Triolet Gyre and Gimble* "at the rehab " getting lost before I'm found collecting shells from desert sand while the sun plays merry-go-round getting lost before I'm found snapping-back-words on the rebound this way to wonderland getting lost before I'm found collecting shells from desert sand   *from The Annotated Alice by Lewis Carroll

 

Herb Triolet Project Feathery Plumes of Grace    "Fennel" Above the lowly plants it towers The glow of a dying sun Umbers of bright yellow flowers Above the lowly plants it towers Wasting not the daylight hours Fennel blooms for everyone Above the lowly plants it towers The glow of a dying sun     "Sweet Myrtle" Roaming the bogs, fens and dark moors, catkins of red and orange in spring Free to pick - bouquets for the poor roaming the bogs, fens and dark moors 'Twix shiny twig legs they explore its leaves for the ale gypsies bring Roaming the bogs, fens and dark moors catkins of red and orange in spring

 

Cat Haiku black cat— out of the darkness a soft me-ow

 

Haiku   heat lightning the sound of crickets elevated     just half of of my face showing in the hand-mirror waning moon
