Whacked

weekend wordsmith prompt: contract

A failed coup d'etat
Plot discovered, leader found
He sleeps with fishes

Stinky

attack of the mulching maniacs

Something's in the air
Hold your breath, close the windows
Springtime smells like poop

Retained

the shoe drops

Job goes on, for now
Relief - sadness for others
Ten percent laid off

So Glad I'm Gone

maria reminds me...

tornado warnings,
thunder storms, golf ball-size hail
don't miss Texas spring

Expired

weekend wordsmith prompt: passport

Early trips abroad
England, France and Italy
Passport long timed-out

Lulu's New Haiku Milieu

i've joined spring haiku 2009

Find me here and there
Some posts more haiku-ier
Others not so much

False Start

the calendar says spring

White flakes large and small
bewilder little Red Breast
Snow on Spring's first day

The Jay

waiting at the stoplight

Eye-catching blue flash
in the still-brown roadside grass
Springtime harbinger
