Sitting on a bench
Watching his son as he plays
Time goes way too fast

Haiku – Double Edged
A rose has two sides
Cut by its sharp sticky thorns
Kissed by its beauty

Sunday Inspiration
I posted this one to my other blog this morning. I thought I might share it here as well. A post about Father’s Day, so have a happy one to all you dads out there.

Haiku – Scorcher
Sunshine and blue skies
Like a hot burning fire
Day starting to bake
+
I wrote this one this morning when my son and I went out for a walk to the park. I thought we went early, but by the time we got home at 9:15 we were sweating buckets. The site A Prompt Each Day had the word “fire” as the prompt for the day, and I thought this Haiku would fit that prompt perfectly.

Haiku – Secret
Man picks up his cell
Hoping the ring was not heard
Strange voice on the phone

Haiku – Hot Expectations
Coffee in my cup
Soft Sunday morning sunrise
Heat wave on the way
+
About to get blasted with heat down here in N.C. – four-day stretch next week for highs: 99, 100, 98, 99. And that isn’t even factoring in the heat index. Guess summer his here.
How do you deal with the heat?
Me, just stick inside where it is cool.

Haiku – Proud
Sleeping through the night
Son in his big boy bed
First time, all night long
+
My son has just moved over to his big boy bed. One day the crib, next his big boy bed. Growing so fast. I thought I would share this news, because I am so proud of him. I don’t know if you have seen this blog or not, but I have started talking about being not only a parent, but a stay at home dad. You can check out that blog here: daddystayhome.wordpress.com
How did you parents reading this handle your child’s sleep transition? Just curious.

Haiku – Welcome Moisture
A barren parched land
Drops of rain falling softly
Quenching nature’s thirst

Haiku – Calling all Sprinklers
Heat wave coming on
Days filled with ninety degrees
Starting to cook here

Haiku – Witchy Woman
The wicked green witch
On her brown broomstick she rides
Laughing at their tears
