It’s #BidenHarris2024 no ifs, ands, or buts.

[FloridaKeys *️⃣ DemCastFL Lead @DemsKeys]

Activists in Florida have petitioned to protect women’s civil rights by putting abortion on the ballot. We have faith that the preservation of women’s lives will be protected from bad laws and faith that #BidenHarris2024 will do right by us.

Yachts all docked —
the tinkle
of ice

——

Deep
in the inkwell
a star

——

Sunset
riding the merry-go-round
alone

Alexis had more haiku published in MH than anyone else.

from my hand to hers
warm change

carried from the car
the ventriloquist’s dummy
looks around

——

twilight
staples rust
in the telephone pole

——

the fat lady
bends over the tomatoes
a full moon

after tires
on the rain wet country road
pine-dripping silence

———-

wheel ruts
of the old logging road
flowing with rain

Joe Nutt … who understood haiku is a “moment” … both caught my attention on the first reading.

landing swallow —
the ship’s chain
dips lightly

—- note how well Michael captures a moment, never story telling.

———

toll booth lit for Christmas —
from my hand to hers
warm change

again, a “moment.”

back home
from the late night shift
this silence
and yet ... beside the bed
my German Shepherd
