anemone-flower-1680x1050

She paints doors on trees

And slips inside unseen, sly

Dryad or mad girl?

He stoops by the trash

Conversing with a broken

Television set

=

Trip to earth pending

Papier-mâché Goddess glues

Stars to her suitcase

=

Martian anemones

Grow underneath her mailbox

Presents from above

 =

Tethered to the  moon

By an inky ribbon, my

Unsteady head trips

=

She draws dragonflies

By her eyes, Venusian

Priestess, chasing flight

=

Submission was for

Haiku Heights

But alas I was too late! I have been insanely busy and this weekend probably won’t be much better *sigh*

  1. Oh wow, SO good. I love the first one and this:

    “Martian anemones
    Grow underneath her mailbox”

  2. “She paints doors on trees and slips inside unseen.” EASILY, hands down the FRICKIN’ coolest line I have read this whole week!! Wow. Could be a song. Spectacular imagery.

      1. I read that with my mouth wide open (attracting flies) in awe. One of those “DAMN! Wish I wrote that” moments. You have a gift!

  3. otherworldly images, daydreams, or are they just separate takes on reality; captured in snapshots of words and photocopied to my mind? Amazing stuff!
