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 – 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.

Haiku – Red Sky Morning
Red skies start the day
Somewhere a sailor worries,
as the sails billow

A couple of my favorite songs involving the water and the world around it. Yes, I’m a metal head, but I do enjoy mellow music as well. John Denver goes all the way back to my childhood – listening to it with my dad. R.I.P. John Denver, gone, but not forgotten.

Gentle breeze blowing
Cherry tree in full blossom
Snowing pink snow flakes

Haiku – Songs of Frogs
Under a dark sky
On the big green lily pads
Frogs sing to the rain

Haiku – Grasshopper
Bouncy, bounce, bounce, bounce
Jumpy, jumpy, jump, jump, jump

Haiku – Lighthouse 2
Empty and barren
Alone on a rocky cliff
Ghosts maintain the light
Lighthouse 1
Simple – Powerful
Guardians of the shoreline
Ship’s eyes in the night

Poem – Spring Rising 4
1
A warm April sun
Greets my eyes today
As the cold of night lingers
The rays push it away
2
I turn my face towards the sun
As it rises in the sky, bright blue
The sun casts its loving glow
Wipes away the dew
3
Fragrances fill my nose
In the living smell of Spring
The world is alive
As the birds return and sing

Spring Rising 1
The first day of March
Spring’s growth starting to blossom
Life wakes from slumber
Spring Rising 2
I hear birds chirping
Spring sounds push through the night’s dark
Warm days on the way
Spring Rising 3
Daylight Savings Time
Yes, Spring has sprung all over
Longer nights ahead
