A Room of My Own: 3 A.M. Crescent Haiku

3 a.m. crescent
in the bedroom skylight 
dust motes drift


FYI: This haiku could be read as a sequel to mine below:

again her smile fades ...
I awaken to the silence
of a hazy crescent



Added:

bed unmade
I lie down beside
the hidden self


Added:

mail on the table
I read it twice, once in mind 
a week ago


Added:

a baseball bat
beside chained tires in the yard 
foreclosure tilted


FYI: This haiku could be read as a sequel to the following:

fence line 
crowded with baseball caps
World Series eve


crack of the bat
a roar of voices chasing
the sky-high ball



Added: Politics of Distraction, X:

waking in cold sweat
from dreams of a strait blockade:
the liar arrives
to save the strangled victim
by pressing down the pillow


FYI: Trump stated on Truth Social: If Iran did not agree to a deal, the bombing starts, and it will be, sadly, at a much higher level and intensity than it was before ... (BBC News, May10)

And his tanka is a sequel to the following:

Politics of Distraction, IX:

blocking the blockade
to break the strait blockade ...
in gathering dark
a gin-soaked flight to nowhere
through the un/truth of this war



Added: Trump Empire, Inc, XCIII

the White House
shadowed against sunset skies
Four More Years askew


FYI: This is a sequel to the following:

Trump Empire, Inc, XCII

            Donald Trump
                 $20,28 per gallon
             America First
the MAGA-hatted man’s stare
bores holes through his lawn sign
