Haiku – Fear of the Scarecrow
In a field you hang
Upon this wood post you wait
For the night’s darkness

Haiku – Fiji
Palm trees line the shore
Warm air and sand fill your soul
Positive beach vibes
+
I was watching an Island Hunter’s show on HGTV and they went to Fiji. Such a beautiful place that it inspired this Haiku. I’ve never been, but if you have I would love to hear your thoughts on what it was like to visit there.

An artist’s brush strokes
Upon a blank white canvas

Haiku – Go For It All
Let your passion lead
Good things and positive vibes
Will surely follow

I was stumped with the prompt from Haiku Horizons this week, which was lead. I thought about a Haiku for it, but nothing came to mind until I sent out a tweet about Jason Day. In case you don’t know who he is. He is the latest Major winner on the PGA circuit. Not only did he get his first win yesterday (Sunday), but he also broke a record by going 20 under par. If you don’t know his incredible journey just follow the link below this article. It will inspire you.
When Jason Day fell flat on his back at the US Open in June, his head swimming with debilitating vertigo, the first person to help him to his feet was the most important man in his life.
Colin Swatton is much more than just a caddie to the Australian star who broke his major duck with victory at the US PGA Championship at Whistling Straits on Sunday.
Swatton’s support helped his ailing boss complete the US Open at Chambers Bay. Within two months Day fulfilled his golfing potential in brilliant style with a record-breaking major championship score of 20 under par.
To have risen from such a stricken position to the top of the golfing world, reflects the journey Day has taken in life with Swatton as mentor, coach and caddie.
It is little wonder that Day tearfully embraced Swatton immediately after tapping in the putt that gave him a three-shot victory over new world number one Jordan Spieth.

Haiku – Too Much Stuff
Small simple humans
We complicate our frail life
With mind distractions

A thick cloudy start
Sunlight cracks the veil of grey
Draped across the sky
