haiku 39

silver streams of thought

flow through the verdant contours

of a peaceful mind

right now

A shot out my back door right now.

Felt I had to share.

Mama and Bambi

So trusting.

six word stories — 5

I’m quitting drinking for good, again.

poor luna

luna lures in noble

golden-hearted sunbeams

with her ‘poor me’ act

and  pallid complexion

and if they so much as

graze her ashen cheek

with a solitary kiss

she steals their gold

and sends them away

on silver moonbeams

haiku 38

on calm summer nights

the sea of tranquility

lives up to its name

fears

our fears may rear up

at times in our lives and stop

us dead in our tracks

we must look them in the eye

and bravely step over them

summer is

summer is the time for

weddings and wildflowers

new pets and new friends

romance and heartbreak

 

summer is the sound of

screen doors slamming

crickets and fireworks

thunder and pelting hail

 

summer is full of mischief

and la joie de vivre

but first and foremost

summer is potato salad

much to learn

we left the trees

with so much to learn

a stick can be sharpened

and branches will burn

cows can be milked

their juices will churn

the Nile will flood

with the Dog Star’s return

and even today

there’s so much to learn

that we’re looking into

the matter at CERN
