Racing through my soul
Possessing my brain – body
Taking me over

I don’t know about you, but when I write or re-write it just consumes me. I have woken up the last two days feeling like I’m coming out of a deep dormant sleep. Coincidentally, I put the finishing touches on my re-write yesterday morning. It’s like my body knows when to push me and when not to push me. That’s what inspired this Haiku.
Anybody else feel that way when they go on a creative binge?
Hellish summer night
Dampness holds me with moist arms
Soup like pre-storm air

Have to dedicate this one to Jimmy Buffett – his music got me through it tonight.

Feeding the ducks
Down by the lake
Cool breeze in the shade
Summer heat starting to bake

My son and I
Enjoying the day
Snack time
A good place to stay
Hot swamp like dense air
Heat of summer all around
Muggy, moist, and thick
Hot as an oven
Turned up to extreme high heat
Summer here again

After a few days of no humidity and cooler temperatures, well, old man summer decided to come roaring back. Luckily, I had the shade of clouds in my favor today, but it was still muggy and grueling to walk/run. I was listening to Tesla again. I know, who? That Eighties band. The same one – still digging on them to this day, anyway, the song below pushed me on when I needed it at the end. Going to dedicate this run to it. Hope everyone stays cool.
Christmas in July?
Soft breeze, a nip in the air
Nice break from summer

I can’t believe how nice it has been outside today. The weather is still warm, but the humidity has gone away. Couldn’t believe it when my son and I sat out on the deck this morning – he in his high chair, me just enjoying it. It made me think about the upcoming holiday season, which I hope to jump-start next week. My short story “A Zombie Christmas” will be running free for the next couple of Fridays on Kindle. Grab a copy to put you in the holiday mood. I also plan to have that story available elsewhere later on in the year. Okay, here’s a little Christmas music to set the mood. I hope you all had a great Fourth of July – thanks for reading and following.

99 cents regular price – free the next two Fridays.
Review:
“Not often do you run across a zombie story with a message. Don’t give up hope. A lesson to be learned & applied in any circumstances. Well written & entertaining.”

Happy fourth of July everyone! Thanks for reading, thanks for following.
Dark and overcast
Soft cool rain killing the heat
Healing a parched land

Nice walk, run today. Can’t believe it is July 1st and I can head out for exercise this late in the morning. Weird weather this summer, but I will take it. Okay, who’s looking forward to the fourth?
My eyes meet the day
Stiff and sore from last night’s run
Body aches with each step I take
Staring at the morning sun

We push ourselves
Everything that we do
Day to day life
Turning the screw

I honestly have no idea what to name this one, so I was wondering if you could help. Just drop me your title in the comment section and include a link to your blog. That way I can find a way to pay you back for helping me out.
Fire like summer heat
Humid and hot sticky air
A tough one tonight

Hard running in late June. I wanted to dedicate this song to anyone out there running in the heat. I know it isn’t running based, but the title really does fit the way I am feeling right now. Never get tired of Dokken.
