Hot afternoon sun
Day consumed by summer heat
Shade offers relief

Feels like a day for this song.

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 – Hot for Teacher
He watches her teach
With youthful innocent eyes
Day dream during class

When I saw the prompt for the day the song “Hot for Teacher” by Van Halen popped into my mind. I tried to keep the Haiku classy, but still give off that “Hot for Teacher” vibe. Anyway, just wanted to let you guys know where the inspiration for this one came from.
