The memory drifts
Ripples the fabric of time
Watching ocean waves

Haiku – Departing Storm
Clouds racing – chasing
Across the deep daylight blue
Hint of storm – fading

Haiku – 42 in May
Record low today
Summer knocked, no one answered
Why so cold in May?
Record low for this morning is 43 degrees in Raleigh, N.C. We made it down to 42. This is so unbelievable for Memorial Day weekend. Weird weather.

Poem – Bruised Purple Sky
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.

Haiku – Pink Snow
Gentle breeze blowing
Cherry tree in full blossom
Snowing pink snow flakes

Haiku – Owl
I hear you hooting
Hoot, hoot, hooting all night long
Perched on your tree branch

I hear you singing
The song of the Nightingale
Chirping low and sweet

Cool morning mist hangs
Soft veil upon the shoreline

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
Living green and free

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
