Crisp, cool morning air
Nipping at your finger tips
Frost will be here soon
Fall 1
The air of Autumn
Colors leaves of dying green
Gold, orange, and red

Haiku – Son
One week strong today
Changing every hour
At the speed of light

Haiku – A Good Cup of Coffee 4
Mister Master Brew
You’re the caffeinated king
Morning starts with you
Part 1
Caffeinated dreams
Bring on the master liquid
My mind needs a boost
Part 2
Liquid energy
Red blood racing through my veins
Strong like rocket fuel
Part 3
Warm master liquid
Let me worship at your cup
Brew faster for me

Haiku – Sleep Island
Where ‘s the place you sleep?
Between the baby’s feedings
Quite, warm – Sleep Island
I’ve started to notice that in between the baby feeding that there are these little magical pockets of time. This is the time when he sleeps, usually an hour or three. I have been calling these little pockets of time sleep islands.

Haiku – Daylight
Sunshine permeates
Casting rays like God’s own hand
Nurturing the land

Haiku – Sky Fire 2
Sunlight fading fast
Leaving embers in the sky
Day takes one last breath
Sky Fire 1
Grey storm clouds parting
Turning the sky into fire
Day ends in a blaze

Haiku – The Scuba Diver
In the cold dark deep
Below the cobalt blue sea
Like a fish he breathes

Haiku – 8:11 A.M.
Welcome to the world
My precious little baby
10 pounds 8 ounces
My son was born at 8:11 A.M. this morning.
As you can see he was a big boy.

Haiku – Going for 8
Today it was eight –
long and challenging hard miles
Splashing in the rain
Another Sunday and another run I didn’t think I had in me.
I have run 8 miles only three times counting today. I usually don’t like to go that far. I just felt like with the busy weeks ahead that this might be my only shot for a while. Surprising enough, it was rather easy, though I did have to run through one of the heaviest rain showers I have ever run in. I was soaked when I got home.

Haiku – Night Stalking
Day dissappearing
Fading into nighttime’s grasp
Darkness spreading fast

Haiku – Fall
The air of Autumn
Colors leaves of dying green
Gold, orange, and red

Haiku – After the Concert
My ears are ringing
Sounds like a constant buzzing
Did you say something?

Poem – 2 in the morning.
It’s late.
Oh great!
Why am I up at this hour?
Do I not have the power?
To sleep
or
keep
the thoughts from my head.
So many things to think about,
as the day draws near.
I wonder.
I fear.
Father to be.
Yes, that’s me.
My son should be here soon.
How will my days be?
or
My nights like these?
I guess you can tell.
Random thoughts are rattling my head.
I will shut it down now,
though sleep seems so far away.

Haiku – Imagination Waking
Ideas stirring
Forming in the grey matter
Words become stories

Haiku – Going for 7
Running my butt off –
going for seven long miles.
Know what? I did it.
I haven’t done this distance since early May of this year.
Just happy to get back to it.
This Haiku was running through my head for most of it.
I love this cooler weather.

Haiku – Thunder Rolling
Electric lightning
Violent sounds rip the silence
Storm clouds approaching

Poem – White Sand
Life beside the ocean,
under golden sun drenched rays of red,
time is no longer the enemy,
when the tropics fill your head.
Among the white sand,
you will lose your self control,
don’t fight it,
just let it take your soul.

Haiku – Bleeding Morning
Sunlight kills the dark
As brightness opens my eyes
Night bleeds into day

Poem – Corona
Crack open your beer,
decorate it with lime.
Let the laid back mood take over,
for this is perfect time.
Cold and refreshing,
this beer in your hand.
Kicked back in the shade of a palm,
enjoying a Calypso Band.
The steel drums they echo,
they ring and they sing.
Losing just that little bit of edge,
life’s little sting.
