A golden morning
Warriors ride out to battle
The dragons await

I was inspired to write this Haiku because of this song.
I’ve been singing it all morning.
Enjoy.

Haiku – 3 Looks at Shade
Behind the black shades
Killer watches his victim
Waiting for his time
+
Down a long alley
She stumbles through the dark shade
Something follows her
+
A silver knife gleams
Precious flesh is slashed and stabbed
Death falls like a shade

Haiku – Sunny Getaway
A white sandy beach
Palm tree providing cool shade
Water lapping smooth

Haiku – 3 Looks at Wall
Behind the white wall
Rips, tears, multiple scratches
The rats had found them
+
Hiding in the wall
Worried that they might be found
Nazis on the hunt
+
She fought against love
Putting up walls around her
Protecting her heart

I’ve just been singing it since I read the prompt word for the week.

Haiku – 3 Looks at Mirror
Lake’s mirrored surface
Disturbed by a thirsty bear
Looking for a drink
+
Glass mirror reveals
A hard life the man has lived
The scars of his age
+
Mirror’s reflection
Revealed the long dark hallway
Something standing near

Haiku – Iron Will
Hate now in power
Guilty before innocent
Freedom sacrificed
+
I heard this great song yesterday and it made me think about the way America is currently doing business at home and abroad. I thought I might write a Haiku based off of it. I think, no matter how you voted, it is time to stop the hate and learn to find a great middle ground. We can’t make “America Great Again” if we don’t work together to do it. I am a Democrat, and I will admit that. But they need to shut up and work with Trump. Trump also needs to put on his big boy pants and start learning to compromise. We can’t put in bans like we currently have without stirring up a whole lot of trouble. I agree we have been lax in some areas of this country throughout the years, but bans don’t work. They don’t keep out the bad they just incite more anger, and those we are trying to stop just add fuel to their fire. There has to be a better way to handle our politics than what we have now.
If you decide to leave a comment. Make it productive. I don’t mind a solid discussion, but let’s not get down to childish name calling.
Okay, have a great weekend. Here’s the song.
LYRICS
If I could kill a word and watch it die
I’d poison never, shoot goodbye
Beat regret when I felt I had the nerve
Yeah, I’d pound fear to a pile of sand
Choke lonely out with my bare hands
I’d hang hate so that it can’t be heard
If I could only kill a wordI’d take brokenness out back
And break heartbreak, stand there and laugh
Right in its face while shootin’ it the bird
I’d put upset down in its place
I’d squeeze the life out of disgrace
Lay over under six cold feet of dirt
If I could only kill a wordGive me sticks, give stones
Bend my body, break my bones
Use staff and rod to turn me black and blue
‘Cause you can’t unhear, you can’t unsay
But if were up to me to change
I’d turn lies and hate to love and truth
If I could only kill a wordI’d knock out temptation’s teeth
I’d sever evil, let it bleed
Then light up wicked, stand and watch it burn
I’d take vice and I’d take vile
And tie ’em up there with hostile
Hang ’em high and leave ’em for the birds
If I could only kill a wordSo give me sticks, give stones
Bend my body, break my bones
Use staff and rod to turn me black and blue
‘Cause you can’t unhear, you can’t unsay
But if were up to me to change
I’d turn lies and hate to love and truth
If I could only kill a word
If I could only kill a wordSource: Google Search

Haiku – H. M.
A furious storm
Wind whipped into a frenzy
Rain soaking the ground
+
I don’t know how you guys fared during Hurricane Matthew (those effected by it who read this blog), but we got a lot of wind and rain in Raleigh. Nothing like the coastal areas, but still it was scary at times watching the wind bend the trees and the water wash out the roads. Glad it is now passing.

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.
