Crunchy yellow leaves
A thick blanket of color
On the summer grass
The First One:
Yellow and brown leaves
River Birch changing early
Signs of things to come
The Second One:
Orange color creeps
Consuming Summer’s green leaves
Autumn almost here

Haiku – The “Alone in the Dark” Run
Cool of the night-time
Sliver of moon winking down
Shadows dark and thick
+
Here are a couple of songs that fit perfectly with this run (though I didn’t listen to either one last night, nope, listened to Van Halen instead – something about them that is good to run to).
In case you were wondering why I didn’t post this last night. The reason was that I had posted a lot to this blog on Friday, so I thought I would give you guys a break. I don’t like to bombard with posts. I apologize if I ever do. There’s just a lot going on right now for me, as I try to get the word out.
A couple of reminders before I go: My collection of 6 Horror Short Stories is still running free today. Grab a copy if you haven’t gotten one already. Also, don’t forget about my Goodreads Giveaway. That’s all. Take care, and have a great Saturday.

Haiku – Cool September Showers
Wind rattled tree leaves
Grey, damp, dark, and dreary day
Rain puddles linger

2 Looks at Space
Infinite blackness
Stretching far beyond the stars
Into the unknown

Claustrophobia
Confined in a tight dark space
Buried under dirt

Haiku – The “Into the Night” Run
Dinner smells wafting
In the late September heat
Last gasp for summer
+
What’s up with this heat business right now? I thought almost 90 was a by-gone Summer thing. Here it is Mid-September and it feels like Summer. Fall starts Tuesday though, we will see how it goes after that. Good run tonight overall, and Thursday – the one I didn’t post about. I can’t wait for cooler days. How about you? Will you miss the Summer or can you not wait for Fall?

Poem – D.I.Y. Author
I contort the pages
Force them into a new shape and form
They adjust uncomfortably
Electronic words are not the norm
+
I have been going round and round with my Microsoft Word files the past few days. I’ve now discovered a new way to make my EBooks look great in the Kindle and other EReaders – I think. It seems to be working so far, but it involves a lot of trial and error.
The problem I am having is that when I wrote most of my stuff it was meant for print. I just popped open a Word file and started banging away on the keys. With EBooks though you got to nurse it, massage it, take it out to dinner a couple of times before it gives up the goods. You have to go in and manually set a lot of the margins, tabs, and so forth. It is a nightmare on an OCD guy like me. At what point do you just let it go? I could tweak on these things forever. And on top of all that I keep hearing how Word is the devil when it comes to making EBooks. Again, it’s all I have ever used, so my stuff is frozen in Word. Guess I got to just work with what I got.
Your thoughts. Do you hire people to do make your EBooks or are you one of those who go in like I do and try to do it themselves?
If you have an EBook you might want to look into these two sites. Both helped me along the way, and are helping me still.

Haiku – Coffee in the Pot
Early morning blah
My body needs some caffeine
To get me moving
+
Hard day to get up on, but a good one. My son is officially 2 today. I just can’t believe how fast the time has gone. I just wanted to wish him a Happy Birthday!
Okay, now off to get a little coffee and get my stay at home dad day started. Who would like to kick back and play in the sand today? A beach sounds great about right now.

Machine specter chugging fast
Empty rails rattle

Haiku – Thoughts about Trains
Haunted by our past
Trains once rolled into these camps
Few came out alive

A steam engine roars
Click and clack of the steel wheels
Riding on the rails

Haiku – The Severed Hand
Crawling towards me
Dead rotten moldy fingers
Scratching up the floor

One of the best scenes in all of horror for severed hands. Watch and enjoy.
