In the big soft chair
Football on the TV screen
Rooting for my team

Haiku – Butter
How easy you melt
Dripping, sliding as you warm
Falling off the toast

Haiku – Big Game
Like a wilted rose
She hangs her head, softly weeps
Her team defeated

Haiku – Ballet Dancer
You twist, turn, and glide
On toes made up of light steel
That seem so fragile

Haiku – Shepherd
The wolves are howling
Safely you guide your scared flock
With nerves of hard steel

Haiku – Pigskin
100 green yards
Cleats, end zones, and bruising hits
Football time again

Love, love, love, this time of year. Fall is around the corner and my favorite sport is starting to fire up. College this weekend and then NFL the next, just a great time to be a fan.

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

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

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

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

The old man approached
Squeezed into the small white chair

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
