Some perceive the hand
Of God when fates conspire,
Finding peace therein;
Others scream defiantly
In the teeth of raging winds.
Month: August 2016
Back To School Special
Oh, joyous morning
Punctuated by the grump
Sleep deprived adolescent
Haiku 29 Aug 2016
Adrift sans water
Trailing tendrils ‘cross the sky
Clouds like Jellyfish
Cryptic Sky Cyphers
Do these salmon skies
Offer some dire portent
Or the faintest blush of hope
Paradoxic Crux
Caught between the rocks
Of grieving over treasures
Lost yet also reveling
In pleasure over finding
Public Wayside Table
Carcass not yet dead
And still they gather waiting
Congress of vultures
Where the Heart is?
Sucks that nine to five
Has become our time at home
And much of that we’re sleeping!
Senryu 22 Aug 2016
Borne for unknown shores
At mercy of wind and wave
We hapless flotsam
Shock and Awe
From ragged verdant verge
Eruptes a freckled fawn
Frightened into flight
Not long after dawn
By the sudden sight
On the lower lawn
Of, clad in crimson bright,
clumsy human spawn,
Who, in turn, was shocked
By the sudden charge
Of that tiny fawn
That seemed so very large.
Peace replaced by peril in a single instant,
A unity of terror in the minds of infants.
Haiku 19 Aug 2016
Misty tendrils flow
Like sea waves breaking over
Verdant hills and vales
Katauta 18 Aug 2016
If your garden fails
to flourish, you must amend
the soil, not the flowers.
Haiku 17Aug 2016
Like Phoenix rising
from ashes and destruction,
new life emerges.
Katauta 16 Aug 2016
Further harmony:
Deny not the evil, yet
Focus, rather, on the good.
Haiku 16 Aug 2016
Eighty five degrees,
Eight a.m., dry bugs screeching,
August in Dixie.
