Haiku – 9/7/2019
Dark storm clouds have cleared
Ushering in bright blue skies
Hot and sunny days

I made a vow to myself to try and post every single day until the end of the year once September started. Guess I am going to miss that goal. Oops. I didn’t see a cold hitting me hard or a hurricane knocking on the door. We are inland enough not to feel or see Dorian’s wrath, but we were close enough to have school closed for two days. That along with the cold caused me to stop posting. Hope I am going to get back to it today with this Haiku. Have a great weekend.

Haiku – 3 Looks at Carry
Amusement park closed
Daddy carries his daughter
Passed out in his arms
+
A boat on the sea
Waves carry the brave sailor
Forward towards home
+
Through the fire and flames
One by one he carried them
No man left behind

I kept hearing these songs when I wrote this.
I thought I would share.

Movie Review Haiku: History of the Eagles
Classic Eagles songs
Gentle, smooth, takes you away
Sets your mind at ease

(5 Stars out of 5)
I just finished watching this Music Documentary on Netflix. If you have that streaming service you should stop reading, and head on over there now. This is a fascinating watch that showcases the Eagles career in great detail. I knew a lot about them, but this documentary really shines a light on what this band was like from the inside and out. I can’t recommend this one enough. It has put me back in an Eagles mood once again, and honestly that mood isn’t hard to get back into once you start listening to their music. Such a great band that gave us so many great songs. I will shut up now.
So, Eagles fan or not? Spill it below.

Haiku – Journey
A classic rock band
Great music and smooth vocals
The sound of my youth
++++
New School
vs.
Old School
++++
I will always lean to the Steve Perry years because that is what I know and grew up on, but that song Resonate is pretty solid. I hadn’t heard it before I worked on this post and wound up listening to it a few times. Really, really, good song – solid like they have always been even with a new lead singer.
So, your call, New School or Old School, what’s your choice?

Haiku – Last Night’s Run – (6/19/2013)
Aerosmith – good tunes
Three and a half solid miles
Lightning bugs flashing
(this song really got me moving last night)

Some more good reasons to drink coffee, helps with running as well.
Caffeine (in coffee or otherwise) improves performance… Hundreds of studies have shown that consuming caffeine before a physical challenge likely helps subjects go farther and faster than when they go without it. This effect holds true in studies of both endurance athletes and sprinters.

Haiku – Falling Raindrops
Tiny, small rain drops
Tumbling, falling from the sky
Cascading shower
…
Trees drip with water
Rain shower washing them clean
Nourishment for Spring
…
Clouds of ashen grey
Hold hostage the sun above
Release date, unknown
…
White bark on the tree
Rain, a river racing down
Forming small puddles
…
Do you Haiku? If you do, maybe you could throw a few rain based Haiku my way. Just drop them in the comment section below.
