my orders are clear

“My orders are clear. Eleven o’clock was the deadline.”

“Do you mean the orders you got from somebody else for you to do, or the orders you got from somebody else for me to do, or us both, or just your orders to yourself, or your orders to me?”

“Wha…?”

indoors and outdoors

there are no indoors in the outdoors
except those we build
caves and hollow logs and beaver lodges don’t count
foxes and badgers don’t go indoors

when it rains humans go indoors
other animals shelter in dens or
under bushes

unlike indoors where plastic
is found on shelves and tables
in the great outdoors plastic
is found on the gound and in the water

for Three Things Challenge

haiku

glimpsed in dense swamp reeds
secretive rail protesting
i stop sloshing by

for What Do You See

poem

walking down the path
toward me
remote look on her face
should i expect honesty
or a lie

haiku

Mike Salway*

venus, jupiter,
buck moon together; their weight
bears down on my life

for Frank J. Tassone’s Haiku Challenge

(*actually, as i type this at 12:35 am, the full moon stands just below saturn and jupiter, which for me is a far heavier conjunction than its conjuntion with venus and jupiter. Unfortunately, i don’t have a photo of this trio at hand.)

haiku

brief scream in the night
rabbit fur at dawn; so much
for idyllic dreams

for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge
