Misty drizzly day
Grey and fog-like atmosphere
Day starts out with gloom

Jimmy Buffett plays
Like a wave, the music flows
A soft gentle ease

Off to music class
My son and I together
Happy bonding time

Haiku – Morning Thoughts
Clear and bright sunrise
Blue tint on the horizon
Night gives way to dawn

A bird hops and skips
Moving through the dew filled grass
Looking for a worm

Haiku – Mr. Skeleton and Green Tears
Mr. Skeleton:
White flesh free fingers
Tearing through the soft brown dirt
Time for its revenge
Green Tears:
Mother Nature’s Bones
Exposed, beaten, and broken
by man’s pollution

Poem – An August Pause
Silent house, the world asleep
Chilly breeze through the open window
Trees limbs rustle, green leaves rattle
I journey back from vacation today
Back to the heat, humidity, summertime
But for a week I was here
Enjoying the cooling kiss of the mountaintop
+
I’m kind of an old dude, so this song has been running through my head for the last couple of days. It just pops in there when I look out at the hills in the distance.

Haiku – Webbed Feet
Duck paddles and swims
Cuts sharp through the lily pads
Searching for some food

Haiku – Mother Nature’s Wake Up Call
Sleepy morning eyes
Catch the rays of the warm sun
Daytime is alive

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

Haiku – Early August Blue 2
My eyes wake to gloom
Damp green leaves out my window
Showers in the night

Haiku – The “Pink Sky” Run
Rosy red sunset
Clouds awash in bright color
Beautiful day’s end
+
Really strange run tonight. I walked my normal half mile, and then I started to run. I thought I was never going to make it to the first mile. When I reached that mile, I stopped and walked for another half mile. Then I started up again, and folks, let me tell you. It felt wonderful to be running. Two miles in, and I had to force myself to stop. I just didn’t want to over do it. I walked another half mile, ran another half, and then came on home. Strange how it works out like that. Any runners out there who have gone through this before? Just curious.

Grey clouds hanging low
Rain drops pooling on the deck
Creating small lakes

Haiku – Eagle
Soaring high above
On wings of mighty freedom
In the cloudless sky

Haiku – Yard Work
Wild vicious creature
Insatiable appetite
All you do is grow
+
What is it about yards? They just always have something that has to be done, especially in the summer.
So, here’s the loaded question, do you like yard work or not?
Me, I can’t stand it, but I do enough to keep the neighbors from hating me.

Haiku – Monday Soaker
Blue flash of bright light
A jagged lightning cracked strike
Thunder booms outside
