Haiku – Tree
For a hot day:
Please, take a shade break
Underneath my big green leaves
Escape from the sun
≈
For the apple tree:
I’ll hold your apples
Until my limbs get too tired –
and uninspired
≈
For the tree entering winter:
My leaves have fallen –
and my limbs are bare again
I can’t wait for spring

Poem – Morning Routine
. . . Baby wakes
My heavy eye lids,
pushed open with the sound
Trudge down the stairs
Dry thirst in my throat,
from the long night’s sleep
Wife wakes,
stumbles like a zombie out of bed,
follows my created footsteps,
to the nursery
Baby’s eyes meet the day
Feeding
Burping
Feeding
Burping
Feeding
Burping
Diaper change
Feeding
Burping

Burping
Feeding
Burping
Stomach full
Time for play
Time for sleep
and
peaceful dreams
until
Baby wakes . . .

Poem – Fragile Rotation
Fragile
We are all
Like glass
Easily shattered
Life
Tumbles
Day in – Day out
We evolve
Revolve
Like the spinning door
Around and around we go
Our feet upon this Earth
Who knows?
How long?
We have
Is there life beyond?
A heaven
A hell
Who knows?
Like glass
We are all
Fragile

Haiku – The Candy Tree
Green leaves, lime flavored
With a bark of candy cane
and roots of sugar
My latest crazy idea – Haiku for kids.
The question is, does it work? Interested in hearing your thoughts on it. Of course if it was in a book it would have an illustration to go along with it – so you have to kind of imagine it like that.

Haiku – Silence
Can we hold our tongue,
and let the silent voice scream?
With the Earth dying

Election is done
Silence had power in the –
voting booth this week

Poem – The Bubble Gum Tree
A new journey has begun in my poetry writing. I plan to start writing poems for kids and poems that parents can read to their kids. I hope to maybe get enough of them together to make a book someday with plenty of picture drawings to go along with them.
Let me know what you think.
Come and take a walk,
take a walk with me,
and we will go to find,
the Bubble Gum Tree.
🙂
There we will sit,
hours on end.
Just you and me,
my little friend.
🙂
We will look at the colors,
all around,
and munch on the pieces,
that have fallen on the ground.
🙂
We will,
laugh and play,
blowing bubbles,
all the day.
🙂
Then when the evening sets,
and the day is done.
Home we will go,
with the setting sun.
🙂
But do not fret,
another day we’ll see,
when you and I will sit,
under the Bubble Gum Tree.

Haiku – Carolina Day 2
Sun filled, light blue sky
Casual white clouds drifting
Lazy hammock day
Carolina Day 1
Blue skies and no clouds
A warm, bright, and beautiful
Carolina day

Haiku – Today’s Run (11/06/2012)
Cold November day
Two and a half miles with ease
Fall leaves underfoot
🙂
Leaves crackle and pop
Fighting off a strong stiff breeze
Dressed in winter clothes
It just feels good to get back out there.
I had to write something about it.

Haiku – Today’s Run (11/03/2012)
Cool fall afternoon
2 miles, dusting off the rust
My legs need some work
I managed to lace up the shoes today and get out the door for some fresh air and a solid run. It wasn’t very long, but my legs really aren’t in the shape I need them to be in right now.
Anybody running and enjoying this cool weather? Anybody walking and enjoying this cool weather? Anybody just enjoying this cool weather? Leave me your answer in the comment section below.

Poem – The Night Before Halloween
Tomorrow is on its way,
that special time of year.
I can’t believe,
it’s almost here.
Time for:
Ghosts,
Zombies,
Vampires,
Werewolves,
and other things,
that go bump in the night.
But never fear,
Halloween will come,
Halloween will pass,
just try not to have,
a fright attack.

Haiku – Halloween Rising 3
Time for trick or treats
With kids ringing loud door bells
For candy and sweets
Part 1
Pumpkins, ghosts, and scares
Halloween crawling closer
The best time of year
Part 2
Almost Halloween
The days are growing closer
Beware the graveyards

Haiku – Today’s Run (10/25/2012)
Lacing up the shoes
This crisp and cool fall morning
For a run today
It felt good to get in some miles this morning – love running this time of year.
Anybody else love to run in the fall with the leaves crunching under your feet? If not running, do you just love being outside in the nice weather?

Haiku – Fall 3
Spring’s green – Summer’s warmth
Turns to multicolored leaves
In Fall’s fading light
Fall 1
The air of Autumn
Colors leaves of dying green
Gold, orange, and red
Fall 2
Crisp, cool morning air
Nipping at your finger tips
Frost will be here soon

Haiku – Conscious
Serious
♣
Conscious or dreaming
Lost somewhere among the mind
Visions haunted him
♣
Humor
🙂
He was conscious of –
what his actions meant, but he –
had to let one rip
🙂
