Haiku – Mom – The True Rock Star
Robbed these two from myself. Not a lot of time to write something for mom this year, but I didn’t want to let the day go by without giving all moms a nod. I’m a stay at home dad and I see first hand how awesome moms are. They are true rock stars. Happy Mother’s Day to all moms out there.

Love, safety, comfort
In the caring arms of mom
All you ever need

How to describe a mom,
well,
it may be too hard to do,
without leaving out,
too many things,
that are true.
For a mom is a blessing,
a true gift from God,
her patience and virtue,
is something,
you could never prod?

Haiku – 3 Looks at Pin
This was the first Haiku I wrote for the challenge this week. I just couldn’t wrap my head around what to write for the word “pin.” It was getting frustrating. Below are the three lines I came up with.
I can’t pin it down
Can’t think of a good Haiku
Too tough this Monday
Then these two popped into my mind.
I think they sound decent enough.
Pinned under a car
Spider-Man swings into help
There to save the day
+
Hair pinned up and neat
Ready for the junior prom
Waiting for her date
+
Anyway, do you want to take the challenge this week?

Fear Filled Fridays (4/6/2018): Her Head
A quick one night stand
Dusting off the marriage rust
Lust and ecstasy

Back to the routine
A normal day to day life
One night stand erased

Two quick weeks later
Man finds a bloody bundle
Laying on his desk

Haiku – Jester
Fearing for his life
The fool entertained the king
Hoping for laughter
+
King sat silently
No smile upon his harsh face
The fool was sentenced
+
Off to the dungeon
The fool protested loudly
Drug away screaming
+
The fool smiled through pain
Lying in his harsh cold cell
Visitor approached
+
Unlocking the cage
The queen helped the fool escape
Lovers embracing

Fear Filled Fridays (3/30/2018): Golden Orb
Moonlight casting rays,
buttery light fills the ground,
the night is alive,
with nocturnal sound.
What hides inside the shadows?
Creeps among the black,
using this golden light,
only for attack.
Is it a Werewolf?
Transformed by the moon,
or some other creature,
awoken to soon.

Haiku – Sleeping Evil
A simple pay day
One job – lots and lots of cash
Two very rich men

An abandoned house
Nestled in a dark forest
Ancient and empty

A break of the lock
Time for their quick easy score
Something hidden stirs

Fear Filled Fridays (3/23/2018): Ghost Hunter and the EVP
I hear dead people,
talking through machines.
I hear dead people,
talking crisp and clean.
