Six years have passed by
Since the day we said I do
It has gone so fast

Poem – Ache
I want to spew,
vomit from my mouth,
when I hear the news.
Massacre they say.
It happens too often.
How many lives?
How many should we lose?
What can be done?
My heart is wrapped in barbed wire,
the barbs cutting deep into the meat,
restricting the flow.
I can’t feel my legs.
I’m numb to the touch.
The victims I pray for.
The loved ones who are left behind.
I pray for you as well.
Life is so fragile.
I can’t believe how quick it goes.
Hold your loved one today.
Hold them tight like you never want them to go.
Love, we all need.
Peace on Earth.
Indeed.
With all the massacres we’ve endured as of late I just thought I had to write something about it. Anyone reading this, for me, please, go and hug your kids. Go and hug your significant other. Call your parents and tell them you love them. Just do something. Make sure your loved ones know how much you love them.

Haiku – Wish
Do you have a wish?
Toss a penny in a well
Hope on fortune’s kiss

Haiku – Christmastime – Part 5
Part 1
Christmastime of year
With a soft white snow falling
Killer spies his prize
Part 2
Cold and all alone
With presents of red and green
She hurries inside
Part 3
Killer makes his move
Jingle bells, detective sees
Feet rush through the snow
Part 4
Killer grips his knife
White lights twinkle in the hall
Victim doesn’t see
Part 5
Gun blasts from behind
Shots echo in the hallway
Killing spree is done

This is something new that I wanted to try. Over the next 5 Sundays I plan to tell a story via Haiku in 5 parts. I hope you enjoy them. Let me know what you think.

Haiku – Chicken Wingz
Plain, mild, hot, or sweet
Wings or drumsticks take your pick
Blue cheese on the side
So, what is your favorite way to have chicken wings?

Haiku – Storm
Sickness engulfing
A virus storm consuming –
all that is human
The prompt this week at Haiku Heights was for the word Storm so since this cold was my week I thought I would do a Haiku about it.

Quickly the days pass
My son, 2 months old today
Time really does fly

Haiku – Tree
For a hot day:
Please, take a shade break
Underneath my big green leaves
Escape from the sun
≈
For the apple tree:
I’ll hold your apples
Until my limbs get too tired –
and uninspired
≈
For the tree entering winter:
My leaves have fallen –
and my limbs are bare again
I can’t wait for spring

Poem – Morning Routine
. . . Baby wakes
My heavy eye lids,
pushed open with the sound
Trudge down the stairs
Dry thirst in my throat,
from the long night’s sleep
Wife wakes,
stumbles like a zombie out of bed,
follows my created footsteps,
to the nursery
Baby’s eyes meet the day
Feeding
Burping
Feeding
Burping
Feeding
Burping
Diaper change
Feeding
Burping
Feeding
Burping
Feeding
Burping
Stomach full
Time for play
Time for sleep
and
peaceful dreams
until
Baby wakes . . .

Poem – Fragile Rotation
Fragile
We are all
Like glass
Easily shattered
Life
Tumbles
Day in – Day out
We evolve
Revolve
Like the spinning door
Around and around we go
Our feet upon this Earth
Who knows?
How long?
We have
Is there life beyond?
A heaven
A hell
Who knows?
Like glass
We are all
Fragile
A Poetry Journey
