wanting it to be
feeling great expectation
the thing with feathers

243-262: Ring Haiku (You Can Now Comment On This Blog)
"Such a good husband,"
they said, without noticing
he took off his ring
Phones no longer ring
but they take endless photos
and hail people cabs
An interesting ring
inside a cereal box
just made a kid's day
I see it as sad
My safely deposited
cancelled wedding ring
Take care with cliches
like, "Give me a ring some time."
Take care in this life
Expressions wear rings
rings of falsehood, rings of truth
See and hear them well
A ring a ding ding
Frank Sinatra used to sing-
a hard working king
Poe caught the ringing
of the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells
which ring in my head
Certain things ring true
and the ringing will not stop
until we answer
David had a ring
which was truthfully inscribed
with, "This too shall pass."
I once had a ring
with my Hebrew name on it-
My name is Natah
The name rings a bell
a funky store, long ago
I think, "Rings & Things."
Sometimes I wonder:
Were the Ringling brothers teased
about their last name?
The Olympic rings
make me think of magic tricks-
Tannen's Magic Shop
I keep on writing-
Like a boxer who just wants
to stay in the ring
"The ring is too small"
she said when they got engaged.
This did not bode well.
She gave him the ring
In the past she took it back
Now it was over.
Sometimes I flash back
I hear the front door bell ring,
Mother caught off guard.
Mother used to say,
"Don't answer on the first ring,
you seem desperate."
Tony Orlando
sang of "rings on her fingers"
in my parents' home
These haiku were inspired by the prompt - "ring" - from Haiku Horizons. Check out the site.

240-242
I could keep writing
but I can't ignore voices
calling me to live
What do we bank on?
I wonder outside a bank
Is it G-d I trust?
My dependency
gurgles inside my stomach
as I wait for you
but I can't ignore voices
calling me to live
What do we bank on?
I wonder outside a bank
Is it G-d I trust?
My dependency
gurgles inside my stomach
as I wait for you
