The trees are crying
Leaves upon the dying ground
Tears for summer’s end

Haiku – The Red and Orange Run
Falls leaves chasing me
Quick feet, a cool autumn day
Clouds scattered above

Another good walk/run today and another continuous mile. Nice to be getting back to it. I hope all runners and walkers are able to enjoy this nice weather. Give me a like if you enjoy this time of year as much as me.

Haiku – The Abandoned Graveyard Redux
I had a couple of interesting comments about this particular Haiku that I wrote earlier in the week:
The cold grey headstones
Fresh light of dawn breaks on them
One grave is empty
When I wrote it my thinking was that a zombie had crawled up out of the Earth in order to do his zombie thing.
After I posted it I received this comment from: http://readinpleasure.wordpress.com/
The comment: I’m reading this as the empty tomb of Jesus. Anyhow, it is powerful
That’s an interesting take on it, so I thought I would write a new Haiku based off of that comment.
Buried for three days
The empty tomb of Jesus
Faith inspiration
See how the title “The Abandoned Graveyard” takes on a whole new meaning with that Haiku.
I then received this comment from: http://planetcyberluz.com/
This was the comment: Looks like the grave robbers have been
I also decided to write a Haiku based off of that one.
Grave robbers bitten
Torn open and ripped apart
Zombie plague begins
Again, the title “The Abandoned Graveyard” takes on a whole new meaning. It is a little closer to the zombie subject matter I was going for originally, but it is just slightly different.

Haiku – The “really, it is this cold already” Run
Bitter winter wind
Legs pushing me through the cold
First mile in a while
•
Finally got myself to a continuous mile today, couldn’t believe it. It has been so long since I did that, and it felt great. It was cold out there, colder than it needed to be. That is the one problem I have with North Carolina in the fall. One day, sunny and warm, the next day, cold with heavy winds. C’est la vie, right?

Thank you to this song for helping me push out a few extra steps, came on at just the right time.

Haiku – Cool Running
White-grey clouds above
Cool breeze, a slight chance of rain
Getting in some miles

I managed to get in a nice day time walk/run today, felt great. I am on my second pair of running headphones, which isn’t bad, since I bought the first pair over two and a half years ago. Anyway, one of the songs got me thinking of Halloween. I thought I would post it below.

Poem – Fall Cool Morning
Sunlight slanting
Its soft red rays
Like a blanket of warmth
Starting to heat the day

I stand at the window
Holding my son tight
Watching this new day dawn
With God’s golden light

Haiku – Fun Run with My Son
Quick run yesterday
My boy holding on tight
Father and son time
•
I never thought I’d be a jogging stroller guy, thought I would want my running to be something I could do for myself. A little stress relief. What I have found is that I do still enjoy running by myself, but I also enjoy days like Saturday. Pushing my son along in the jogging stroller, me getting in some good exercise, and my boy playing with rocks, pine straw, and acorns while he rides. It really is a lot of fun to do even if the stroller takes some getting use to.

Haiku – Running with The Man in the Moon
Full moon light hanging
Casting its soft yellow veil
Runner finds his stride

Poem – Mr. Jack
From midnight to midnight
On October 31st
He has a hunger
A blood lust
A thirst
For those who trick and treat
To him
That is the best
The tastiest of meat

One of my favorite Halloween songs, always gets me in the mood:

Haiku – Clouds
Lazily drifting
Soft white, silvery, and grey
Like an angel’s wings

Need to post something
Traffic crashing to a halt
While my brain slumbers

Haiku – Mid Day Warm Day Run
Cloudy soft white clouds
Hanging high over my head
Feet pounding the ground

I had a chance to get out and run during the day today. It was nice, a tad warm, but pleasant. Good way to close out the week.

Haiku – Sky Fire 7
A pewter grey sky
Mixed with mirror shards of red
Clouds filled with fire

Haiku – Cool Rainy Night Run
Fall leaves chasing me
Rain gently cooling my skin
Another wet run

A nasty night out there, rain, wind, cooler than average weather, hard getting back to it when the weather is like that.

Haiku – Grey Night Run
A misty drizzle
Rain drops, warm liquid relief
Getting back to it

I tell you what. If you take a break from running, it is tough starting up again. I tried a return a month or so ago and wound up hurting myself. I took another break and tonight I tried to take it easy. The body seems to be okay, but who knows, tomorrow morning will show me if I overdid it or not.
