~Greenie: Fingernail Moon

Fingernail moon
scrapes across the sky
shimmering through the leaves
as a breeze makes them sigh
~
Haiku Moon

The moon as a bowl
Filling the dark sky with stars
Beauty in the night

Prewritten: torpedo, frolic

~Greymane: Something More

Torpedo off the broken bow
Collusion on the shore
We’ll frolic straight to Hell somehow but pray for something more
We’ll wish we had a second chance but wishes follow need
We’ll gather for the coming storm to watch each other bleed
We’ll watch the fury fill the sky from where we dare to hide
We’ll huddle close and unify and build our strength inside
We’ll wait until the mourning comes and stand beside the light
pleased with what the world becomes beyond the endless night

~BarTalk: Initiation

Words, targeted missiles
Anger’s hundred torpedoes
Began as folly, in jest
In a contest to be best
Pledges frolic, one dead

~

animal friends

porpoises frolic
hyenas laugh
mosquitoes torpedo
but everyone’s honey is
the bee with a buzz on

lurking in the sand

Impromptu: parade

~Matttt: Parade

Thunderous marching
The bass and drums filled our breast
Strutting down the street

Surreal dragon floats
Candy is tossed in the air
Happy kids scurry

Twirling batons fly
The drum major steps up high
Strolling down the street

~

~BarTalk: 5-7-5 x 3

world grows one by one
parade of generations
hope grows two by two
~
red, white and blue flags
clowns, bands, politics parade
in garish display
~
patriotism
men in camouflage parade
fodder for next time
