Laughter, happiness, joy
They provide for us

Haiku – Breakfast Time
Outside with my son
Good Apple Cinnamon Chex
Making him smile big
+
I love this time of year. You can sit outside, and just enjoy Mother Nature. My son and I love to sit out on the deck. A fun time for us, and easy clean up for me once breakfast is over – bonus.
So, favorite brand of Chex? I’m partially to Corn, Chocolate, or Cinnamon.

Acrostic Haiku – Son
Sunshine and joy
One awesome, fabulous love
Nothing can compare
+
I’ve never tried my hand at Acrostic Poetry before, but this one kind of came to me earlier in the day. I am also not sure Haiku Poetry is usually used for Acrostic.
Anyway, anyone who does Acrostic Poetry, can you tell me what you think of this one or if you don’t, thoughts and what not about it are always appreciated?

Haiku – Washed In
Just back from the beach
Happy times and lots of fun
With my family
+
In case you guys were wondering where I’ve been. I took a much-needed trip down to the coast to spend some time with my family. My wife and I agreed to leave all electronics behind (except for my Kindle of course), and just get back to family time. My mom and dad along with my son also went with us. Nothing greater than seeing your 2-year-old collecting shells, and loving the beach.
I also want to remind all of you that a lot of my stories are running free today – I’ve mentioned in a recent post that my Zombie stuff is free (yeah, Walking Dead is back), but this story is also running free. Take a ride if you dare with these two short horror stories. Vroom! Vroom! Doom! Doom!

From a busy day

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.

A soft gentle ease

Happy bonding time

Haiku – Day out with my Son
Horde:
A tossing of bread
Swarmed and surrounded quickly
Ducks and geese go wild
Sanctuary:
Shadowy and cool
Oasis from the hot sun
Escaping the heat
Water Line:
Son in his stroller
Tossing food into the lake
Ducks fight and scramble
-
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 “Out with my Son in the Sun” Run
A warm sunny day
Birds, rabbits, Mother Nature
My boy amazed

Nice to get out with my son today. 40 Minute walk/run really helped to get the day started.
Any runners out there who have pushed a jogging stroller? Tough isn’t it.

Poem – Fuzzy Bodyguard

Haiku – Fun Run with My Son
Quick run yesterday
My boy holding on tight
Father and son time
•
I never thought I’d be a jogging stroller guy, thought I would want my running to be something I could do for myself. A little stress relief. What I have found is that I do still enjoy running by myself, but I also enjoy days like Saturday. Pushing my son along in the jogging stroller, me getting in some good exercise, and my boy playing with rocks, pine straw, and acorns while he rides. It really is a lot of fun to do even if the stroller takes some getting use to.
