Halloween Costume

projecting coolness

butterfly rises to  meet

the rest of her life

mateless now, she cleverly

disguises inner tremble

(Prompts: coolness, butterfly, rising, tremble)

Recipe for Procrastination

unfortunately

apple crisp recipe says

first peel the apples

(Daily Haiku Prompt: crisp)

Priorities (prompt: fallen)

pride before a fall

but having almost fallen

priorities change

maintaining independence

while accepting needed help

John Lennon Quote

On October 9, I'd like to share my favourite story about John Lennon. 

When John was five, his teacher asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up.

"Happy," he said.

"I don't think you understand the question," she said.

"I don't think you understand the answer," he replied. 

Imagine by John Lennon

October (prompt: vivid)

October's vivid 

colour burst almost makes me

forget to dread winter

Rereading Gatsby, September 24

rereading Gatsby:

a hopeless attempt to

harvest a stray strand

of creative inspiration

on Fitzgerald's birthday

Daily Haiku Prompts: harvest, strand

Night Owl's Equinox

if equinox means

equally light and dark,

explain dark morning!

slept through radio's alarm

as if it were winter now
