Out of the Blue

A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with language.

W.H. Auden

[Out of the Blue @BlueHaiku2]

I comb my hair
into the wind
knowing every bird's nest
holds a bit of fairy tale
woven in the twigs.

The woman in gold
ethereal and divine
autumnal nouveau.

You sometimes think
you want to disappear,
but all you really want
is to be found...........

Send me directions
to the vast eternity
a map of the universe
so I can find you
when we no longer exist.

The moon said starting all over again can be just as beautiful.

a shivery moon
rustles the leaves
I stir the soup

Today the wind arrived
in a rush of leaves
fleeing the trees
as though chased
by an October demon.

I read love poems
and totally sober
though drunk on words
I resist, I resist
calling you.

I regret saying I would go..a memoir.

emptiness
on the main street
autumn vacation
I walk along the sidewalk
kickin' a pinecone

sorry but ur still on my mind

[Out of the Blue @BlueHaiku2]

I die a little bit every day
remembering the things
we didn't do
and now
we never will.

A red bird and a leaf
briefly race
tracing an invisible line
across the sky, too tired
the little leaf drops out.

so far 2025 feels like being awake during surgery

just a haunted star.

Monday, dawn drapes the house in soft light as sleep clings stubbornly to her bones.

She reaches across the sheets, half-expecting emptiness, half-dreading the truth, and feels his hand there, steady and warm, as if love alone could keep him close.

[Out of the Blue @BlueHaiku2]

A tiny red leaf
waved at me
with exuberance
then soundlessly
and swiftly flew away.
