Beautiful treasures
Collect dust in our cupboards
As if things matter.

Shadow’s Truth
Famous scene from F.W. Murnau’s 1922 silent classic ‘Nosferatu.’
Sinister shadows,
images captured in silhouette
hint at hidden truths.

Surged – A Haiku
Numbers flash crimson
L.E.D.’s demand reboots…
a luddite’s nightmare!
kat 13 February 2016
This haiku is in response to TJ’s Household Haiku Challenge. This week’s challenge prompt: house number. I live in an old house prone to electrical surges. As you can imagine, technology is not my friend when it comes to the clocks everywhere from each appliance in my kitchen to alarm clocks to cable boxes!!! It’s a nightmare!!! 😳 And just when I get them all changed…another surge!!!

A treasured timepiece,
he gave it to his grandson
then kicked the bucket!kat ~ 7 February 2016
Oops! I missed last week’s challenge…”Bucket” so I did a combo this week! Two Prompts then: “Watch” (Timepiece) and “Bucket. Thanks to TJ for faithfully hosting this weekly challenge even though some of are out to lunch! I’m blaming it on the groundhog! 😊

Wood – A Few Haiku
A couple of Haiku in response to TJs Household Haiku Challenge…to write about Wood as it inhabits our homes and daily lives.
The first features the newspaper that graces my front porch informing my day with the world’s events. I forget sometimes that these inky sheets of pulp were once trees.
My second Haiku reminds me how far we have come with technology and everyday innovations that enrich and enhance how we live our lives. Once upon a time, dentures were made of wood! Today we have beautiful enamels and veneers, but our first president never had the pleasure or, I’m guessing, the comfort of well-fitted teeth. We have certainly come a long way!

The Daily Beat
Pulpy sheets of wood
Fuel water cooler powwows
With the daily beat.
Painting by Gilbert Stuart
Shuttered Smile
With teeth made of wood
He never smiled in portraiture
George Washington on ice.
