The flames of first love
A spark ignites the fire
Love keeps it burning

Haiku – Salute
Honor the fallen
Give thanks to those who still serve
Brave men and women
+
No matter what your feelings may be about the current wars we have faced, we still need to honor those who have fought hard and died while serving America. Today, put your personal feelings aside, because when you look into the face of war the people fighting it are sons and daughters. They have families who love and care for them just as we love our own families. Let’s not forget that on Veteran’s Day.

Haiku – Washed In
Just back from the beach
Happy times and lots of fun
With my family
+
In case you guys were wondering where I’ve been. I took a much-needed trip down to the coast to spend some time with my family. My wife and I agreed to leave all electronics behind (except for my Kindle of course), and just get back to family time. My mom and dad along with my son also went with us. Nothing greater than seeing your 2-year-old collecting shells, and loving the beach.
I also want to remind all of you that a lot of my stories are running free today – I’ve mentioned in a recent post that my Zombie stuff is free (yeah, Walking Dead is back), but this story is also running free. Take a ride if you dare with these two short horror stories. Vroom! Vroom! Doom! Doom!

Hard day to get up on, but a good one. My son is officially 2 today. I just can’t believe how fast the time has gone. I just wanted to wish him a Happy Birthday!
Okay, now off to get a little coffee and get my stay at home dad day started. Who would like to kick back and play in the sand today? A beach sounds great about right now.

Misty drizzly day
Grey and fog-like atmosphere
Day starts out with gloom

Like a wave, the music flows
A soft gentle ease

My son and I together
Happy bonding time

Haiku – Day out with my Son
Horde:
A tossing of bread
Swarmed and surrounded quickly
Ducks and geese go wild
Sanctuary:
Shadowy and cool
Oasis from the hot sun
Escaping the heat
Water Line:
Son in his stroller
Tossing food into the lake
Ducks fight and scramble
-
Poem – Water View
Feeding the ducks
Down by the lake
Cool breeze in the shade
Summer heat starting to bake

My son and I
Enjoying the day
Snack time
A good place to stay

I’m your favorite toy
Roughed, stuffed, and loved
Protector from the night’s monsters
While your gentle soul sleeps
