one poet in the crowd

here we are now
take your time—hurry up
nevermind

another year
watching the geese
come and go

be tenacious
yet soft-hearted—catkins
on swaying boughs

Oops— it was the citizenship in society merit badge, not community

He did not do that, according to the scouts, but the scouts did give up DEIA and have removed the the citizenship in the community merit badge—which taught scouts not to be bigots and to stand up for people being bullied because of their disability, race, country of origin, religion, gender etc.

While its mainly women the Heritage Foundation types want to control, they don’t mind controlling men too to some extent if it furthers their agenda. They are so hierarchical and even among men there is a hierarchy.

day arrives
the songs of birds
and machinery

blue egg
so easily broken
earth story

#dailyhaikuprompt #haiku

winter morning
red-winged blackbirds passing
notes through the trees

#dailyhaikuprompt #haiku

snarls in dark woods
I tell myself
its only wind

The NYT article I read said the version that passed the House would required the proof of citizenship documents every time you vote but that it won’t be able to get 60 votes for cloture in the Senate.

Didn‘t the version the House voted on this week say you have to present the documents every time you vote, not just when you register?

crocuses
in new places

the city
soaked with rain
persists

12” Princess Leia doll wearing a red knit hat with a tassel

Photo of a mini Melt the Ice Hat, which is a hat with a tassel knit from red wool yarn. A safety pin is next to it so that the hat can be pinned to clothing as a badge

Only had a small amount of red yarn so I knit the 3D version of the Melt the Ice Badge, which is a free knitting pattern by Hasani and available on Ravelry. It can be pinned on to clothing as a badge. As a bonus, it fits my childhood Princess Leia doll. #ICEOUT #MeltTheICE #craftivism #knitsky

clouds so thick
I’m craving
bean soup

winter morning
the city sketched
with charcoal

#dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #senryu

city congestion
drift with the clouds
to the mountains

#dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #senryu

twigs and seed heads
the soft browns of winter
song sparrows

#dailyhaikuprompt #haiku

quiet morning cold
called awake, to break
from fuchsia dreams

#dailyhaikuprompt #haiku

a spark flies up
with night’s smoke
or is it a moth

#dailyhaikuprompt #haiku

old photographs
sometimes I forget
snow‘s silence

#dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #senryu

sunset fireplace
electric candles flicker
I pretend I’m warm

#dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #senryu

falling stars
the eggplant blossoms
look away

#dailyhaikuprompt #haiku

I believe they did have it.

around new year’s pond
goldenrod has turned to straw
we count the geese

#dailyhaikuprompt #haiku

loose thread
should I cut? Mend? Or just risk
unraveling

#dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #senryu

clear sky
yet I see
clouds

#dailyhaikuprompt #haiku

all that glitters
is not cold— yet sometimes gold
sun and ice meet
