Well, why not some Haikus?
The Albatross
Messenger of light,
the Albatross spreads his wings
over rough waters.

Before carnival
Rare silent night
Expectant of carnival
Street sleeps, eyes open.

Yes, and it finishes only on the weekend after Carnival. Ash Wednesday has been ignores of late
PreCarnival Saturday
Clouds cover the sun
Songs and music from afar
Birds shut their small beaks.

Lol! Cute poem, surprising title. :)
Sunday Morning
Chilly weather, empty spaces.
Sun essaying timid break

Enjoyed ! The dogs must be out again below :)
My title is a chess term: an intermediate move or movement; the translation from the German being "intermediate train" according to google translate.

Enjoyed this stormy poem.
re:"Out" completing "break" on the line above.Removed the stupid full stop before.
Perhaps in fall
Summer storms here,
trees falling on cars and streets.
Order becones after chaos?
Very grim there... hanging in there here. Going to bed before the power goes out soon... so very surprised it hasn't yet with the "flickers" we've had.

Summer Rain
Water pouring down,
alleys become rivers
taking everything with them.
Sounds like much of California... except for the Summer part... enjoyed ! :)

Daffodils
Beaming in the sun,

An ekphrastic haiku I wrote about a pix of an elderly man (maybe my age, lol) sitting in a chair, on a deck, on a calm day, staring out into the distance with a shore nearby... I posted on a generic fb poetry site somewhere today...

contentment well earned

my right hand: 2-haiku
the effects of a 16-lb bowling ball torqued at release endlessly for decades upon the hand
my pink hand's numbness
tortured wrist from lift and turn
pins and needles seethe
a palmist's nightmare: one too many lines
a once calloused thumb
opposes fingertips, palm
a knife's scar betrays

A handy post
Hope right hand improves
Presently believe in phi-
sio therapic help.
Enjoyed :) Aw, the Greek letter 'phi'... "In ecology, site survival probability, or the probability that a species will continue to occupy a site if it was there the previous year."... most appropriate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phi... agree, perhaps someday :)
Our turn for the heat begins:
as changeable as the whether (sic)
weed eating the grounds
Spring's greenery giving way
to triple digits ?
