STILL LIFE WITH FROG

I purchased an egg
There was a green frog inside
I took a picture

#Haiku #Senryu #17Syllables
#PoultryCoroner 🦆🦆🦆🐸

A frog that was inside the egg, along with the egg, my lighter, le Petit Outil de Malheur in its Christmas themed holder, a cigarette box, and a cup of tea.

All artfully arranged and edited to a faded feeling.

autumn rain so soft
upon the earth ... 'til apples

#haiku #senryu #poem #ShortPoem #climate #change #ClimateChange #psychology #sociology #society

Climate snaps routine.
We expect worse, yet change shocks.
Change is worse than worse.

Some notes on that...

I often quote the late Prof. Amar Bose, founder of the Bose corporation, from something I heard him say at a lecture to the MIT Enterprise Forum decades ago. He spoke of about the frustration sales people at audio stores expressed about the need to set up Bose equipment differently than other sound equipment. They wanted it to be the same. He said they had to evolve the expression "Better implies different." He explained that one of the characteristics of betterness is that it meant doing something different, breaking routine.

It occurred to me today that this applies in the reverse direction, too. It may seem obvious but we behave as a society as if it's not: We expect Climate Change to make things worse, but we expect those "things" to be the same. We expect to still grow up, go to school, go to stores, chat with friends, go to movies, vacation, travel. And yet Climate Change will create fundamental obstacles that may make these things not just harder but perhaps not possible. Perhaps far sooner than we think. Look at how much a simple thing like Covid affected things, and then multiply that enormously.

In effect, worse implies different.

I don't think we're prepared.

TRAIN HAIKU

We're at the airport
About half the train gets off
Half that gets back on

#Haiku #Senryu #17Syllables

Autumn leaves swirl down,
Dappled sunbeams dance on vines.
Seeds fall to the ground,
Spices warm the autumn air,
New life waits beneath the eaves.

Due to timezones differences (probably) the prompts for daily haikus come out late on Saturday for me, so I took all the words from last week and put them into a tanka.

Ha. Not quite millions, but I am happy to see Climate issues featured in any venue, so thanks for having done that. I've tried to keep them coming.

You perhaps know but you can look to this if you want to see them collected: https://climatejustice.social/@kentpitman/tagged/haiku

And thanks for featuring the 9/11 post. I was pretty pleased with how that came out. It's been well-received by those I know who've read it.

Carry on. :)

Flowers, bees. Beauty.
All on Climate chopping block.
Nor are we immune.

Several thistles, with meticulously regular arrangements of plant-green spines arranged into amazingly precise spheres at the head, adding a classy vibe to an otherwise-messy yard. One of the thistles sports tiny purple blossoms at the end of each spine, turning that thistle's sphere a pastel shade of purple and giving it a softer look than the others near it.
