Sands of time drifting
The calendar pages flip
Days turn into years

Haiku – Yawn
Alarm clock ringing
Snooze button my only friend
Yawning as I wake

Haiku – Summer in the City
Ceiling fan spinning
City swelters in the heat
A long summer day

Haiku – Time Painting
On a grand canvas
Time sits and paints memories
All the good and bad

Haiku – Swing
The old man approached
Squeezed into the small white chair
Youthful days returned

Haiku – Time-share
Sands of time move quick
We are tiny soul holders
Drifting through the days

Haiku – Traffic Dance
Jam packed with traffic
Maximum capacity
Can’t see the black top
¢
On our way down to the beach we got into some of the worst traffic I have ever seen. I can’t believe how bad it was. Very, very, stressful, there are just so many cars on the road. I thought I would vent a bit with this Haiku.
I think James Taylor said it best:
-
Haiku – Chivalry
A knight’s grand honor
Protecting the defenseless
With their chivalry

Haiku – Eccentric
Some said he was odd
From his hair to his toe nails
Covered in dark green

Haiku – Stone
Cast me from the shore
I skip across the water
My ultimate dream

Poem – Soldier
What is it like?
To lay your body down.
To spill your blood and life.
Upon the Earthly Ground.
A special thank you to all soldiers and veterans on this day. Your bravery is appreciated.

Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday which occurs every year on the final Monday of May.[1] Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.[2] Formerly known as Decoration Day, it originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the Union and Confederate soldiers who died in the Civil War. By the 20th century, Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died while in the military service[3]. It typically marks the start of the summer vacation season, while Labor Day marks its end.

Haiku – Betrayal
Ripped, stripped, and broken
Dignity torn and wasted,
by a barren soul

Haiku – Cast Iron
Cook me up some eggs,
and throw in some bacon too
A perfect breakfast

Best cornbread around
Non stick from the years of grease
Crunchy, light brown crust

Haiku – Daredevil
Evel Knievel
He lived life to the fullest
Risking life and limb

Haiku – To Sleep, Perchance to Purr
Your purring rhythm
Putting me to gentle sleep
After a long day
I wrote this last night – tired and ready for bed. It is tough being a stay at home dad, taking care of my son, trying to write, keep up the house, stay in shape, blog, etc. I even have, not one, but two, grandmothers close by who help me out a few times a week and I still get worn out. Staying home is one of the toughest jobs I have ever had, but you know what, I love it. This is the best job in the world – even on the toughest of days. My hats off to anyone who has done this job or who is currently doing this job. So rewarding.
By the way, more of a cat man than a dog man. Just me. They put me at ease. How about you? Cat or dog person. Just leave me your answer and a why attached to it.

Haiku – Gluten, How I Love Thee, Let Me Count The Ways.
Gluten free, that’s me
Yes, it’s the doctor’s orders
I have to do it
I have been hit with this restriction. I have to go Gluten free for a while, possibly the rest of my life. Anybody else out there have to deal with this? It is a pain in the butt. Feel free to share your thoughts on it, if you are effected by it.

Celiac disease is an autoimmune digestive disease that damages the villi of the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food. What does this mean? Essentially the body is attacking itself every time a person with celiac consumes gluten.

Haiku – Pariah
A human cancer
Through the crowd you move, snake-like
Bombs explode – carnage

Haiku – Incense
The man screamed in pain
Transformation burned and raged
In the full moon light
§
The girl inhaled deep
Exhaled with cannabis bliss
Incense burning sweet
§
Smell of rose aroma
Fills the small and tiny room
Vampire waits for dark
