Hellish summer night
Dampness holds me with moist arms
Soup like pre-storm air
…
Have to dedicate this one to Jimmy Buffett – his music got me through it tonight.

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

Haiku – The “Dagobah” Run
Hot swamp like dense air
Heat of summer all around
Muggy, moist, and thick

Haiku – The “Time Bomb” Run
Hot as an oven
Turned up to extreme high heat
Summer here again

After a few days of no humidity and cooler temperatures, well, old man summer decided to come roaring back. Luckily, I had the shade of clouds in my favor today, but it was still muggy and grueling to walk/run. I was listening to Tesla again. I know, who? That Eighties band. The same one – still digging on them to this day, anyway, the song below pushed me on when I needed it at the end. Going to dedicate this run to it. Hope everyone stays cool.

Haiku – Cool Start
Christmas in July?
Soft breeze, a nip in the air
Nice break from summer
•
I can’t believe how nice it has been outside today. The weather is still warm, but the humidity has gone away. Couldn’t believe it when my son and I sat out on the deck this morning – he in his high chair, me just enjoying it. It made me think about the upcoming holiday season, which I hope to jump-start next week. My short story “A Zombie Christmas” will be running free for the next couple of Fridays on Kindle. Grab a copy to put you in the holiday mood. I also plan to have that story available elsewhere later on in the year. Okay, here’s a little Christmas music to set the mood. I hope you all had a great Fourth of July – thanks for reading and following.

99 cents regular price – free the next two Fridays.
Review:
“Not often do you run across a zombie story with a message. Don’t give up hope. A lesson to be learned & applied in any circumstances. Well written & entertaining.”

Haiku – The “Misty Rain” Run
Dark and overcast
Soft cool rain killing the heat
Healing a parched land

Nice walk, run today. Can’t believe it is July 1st and I can head out for exercise this late in the morning. Weird weather this summer, but I will take it. Okay, who’s looking forward to the fourth?

Poem – ?
My eyes meet the day
Stiff and sore from last night’s run
Body aches with each step I take
Staring at the morning sun
+
We push ourselves
Everything that we do
Day to day life
Turning the screw

I honestly have no idea what to name this one, so I was wondering if you could help. Just drop me your title in the comment section and include a link to your blog. That way I can find a way to pay you back for helping me out.

Haiku – The “Burning Like A Flame” Run
Fire like summer heat
Humid and hot sticky air
A tough one tonight
+
Hard running in late June. I wanted to dedicate this song to anyone out there running in the heat. I know it isn’t running based, but the title really does fit the way I am feeling right now. Never get tired of Dokken.
