Haiku #91116 a and b

haiku #91116 a

as autumn charms
cold winds send summer scattering
’round the bend

haiku #91116 b

911
a hole in our hearts
still on the mend

bend and mend (2 weeks of prompts)

Written with Haiku Horizons and shared with Poets United.

Stars And Stripes

Stars And Stripes

All wrapped up
in bright red stripes
against a navy sky
with stars in her eyes.

Unfurling herself
naked to the winds
and oh, what a view!
Red, white and blue.

Happy Memorial Day! Summer starts soon.
