Yellow and brown leaves
River Birch changing early
Signs of things to come

Haiku – The Severed Hand
Crawling towards me
Dead rotten moldy fingers
Scratching up the floor
+
One of the best scenes in all of horror for severed hands. Watch and enjoy.

Haiku – The Here and Now
Morning has arrived
Can’t wake up, groggy and tired
A rough way to start
+
Sometimes a day at the beach is the only thing that will help. Too bad I don’t live near one. I can go there with this song though. I hope it takes you away as well.

Poem – At the Park
Ripples at the water line
Lake gently breaks on the shore
Brown sand at my feet
Soft warm Earthly floor

Haiku – The “Out with the Crickets” Run
Sunlight dropping quick
Daytime and nighttime converge
Sky explodes in red
+
Really starting to feel like fall and look like fall as well – getting dark a lot earlier these days. Tonight, I was heading back through the park and crickets were jumping out of my way. That’s where the title came from in case you were wondering. Okay, who’s ready for fall? I know I am.

3 Haiku
Misty drizzly day
Grey and fog-like atmosphere
Day starts out with gloom
+
Jimmy Buffett plays
Like a wave, the music flows
A soft gentle ease
+
Off to music class
My son and I together
Happy bonding time

Haiku – Stranded in the Rain
Long black empty road
Out of gas, alone, tired, cold
Branch snaps in the dark

Haiku – The “Feeling Like A Kid Again” Run
Splashing through showers
Cloud burst high up above me
Rain and sweat mingle
+
There is nothing more fun than running in the rain. About the only draw back I have to it, is that my clothes get heavy so I end up carrying extra weight. I was also watching for lightning and listening for thunder, but lucky for me I didn’t see or hear any. Good one tonight. How about you? Do you love running in the rain or walking in it or just being out in it (when there’s no major thunderstorm that is)?

Haiku – The “Half-Moon” Run
Darkness my cool friend
Black shadows growing thicker
Hide me from the heat
+
A hot one tonight, but a good run overall. I think the heat broke a bit before I left the house, which is always good. I hope everyone had a good and relaxing Labor Day.

Haiku – Creaky Floorboards
Darkness clear and black
Ghostly footsteps in the hall
Wide awake in bed

Haiku – The “After Hours” Run
Sunlight fading out
Takes a long and worthy bow
Night’s curtain descends
+
I honestly only got out to do my walk/run tonight for one reason – I wanted to listen to Van Halen. I have plenty of chances to listen to them throughout the day since I stay home with son, but it isn’t the same as when you listen to it on a run. When your legs are pumping, and the music is in your ears you feel like you are on your own personal island. It’s just you, the run, the music, and the world at large. It really helps to clear the head.
The song above has been running through my brain all day. I didn’t much like it when I was younger, when it was popular, but I enjoy it a lot more as an adult.
This song above has always been one of my favorites by them. Guess I tend to lean more to the Sammy years because I grew up listening to them with him when I was a teenager. Okay, that’s it. Sorry for the long post. Just felt like writing a bit tonight after a half-way decent walk/run.
How about you? Van Halen fan or not? Sammy or Dave, which one?

Haiku – Morning Thoughts
Clear and bright sunrise
Blue tint on the horizon
Night gives way to dawn
+
A bird hops and skips
Moving through the dew filled grass
Looking for a worm
-
Haiku – The “Painted Sky” Run
Pink sky, blueish clouds
Daylight fades into the night
Picturesque sunset
+
It was hard to get out the door tonight. I almost didn’t run, but I made myself get out and go. I am glad I did. I managed to get some good miles in.
This song came on my MP3 tonight and I thought it would be a good one to dedicate to all runners out there battling the summer heat.
Stab! Bawl! Punch! Crawl!
Hooks to my brain are well in
Stab! Bawl! Punch! Crawl!
I know what I am, I’m Berlin
