It is no secret
The secret of happiness
Is not a secret.

for the 35…

Watched a program on TV this evening that featured the story of 27 alleged victims of Bill Cosby. Wrote this poem when they were 35 in number. They are now over 50… It makes me wonder. When someone is famous, how many voices does it take to override the “his word against them” scenario. 35? 50? How many?

rising from
the muddle of
buried truths,
voices no longer
silenced by
tarnished
pennies, seeking
vindication, seeking
validation, vilified
unjustly, but
free to speak
in bellowing
whispers a
symphony of
tears…

Rain

Sky brimming with dew
Charmed to earth by gravity
Raindrops coming home.

Tumescent – Friday’s Word of the Day Haiku

 
Tumescent…What a spicy little word this is! Dictionary.com provides a rated G definition, focusing almost exclusively as it applies to the use of language, but a deeper probe (sorry, I’m having way too much fun with this one) reveals quite an expanded explication!  Here is the definition from Oxford’s Learner’s Dictionary: 

 
When it comes to crafting today’s Haiku….what to do….what to do?!😜


A Tumescent Haiku

To be tumescent
some employ a thesaurus,
others…viagra!

An Autumn Moment

 
The veil is thinning
now as daylight slips
beyond horizon’s edge,
and trees begin to shed
once verdant leaflets,
letting go, embracing
nakedness, airbrushed
against a crimson sky.
