Haiku Saturday - I'm Not Always Late, But I Usually Am

I love Trader Joe's
An oasis of cool food
And also, cheap wine

***

Sunny clementines
Just not enough to combat
Sadness and my SAD

***

The green tree sparkles
Each ornament a story
A piece of our past

***

This weird, weird weather
Like a Katy Perry song
Don't mean to like it

***

Friends come and friends go
Someone leaves, someone returns
The key is balance

***

Wonder what I'd say
If Christmas happened today
Would I welcome them?

***

I'm so intrigued by
Four hundred years of silence
And then, the baby

***
Merry Christmas!

Haiku Saturday

World-weary, tired
Guarded, defensive, all spent
But my hair looks good!

***
Sometimes I wonder
Why I let you get to me
And sometimes I know

***
He asks hard questions
My answers sound forced and wrong
And he stops digging

***
My writing suffers
Inspiration shrivels
Where are my muses?

***

My snaggletooth girl
Her sweet jack o'lantern smile
Where did the time go?

***

Pull me close to you
Tangle my hair in your hands
Love me, please love me...

***

Tower

The tower is tall
It's strong and it keeps out all
the things that bring pain
***
I hide there sometimes
when thoughts of you crowd my mind
and I can't let go
***
I understand you
Better than you know yourself
I see the forest
***
You made me believe
You let me be romantic
But you don't believe
***
Actions speak louder
You told me that was bullshit
But I was right, then
***
No dignity left
And so I swiftly retreat
Back where you found me
***
Alone and lonely
Crying, broken, cowering
And you walk away
