A season crawls out of the black
Awakened from its cold slumber
Kissed by the warmth of the sun
Birds sing praises as it returns

Haiku – Spring Rising 5
Birds singing, ringing
Trees full with oncoming spring
The Earth starts to thaw

Poem – Inland Tropics
A trade wind style breeze
Shifting, Sifting, Sliding
Across the room
Rolling the soft white curtains
Like a gentle ocean wave

Haiku – The “Big Splash of Sunshine” Run
My legs they pounded
Under a bewitching blue
A warm sun above
•
I’m really starting to enjoy running in this nice weather. I know it isn’t spring yet, but it felt like it today. Nice to not have to wear the winter gear, just shorts and a tee-shirt. So nice.

Haiku – The “Post Snow” Run
Warm gentle breezes
Cloudless sun filled sky above
A nice run today
•
So nice to have a sun filled day. It seems like I always have to deal with cold, wind, foul weather or all three combined when I run. So nice to catch a break. Maybe spring is about to spring. Hope so.

Poem – Coastal Mix
A dash of sunlight
Mix in a splash of palm tree
Dust it with the ocean
Sprinkle it with sand
Add some warm weather
Put your feet up
Drink it all in

Poem – Morning Fog
Tendrils of misty white
Cold grey thickness
Land densely covered
Hidden in the soggy gloom

Haiku – The “Freezing My Butt Off” Run
Thrash Metal thumping
Viking Metal pounding loud
A cold run today
•
Digging this new Thrash Metal group, Municipal Waste. Downloaded three songs by them, good to warm up to.
•
I also figured it was time to catch up with the rest of the world, so I downloaded a Manowar album to listen to. Great stuff.

Haiku – The “Post Snow” Run
Footsteps tread lightly
Crossing snow’s lingering corpse
Dying in the sun
•
Finally got to run in the snow today, of course, it was only in the shade because the rest of it had melted by the time I ran. One day I hope to run while the snow is falling. That has long been a goal of mine, but today, I’ll take what I can get.
By the way, as a sidebar, the Erich Church Album “Chief” is really great. Listened to it for the first time today as I ran. Listened to the song below 4 times. Just couldn’t get enough of it.

Red, blue, light-gray sky
Sunset burning into night
Daylight takes a break

Haiku – Fresh Powder
Snowy frozen land
Blanket of white on the ground
Winter’s bitter cold
•
We finally got a decent amount of snow down here, which is the only part of winter I like. We’ve had our chances, but it always seems to miss us. I know people up North are probably sick of it by now, but if it has to be this cold, why not let it snow? Anybody agree with that statement?

Haiku – The “Here Comes The Sun” Run
Sharply bright sunshine
Out in a cloudless blue sky
Great day to go run
•
Finally, a great day to get outside. It seems like my last three attempts, I have had to deal with rain or cold. Nice to see a cloudless day for a change, and warm for that matter.

Haiku – The “Splish-Splash” Run
Pitter patter splash
Soft rain drops drip, dip, and dash
Feet keeping their stride
•
Nice run today, just barely got inside before the ran started pouring down. I spent most of this walk/run in a steady mist with occasional rain drops, which isn’t bad if it is warm, but if the weather is cooler it can be a pain.

Haiku – Author 16
Grimace as I write
Grimace as I re-write it
Grimace as I hope
•
Not sure if this means I am back to blogging or not, but the subject word at Haiku Heights intrigued me, so I wrote this haiku when I saw it.

Haiku – The “Blue Sky” Run
A sunny nice day
Warmth killing the bitter cold
Muscles are happy
•
Nice to walk/run on a warm day and a non windy day. Hope to get a few more this winter. Hope everyone had a great Christmas.
