Easy like Sunday morning

I have resolved to greet November’s increasing cold with poetry — this morning, that means the Peeking Cat Anthology 2018.   I am therefore sipping black coffee and reading a poem by R. J. Davey — those are two things that ought to wake my ass up.  (I also just noticed a great illustration by Preeti Singh entitled “The tamed wilderness.”)

“Blue Bloom Haiku,” by Eric Robert Nolan

This November 3rd’s
single bright blue bloom rebels —
summer’s lone holdout.

 

Hey, am I nuts, or does the interior of this flower look like an inverted pentagram?  Have I just been watching too many horror movies?

“Autumn Leaves Haiku,” by Eric Robert Nolan

Eddying yellows,
falling shards of broken sun
swirl down in citron.
