Shallow pond rippling
Insignificant small waves
Washing on the shore
In the black of night
Room plunged into thick darkness
Footsteps walking slow
+
Alone in the house
Stirring from a deep slumber
Listening for more
+
Hush of silence falls
Starting to relax a bit
Cold invades the room
+
Something striding fast
Moving towards the soft couch
Contact imminent

Been listening to a couple of Podcasts that have my brain exploring the supernatural and the unknown – helped to inspire this post. Plus, I just finished a great book by Ryan Sprague called Somewhere in the Skies. I highly recommend it. The stories about aliens and abductions and conspiracies will keep you up at night. You can get the book here: Somewhere in the Skies and you can find the Somewhere in the Skies Podcast wherever you get your Podcasts from. And if you want some great ghost stories check out the Podcast called Jim Harold’s Campfire. Great spooky stories. I think Jim also has books but I haven’t read any of them. That’s it. Thanks for reading and enjoying the blog. Have a good one.
Tinkling of coffee
Gurgling softly as it drips
Filling up the pot

The sound of coffee being made has to be one of the greatest noises on this Earth. Guess maybe I am a bit addicted. Love that sound early in the morning.
Day filled with sunshine
Nature covered in brightness
Silently happy

Crawling from the murk
Monster oozing with evil
Eyes glowing dark red
A simple haiku
Poetry with rhythmic lines
Simple and complete

I will be honest. I took a small break on this blog and I am having trouble getting the muse to fire back up again. That’s why I wrote a haiku about a haiku. Trying to generate anything to get me haikuing (is that a word) again. Thanks for following and have a great day, afternoon, or night – depending on when or where you are currently reading this.
A door clicks open
Unpleasant smell of decay
Takes over the room
+
Soft shuffling of feet
It enters the tiny house
Looking for a feast
+
Terror fills his soul
Running for a quick exit
The back door is blocked
+
There is no way out
Man grabs a long kitchen knife
Time to go to war

I know I haven’t been posting much as of late, honestly having been doing a lot of creative stuff lately. Kids are out of school, schedule is tighter, free time is tighter as well, and most days I’d rather relax than post in a blog. Just wanted to put that out there in case you are wondering where I have dissappeared to. And next week I finally getting to have a vacation of sorts, going to visit family. This will be the first trip me and my family have taken since Christmas of 2019. Crazy. That’s it and below you will find a picture I was going to write a Haiku about for this post. Decided to write a horror tale instead, but I thought I would leave the picture. I like the way it turned out.

Sleeping kitty cat
Peaceful dreams of sunny days
Running wild and free

Got a new phone this weekend and was trying out some camera tricks. Surprised how well I got this one to turn out. Amazing what kind of pictures a phone can take.
