Eyeballs staring at the screen

Haiku – Christian
A journey of faith
Cleansed with baptismal waters
Putrid sins washed free
I have enjoyed getting a prompt a week from Haiku Heights so I thought I would try one myself. If anyone so desires you can write a Haiku based off of the word Christian and what that word means to you. Just leave it in the comments section below. Thanks for reading. Thanks for following.

Haiku – Rescue
Please turn on the heat
I need a break from the cold
Summer rescue me
I know we don’t have it as bad down here in North Carolina as some others, but this deep freeze is tough on us. We got hit with a combo yesterday, snow, sleet, and freezing rain. The world looks like the top of a glazed doughnut outside – mmmm doughnuts – and it may not thaw much until tomorrow. So how do you deal with the cold? What gets you through it?

Poem – Life
Life, ebbs and flows
Like a river or a stream
Day in – Day out
We live, We dream
It all seems so large
So grand
Day to day
Hand to hand
One day single
Desperate, alone
Without love
Unknown
Then married
To a wife
Life is free
Without strife
Then a son arrives
Like magic he is here
So close
So near
Yes, like a journey
Life ebbs and flows
Day in – Day out
Where it ends no one knows

Haiku – Cold as H E Double Hockey Sticks
A brisk cold morning
My aching bones snap and pop
Sounds like bubble wrap
It’s cold out there y’all. So please take a moment and warm your bones by the video below. Stay warm.

Haiku – Stryper
God’s word through music
The yellow and black attack
Christian metal band
Without a doubt, Stryper is one of the top Christian rock bands of all-time, and certainly the most celebrated Christian metal band of all time. Comprised of Michael Sweet (vocals/guitar), Oz Fox (guitar), Tim Gaines (bass), and Robert Sweet (drums), Stryper has been rocking since 1983, and is responsible for such ’80s metal classic albums as ‘Soldiers Under Command,’ ‘To Hell with the Devil,’ In God We Trust,’ and such MTV hit singles/videos as “Calling on You,” “Free,” and “Honestly.” After a sabbatical for much of the 1990’s, Stryper returned strong in the early 21st century. But it was not until their 2011 covers set, ‘The Covering,’ that the aforementioned definitive Stryper was reinstated, as the band welcomed Gaines back into the fold.

Haiku – A Slap of Caffeine
Coffee, cruel master
Taking your time, brewing slow
Eye lids start to close

Haiku – Hot Legs and Sharp Boots
A pair of smooth legs,
jutting from a denim skirt,
boots up to the knees

Poem – Caffeine with Sugar and Cream
I see you sitting there,
brewing, stewing, hot.
Acting like you’re something,
something in that pot.
♠
You are a constant,
an always endless need.
A sudden caffeine warning,
whose advice you better heed.
♣
One cup, two cups
three cups, four.
Lusting, lusting,
always needing more.
♦
An addiction,
passing through my veins.
Driving me along,
holding all the reigns.

Cool clouds hanging low
Sunlight trapped behind the grey
Four miles, legs felt great

Haiku – Today’s Run – (1/03/2013)
Cold gray gloomy day
Two point five miles – led like legs
Rattle, clang, and clink
This kind of sums me up.

To all of you who read my,
haiku/poem blog.
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 5,300 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 9 years to get that many views.
