carnival chain cough debate flux friday haiku love meme my love poetry rain rainy sick sweetie

Apples and honey
rain drops dance, september walks
l’shana tova
beginnings straddle
endings, sorry crosses love
white cloud and still voice
apple-y honey, sweet
are friends who stretch oak-like arms
billow cool warmth, peace

911 break-up carnival chain cough divorce 9-11 flux friday goodbye haiku hopes love meme my love poetry rain rainy september 11 sorry sweetie

i remember you
and the laughs, learning, stretching
i didn’t count then.
smell of hotel, but
I now lived there, two whole days
on nine-eleven.
I don’t remember
how or why i left… and stayed
gone, away, alone.
I only knew: go.
blue hits brown bark , feet concrete
sorry paled, I know.
thought i broke the world
that day. steel spokes, dusty hearts —
that concrete block of ache.
split we must. perhaps.
weren’t ready or able then.
new loves get those selves.
still… sorry i am
pale though it does, i cling. might
you remember me?

cable carnival chain customer service fios flux friday haiku haiku friday internet love meme mistake my love oops poetry rain rainy sick splitter sweetie tech tech support technology tv Verizon

This week Haiku Friday is also Flashback Friday – ahh verizon.
Fios down again

No lights on the dash

He doesn’t hang up
or transfer me to wireless
We chat. for… hours
