This one didn’t get published for some reason. I do love it, so am sharing it now.
Rain’s sound consumes me
Voices carried through the night
Soothing my soul

A Morning Meditation: Jealousy
Today’s Haiku:
Focus lost with ease
Jealousy’s dangerous voice
Broken clarity
It is an easy trap, losing myself into comparisons. The resulting lack of focus damages my journey. Seek, then, clarity and my eyes pointed towards love.
Lies I tell myself
Echoing voices
Brief flickers of
Light behind my
Eyes seeing potential
Birthed by different
Choices of a life
Not lived
Caught unwary
Tinged these
With regret
Painful loss
Of a false future
A lie told to
Myself
Though I love haiku, I also love creating longer works and free verse.
My family, trampled by the flu
My son has pretty much recovered from the latest stomach bug…now it’s my wife’s turn
Abruptly awake
Weary of microbes cruel work
Fearful I am next
Eternal Motion
I had fun with the image for this haiku
Yin and Yang, motion
Opposites seeking balance
Infinity’s quest
Believe in Yourself: A Haiku
Believe in yourself
There is power in dreaming
Live: energizing
*I’m saddened when self-doubt cripples dreams.
Parenting Woes
This winter’s night calls
Unasked for and painful gifts
The vomit fairy
Ah, awake with a sick kid.
An unpleasant night time filling my time for rest.
Tuesday night’s haiku
As the light now fades
This frantic day now finds peace
Music liberates
A Monday Haiku
Monday brings so much
For some, opportunity
For others, challenge
A Sunday Walk
Upon a brisk walk
Air is arming quite nicely
Sunlight is my friend
