Haiku 801
2/3/20
That I slipped its grasp.
That I let go. That I took.
That now it is mine.
Tanka 158
2/14/20
Take the glass. Swallow
this intoxicating dose
of prime malarkey.
Feel it flick the switch. Get high
Get mighty! Get your strut on!
Haiku 802
2/14/20
Part the icy mist
throw down a handful of sleet
run away laughing
#802 is just like winter impersonating Loki!
Ah, yes! It has been such a long time since I have thought of Loki (I was very interested in gods, goddesses, and the like as a young person, from any culture) You remind me to think about them again! And yet it seems they still have their influence on me.
