A simple haiku
Poetry with rhythmic lines
Simple and complete

I will be honest. I took a small break on this blog and I am having trouble getting the muse to fire back up again. That’s why I wrote a haiku about a haiku. Trying to generate anything to get me haikuing (is that a word) again. Thanks for following and have a great day, afternoon, or night – depending on when or where you are currently reading this.
Finally made it
Back to the crashing of waves
Toes in the white sand
🌴
A door clicks open
Unpleasant smell of decay
Takes over the room
+
Soft shuffling of feet
It enters the tiny house
Looking for a feast
+
Terror fills his soul
Running for a quick exit
The back door is blocked
+
There is no way out
Man grabs a long kitchen knife
Time to go to war

I know I haven’t been posting much as of late, honestly having been doing a lot of creative stuff lately. Kids are out of school, schedule is tighter, free time is tighter as well, and most days I’d rather relax than post in a blog. Just wanted to put that out there in case you are wondering where I have dissappeared to. And next week I finally getting to have a vacation of sorts, going to visit family. This will be the first trip me and my family have taken since Christmas of 2019. Crazy. That’s it and below you will find a picture I was going to write a Haiku about for this post. Decided to write a horror tale instead, but I thought I would leave the picture. I like the way it turned out.

A single flower
Among a fortress of green
Standing all alone

Sleeping kitty cat
Peaceful dreams of sunny days
Running wild and free

Got a new phone this weekend and was trying out some camera tricks. Surprised how well I got this one to turn out. Amazing what kind of pictures a phone can take.

Heavy rain showers
Pounding out across the ground
Loudly deafening
A bright afternoon
Day filled with warm summer sun
Thick humidity
Lifting up the cup
Realizing the horror
Coffee is finished

Does anybody else get annoyed when they reach for their coffee cup and when you lift it to your lips, ready for a delicious sip of warm caffeine, you find out that it is empty and you don’t remember finishing it. Drives me nuts. And below is a great show on Netflix all about cars and coffee. Highly recommend it.
The smell of coffee
Infiltrates the morrning air
Permeates the house
Empty coffee mug
Morning’s caffeine revival
Coursing through my veins
The coo of a dove
Morning lights up with your song
Peaceful and serene
Frogs in unison
Singing a nighttime chorus
Under a full moon
Train whistle blasting
Across the tranquil morning
Echoing loudly
A baby blue jay
Stopping by to say hello
On a sunny day

At the crack of dawn
Birds singing in unison
Fills up the silence
A puddle of sun
Drenched in the warmth of sunshine
Pure relaxation
Bright honeysuckle
Growing wild, untamed, and free
Mother Nature’s treat

Flowers of yellow
Sunshine under cloudy skies
Brighten up the day

Shimmering blackbird
Soaring in the bright blue sky
A perfect contrast
