Good Old Five Seven Five


Soon the green will red
As I am red-ing now, too
The autumn is come

More solar power
Fields of giant wind turbines
Greener, smarter grid

The Daily Haiku from Carpe Diem

Carpe Diem's Haiku Prompt: Castle


spiral-staired towers
crenelated walls, dungeons
make castles and men


castle medieval
stone cold and swamp damp within
we are safely kept


neurotics' sky-castles
wherein dwell psychotics
while shrinks collect rent


blue-backed playing cards
all holding each other up
don't bump the table!

where once was glory
now a skeleton of stones
haunting a low hill
