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 –

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 – Carolina Day
Blue skies and no clouds

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

Haiku – Morning Run
Cool run this morning
I had to wear the long sleeves,
and some running gloves

Haiku – Crying
My son’s endless cries
Hard tears on a father’s soul
Purest pain on Earth
I had debated about posting this one after I wrote it a few days ago, but it seems to fit the moment my wife and I are in right now. We are trying to let our son sleep until he falls asleep so we can get him on a better schedule. He seems to be getting better, but this is one of those tough times in his life and mine.

With beams of candy yellow
Fills the sky of blue

Sipping on my coffee cup
A perfect morning

Haiku – Shroud
A thick graveyard’s shroud
Hangs over the world today
As peace is ravaged
••
A tall wooden mast
Supported by stays and shrouds
Help sails hold the wind
••
Ectoplasm trail
A lingering ghostly shroud
Cold spots in the room
••
