Haiku – Hello, Morning
Strawberry-blue sky
Sunrise mixed, tangled, twisted
In clouds of bright white
-
Haiku – Time for Buds
Bare naked tree limbs
Out-stretched arms reaching upwards
To the spring sunshine
-
Haiku – Warmer Days
Take refuge winter
Find a good safe hiding spot
Spring is back again

Haiku – Grounded Birds
A bunch of robins
Sitting and waiting on spring
In a field of grass
+
I don’t know why, but a day or so ago I came upon this open grassy area and turned to look at it. I honestly think there were about twenty robins just sitting there for no reason. They were turned in all directions as if waiting for something – not sure I have seen anything like it before. I guess maybe they thought, “if we congregate and concentrate together, spring will get here soon.” I hope it works, fingers crossed.

Haiku – Heaven’s Message
From father to son
A gift of eternal life
If we just believe

Haiku – Hibernating Warm
Snow filled summer seats
Frozen white powdered landscape
Trees hanging heavy
-
Haiku – Snow Bound
Precipitation
Drapes the world in endless white
Fat flakes falling soft
+
Another Tuesday, another round of winter weather, this time snow instead of sleet and ice. They are saying we are due for another storm on Wednesday Night/Thursday Morning. Warm all winter in N. Carolina, and in 2 weeks possibly three winter storms, 2 down maybe 1 more to go. As I type this I can see snow falling from a storm that wasn’t predicted to hit like this. Supposed to be in the sixties next week. Crazy.

Haiku – The Quiet Dark
Sitting in the black
Somber tones of reflection
Night’s golden silence

Haiku – 6 Degrees and A Negative Wind Chill
Thermometer quit
Packed up its bags and moved south
Be back next summer
+
Record cold high yesterday, record low last night, record cold high today – I think it might be time to find a tropical port somewhere warm and sandy. How about you? Are you ready for spring? Just give me a like if you are.

Haiku – Winter’s Bite
Slip-sliding today
Frozen ground drenched in bright white
Teeth chattering cold
+
Thought we might need this today.
-
Haiku – Romance Kindling
The flames of first love
A spark ignites the fire
Love keeps it burning

Haiku – Dreams
Refuse to give in
Hold tight to your desires
They always come true
+
Dreams do usually come true, but maybe not in the way you expect them to. I thought my dreams were one thing when I was a young man, now, I realize I hadn’t even begun to dream about the things I truly wanted way back then. Family, faith, home, love, those are the dreams I didn’t even know I was dreaming until they happened.
I was inspired to write this Haiku by this blog post this morning:
