The spirit drifts – moves
Transparent nighttime motion
While the world slumbers
(pen and ink provided by my wife)

It was there,
just at the corner,
a twinkle,
a flash,
something quick,
fading out of sight.

Haiku – 5/26/2018
Bright green windswept leaves
Swaying in a soft warm breeze
Storm clouds hanging low

Fear Filled Fridays (5/25/2018): The Attic
The room is cold,
no light filters into the gloom.
A quiet abandoned place,
dark, full of doom.
Footsteps echo,
walking across the floor.
I listen to them move,
as they reach the attic door.
The door opens,
closes back.
Footsteps on the stairs,
on a downward track.
I crawl inside my covers,
listen as the steps draw near.
Should I run?
Should I hide?
The covers shift,
the ghost is by my side.

Nestled in the sand

Fear Filled Fridays (5/18/2018): The Rocking Chair
As the rocking chair creaks,
I lie awake in bed,
with images of ghosts,
dancing in my head.
Why is the rocking chair moving?
Who or what is in the chair?
Rocking all night long,
without a single care.

Haiku – Mom – The True Rock Star
Robbed these two from myself. Not a lot of time to write something for mom this year, but I didn’t want to let the day go by without giving all moms a nod. I’m a stay at home dad and I see first hand how awesome moms are. They are true rock stars. Happy Mother’s Day to all moms out there.

Love, safety, comfort
In the caring arms of mom
All you ever need
+
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?
