#Paintku Tuesdays Week 9 Automat by Edward Hopper (1927) a single order the sweet smell of loneliness Add your haiku to join.

the softness of spring wind — grandma's hug

cicadas all these cries just aren't democratic

cold ice — an old neighbor greets me again

south wind — his false friend during a talk

waxing moon stuttering less with each line

fallen bamboo leaves… apologizing to her headstone

visiting her grave a butterfly

dandelion seeds… another in generation estate dispute

heat shimmer impasto of meadow #monoku

not making any move… an old frog

barley autumn our bench removed

dinner party — we dish the absentee

a dried tomato — grandpa's only living cousin

reunion I remember why I forgot them

koi fish — a vendor asks for my ID

light snow father's shopping list still on the fridge

Friday *John Garfield and Ida Lupino in #FilmNoir Out of the Fog (1941)

lying down beside a vagabond… moonlight

time dilation — a town drunk finishing a sente... Issa-inspired anti-haiku

early buds — all those children she never had

Written a year ago. We're still here... most of us. And we're still the lucky ones. #poetry #battlecry #fuckice #fightfascism

Just got in bed and my mind is like: should we overthink world politics, the possible WWIII, your last relationship that failed (and what does that reveal about you), embarrassing high school stuff… or what?

Superb!

Nya, wonderful as always!

The pinned senryu is dedicated to my late best friend from high school. I was feeling low when I wrote it. It's incredible how just seven words can be interpreted in so many ways by readers. This particular interpretation of the senryu made me laugh. Thanks.
