Vanish – A Haiku

the fog clears
vanishing to blue
sunburned mist

For Haiku Horizons’ Challenge, Prompt Word, Vanish.


Cherita-Day 22

flag at half staff

sign of tragedy but
which one

school shooting…or
death of a government
official?

Cherita – Day 21

mocha frappé morning

a whipped cream and
chocolate syrup on top kind of day

but it’s a temporary fix,
an indulgence giving me a caffeine high
and brain freeze

~kat~


Another Cherita


it’s already old news…

even as streets, like arteries,
hemorrhage children, demanding

the right to see another day…
pious lawmakers hide and wait
for the rage to bleed out

~kat~


Cherita #20

heaven is falling

her wispy canopy
caressing earth

serenaded by birdsong
swelling in the mist,
mourning doves, blue jays, chickadees, cowbirds, and crows
