The smell of brownies
Wafting all about the house
Stomach rumbling loud
Great anticipation
Rare total solar eclipse
Day becomes the night

Are you guys excited for the eclipse today – 8/21/2017? Me, I honestly keep forgetting about it. It is a pretty cool thing to witness, but I’m so busy with life it just slips my mind. I thought I might write this Haiku today in order to celebrate this monumental moment. Are any of you doing anything special for it? And I hate to do this, but I have to. This song must be played loudly today. I truly do apologize. I really do. I still remember when this video used to play on MTV and other channels back in the day. I am getting old.

Dropped across your naked flesh
Pleasures exploding

Caffeinated rocket blast
Helps to start the day

Taste of human flesh
Monster feeding greedily
Upon its victim

Playing as they wait

On the red stop sign
A colorful butterfly
Resting for a spell

Down an unused dead-end street
Sat the house of screams

Sunshine cracks the clouds
Spilling out its bright warm rays
Morning starts to shine
In the deep dark night
Standing in an open field
Staring at the stars

A loud and noisy blue jay
Calls out to the day

Underneath the tree
Sitting in its cool dark shade
A break from the sun

Hiding in the tree
Hoping that he is secure
Sheltered from the beast

Gone before you can see him

I’ve been given it some thought, and I think I’ve come up with my three favorite Superheroes.
Number 1: Batman
I guard the darkness
While the city sleeps below
Safely in slumber

Number 2: Spiderman
Up the wall he crawls
Moving with a spider’s ease
Slinging sticky webs

Number 3: The Flash
The CW has gotten me hooked on this character. I started Binge-Watching it this week, and I’m almost done with Season 1. To put that in perspective. I stay home with my two kids. I have about an hour each day and a few hours at night to watch this show. I managed to squeeze in 5 episodes yesterday. I couldn’t stop watching it and the only reason why I’m not watching it now is because my kids are about to get up. I honestly haven’t been hooked on a Superhero this fast or this quick since Batman. Amazing show. Don’t spoil it for me if you’ve seen it. I’m barely through Season 1, about at Episode 17. So, do you have a top three, five, eight, ten, etc. or do you have just one Superhero you champion?
