on the driveway
all hopscotch squares
except one
fill with crimson leaves ...
for sale sign askew
Added:
a dollhouse
at the rain-streaked window ...
foreclosure sign
Added:
roof cobwebs
threaded with rosary beads —
foreclosed house in mist
FYI: My tanka below could be read as a sequel to the "for sale" and "foreclosure" poems above:
foreclosure
and for sale signs
like scarecrows ...
wildflowers bloom
in rioting glory
Gusts, 26, Fall/Winter 2017
Added:
somewhere, someone
shadowing me through twilight
faint buzz overhead
Added:
distant sirens ...
from one dream to another
no blinking exit
FYI: it could be read as a prequel to my haiku below:
echo of footsteps
in the psych ward hallway
EXIT blinking
