Kpop Cool Black Hair Toupee Dye: Haiku

When you dye to look
KPop cool, but your black hair
looks toupee old fool.

OR
When you think it would
be fun to look like K-pop
but looks like toupee.

Create Beautiful Content: Haiku

Backstory: A friend posted a meme about how there was going to be division in the Nation in the next few months. She suggested, instead of fighting and being snarky and mean, that we should “Create Beautiful Content.” 

So I wrote this:

Totally agree. I’ve found myself letting me not be my best self… just to “be right”. Sigh. So easy to do.
“Knowing how to do
haiku, it’s easy to make
Beautiful Content.”

Bell Bottom Intentions For High School Reunions

Backstory:  As I prepared for my 50th High School Reunion (including registering on-line on the high school’s reunion site), a woman I barely knew and I started writing about past intentions, bell bottoms, and memories. One evening, I wrote several haiku based on life reflections… and thinking about wearing hip-hugger bell bottom’d jeans to the reunion.

Wearing bell bottoms
removes our blues, if we let
them make us groovy.

Put out intentions
for what you want, what you need,
what is right. They’ll come.

I fear to again
wear hip hugger jeans, for my
hips have long vanished.
[giggle].

I arise in a
zone, long ago forgotten,
searching with new eyes.

As My Vision Fades ImproVerse Sonnet

As I age,
My vision fades.
Yet I’m sure
I’m seeing more.

The same sun shines North and South: Lake Winneconne SunsetMy experience fills in
views I’m seeing again.
And colors even more
scenes I’ve not seen before.

It’s frustrating to me,
this hazed fogginess I see;
but my sight was always poor,
so I accept the gaps and endure.

For even blurred pictures I now have at hand
Time lets me more clearly see and understand.
