Haiku leaves

Leaves float down stream
insects jump on board for ride
birds hover for feast

~ Tis Halloween Eve ~

~ Tis Halloween Eve ~

Beware the Ghosts & Demons that crave your soul
on Halloween’s Eve ~

They seek you - they slither - they crawl

The Ghosts & Goblins swarm to have you for their feast & delight as the midnight clocks strikes your undoing!

Be forewarned the spirits of the dead, burned witches of the past crying out in the night sending spine tingling pains through out your body, rendering it raw to the touch!

Tis a scary sight indeed as a Two Headed ghoul
swallows a live screaming toad that it has in it’s clutches!

It’s enjoys unquenchable delight as he feels the toad
wiggle and slither down it’s gullet ~

Beware ~ The ghoul wants you next ~

Thy doorbell is ringing, here comes the bedeviled children drawn by the ominous glow of your door’s
Jack-o‘-lantern ~

They are not the normal children clutching at
your sugar candy & gifts of apple ducking in
a galvanized pail ~

They are the children from
the cemetery of the sinister side ~
Seeking your soul to toss it into the dark pit
of eternity ~

Tis a bit on the dark side ~

~ Love's Dream ~

~ Love’s Dream ~

Until the end of time

Are you ready for love!

Love beyond the heavens

The enrichment of the heart

Musical strings playing love’s tune

The feelings of conquest & surrender

To be touched by the stars and beyond in one’s dreams

Moonlight serenade for lovers

To feel moonlight beams and the sparkle of heavenly star dust

If so dream along with me ~

For tonight’s the night of Lover’s Delight

Dream a Dream with me!

Muir Woods

Young and eager romps
the charmed saplings in the woods
Fearing no evil

Haiku 5 - aurora borealis, dancing fireflies

a buzzing bee
the sleeping dog awakens
then bolts from the room


dancing in the dark
fireflies paint lines of light
in exquisite designs


multi-coloured lights
searching the northern sky
aurora borealis

AUTUMN HAIKU

Orange leaves curl
Dawn chorus an echo only
Dew lies glistening
