morning ritual
who catches my dog
with the missing sock
star jasmine
my puppy takes over
his side of the bed
booby’s feet
the impulse to buy
a pair of bright blue shoes
warm cinnamon roll
I forget my name
in each bite
at the party
only remembering the name
with the sweaty hand
we list our ailments
like we're in competition
in the waiting room . . .
the fishes in the aquarium
vying for attention
These one haiku, four senryu, and one tanka have been published in Failed Haiku 35 (Guest Editor, Michael H. Lester)
