Corey Haim

When Robert Frost wrote
“Nothing gold can stay,” he could
have described child stars.

Fishbowl

Bored orange nibbles
away black’s filmy fins. Sad
stubs flail lost beauty.

Goldfield Hotel

Would you check into
a portal to hell? Watching
on TV’s enough.

Miniature schnauzer

Eyes hidden under
shaggy white brows, I can still
see them shine with love

Jersey Shore

is they’re all seconds away
from being has-beens.

Long absence

A haiku a day?
After a year away I
need to play catch-up.

Early daffodils

Like green periscopes
tiny shoots peer from muddy
beds searching for sun.

Paperless Christmas

Being green we use
fabric bags old boxes to
wrap gifts. No trees die.

Christmas LED lights

Like laser pointers
they blind in red green blue as
they save the planet
