Abandoned haiku blog
My door open, but
the rooms are empty, thoughts like
forgotten relics.

Stories always tell
of the one who wanders, then
returns home…like me.
Unemployed Christmas
Can days be merry
and bright? Jobs – like ornaments –

swift moving waters

Senior Ball
Formally over

her indifference.
