Cast me from the shore
I skip across the water
My ultimate dream

Poem – Soldier
What is it like?
To lay your body down.
To spill your blood and life.
Upon the Earthly Ground.
A special thank you to all soldiers and veterans on this day. Your bravery is appreciated.

Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday which occurs every year on the final Monday of May.[1] Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.[2] Formerly known as Decoration Day, it originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the Union and Confederate soldiers who died in the Civil War. By the 20th century, Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died while in the military service[3]. It typically marks the start of the summer vacation season, while Labor Day marks its end.

Haiku – 42 in May
Record low today
Summer knocked, no one answered
Why so cold in May?
Record low for this morning is 43 degrees in Raleigh, N.C. We made it down to 42. This is so unbelievable for Memorial Day weekend. Weird weather.

Haiku – Today’s Run – (5/24/2013)
Dark and stormy skies,
are painted across the day
3 miles – sun erupts

Haiku – The Day The Music Died
It all passed away
Leaving a radio corpse,
and lifeless music
Paul Simon inspired this Haiku so here’s something by him.

Haiku – Betrayal
Ripped, stripped, and broken
Dignity torn and wasted,
by a barren soul

Poem – Bruised Purple Sky
Day-light choking,
strangled out by darkening clouds.
Severe storm warning,
thunder sounds.

Poem – Tornado
A barren land,
left in your wake.
Lives and homes destroyed,
by the path that you take.
I thought I was taking a small break, but this tornado today has really bothered me so I had to write something about it. Just seeing all the damage and destruction and hearing about all the lives lost has really put me at a loss. My heart and my prayers go out to them and not only them, but all of those who have faced something like this.

Haiku – Tanked 4
My brain feels so flat
I am a little burnt out
Taking a small break
§
Tanked 1
Nothing in the tank
It is just empty and dry
I need some new juice
Tanked 2
Running on empty
Nothing to write for this blog
Juices flowing slow
Tanked 3
Baby sick this week
My mind turned down to zero
Creative flat line
§
I think I might take a few days away from this blog. Just need to get the creative juices flowing again. I’m also trying to finish the rewrite to my next novel so I need to buckle down. If you don’t see a post or two for a few days, just know, I will be back – hopefully? Thanks again for following.

Haiku – KISS II
Hard Rock spectacle
Fire spewing and spitting blood
A legion of fans
Part 1
A classic live show
With dynamic stage effects
Where’s the Hall of Fame?

Haiku – Cast Iron
Cook me up some eggs,
and throw in some bacon too
A perfect breakfast
•
Best cornbread around
Non stick from the years of grease
Crunchy, light brown crust

Haiku – Chill
What’s this, cool again?
Summer is ever so close
Winter’s grasp lingers
Cold morning again and a cool day as well. I really can’t believe this is May already. Where is the Spring? Summer is getting close and we still really haven’t had a solid Spring. Winter really is tough to kick this year.

Poem and Haiku – Happy Mother’s Day!
A blessing from God
True love within her kind heart
Soul full of joy
•
I wrote this poem a while back and posted it to this blog last year around this time. I thought I would re-post it in honor of this special day.
How to describe a mom,
well,
it may be too hard to do,
without leaving out,
too many things,
that are true.
For a mom is a blessing,
a true gift from God,
her patience and virtue,
is something,
you could never prod?

With stories you tell

Haiku – Homeward
Familiar sights, sounds
Waiting to welcome you back
Comfort wrapped in love

What is it about coming back home after a day, a week, maybe longer, away? There is just so much joy in walking through that door and seeing all you love and cherish, from your adoring spouse, to your favorite chair. Here’s your chance to be a part of this blog. Feel like a Haiku then please drop me one in the comments below concerning home. I would love to hear how you feel about the place you live in.
