ready.

Carpet spots and read alouds.

Relax, it’s first grade.

Metal jaws biting

Vines ripped, dirt dug, garden gone,

Fall dreams fall to spring

#haiku #poetry #micropoetry #homerepair #garden #pumpkins #gone
My tiny backyard

Full of vines, leaves, bugs, flowers,

Pumpkins, kids, and life.
