creatures of fur, fang, and claw
mount stairs to bedroom

cannot sleep tonight
half-moon’s eye peeks in window
chases dreams away

someday…rest in peace
mother speaks to me in dreams
her voice reassures

In response to Ingrid’s visionary poetic prompt at dVerse poets…for dreamers only!

exposed to covid
wondering if you will die
slight cough a symptom?
Note on title: a friend dubbed Covid-19 the “Wu Flu” since it originated in Wuhan, China. Linking to dVerse poets where Frank J. Tassone hosts “jisei”; Japanese death poetry.

ancient stone pillars
“how impressive!” people say
snow covers rubble

inspired by this classic haiku:
“An ancient road,” they say
How charming
Though beneath this snow.

A few years ago, I climbed Mt. Torreys with my brother who has climbed many of Colorado’s 14ers. (Photo found at all trails)
inhale mountain air
top-of-world experience
scale barren summit
bird’s eye view of blue vista
worth gulping lungs, aching legs
