For several years I have been posting weekly Haiku, usually on Wednesday. Here is the first batch of them!
Resolutions come
Every year, but every day
I'm made new in Christ
Coffee is chaos
Tranquility is a cup
Of simple black tea
But sometimes I still
drink that dark swirling chaos
bitter energy
What's more calming than
Rain on the roof and small drops
Merging with puddles?
Look up to the sky
See a bright band of color
God's promises shown
What is better than
The Mona Lisa: Artful
Cooking out of love
Have Humble heart strength
To stand up and "Be a Man"
Love, Serve and Protect
I would like to say
I appreciate my Church
A blessing from God
None can truly be
A leader without donning
Shoes of a servant
Let my heartstrings play
Your Melody of Grace, the
Rhythm in my Soul
You don't really know
The Ocean until you have
Walked in the desert
Every knee will bow
So God we bow down right now
And forevermore
Mountains of Tissues
Become monuments of Spring
Built by sneezes true
Let us Never See
The Horror of Such a War
Hundred years Ago
Fred feels for Friday's
Fancy Fractions Factor First
Fun, Fabulous finds
When you see people
You do not like, remember
Simply, God loves them
The number today:
Seventy divided by
The square root of four
Young saplings will grow
When gardening with wisdom.
Happy Birthday Dad!!!
You might hate the one
who's rowing...but don't throw stones you might sink the ship
The Cycle of Years
Hues change in lives and the trees
Autumn now draws near
Don't follow your heart
Lead it where it needs to go
By reading God's map
My Life is a Film
When you know the "Director"
Scenes come easily
How is Peace measured?
When our souls look upwards and
half our blood stays blue
Ships don't build themselves
Passenger seats don't drive cars
Movement should be mine
Though you hear me say
Yes, May the Fourth be with you
I don't have a lisp
In a long journey
Which step is most important:
The first or the last?
Would you leave your house
Destroyed and in disarray
Ponder on Earth Day
Entropy is real
That does not mean there's no Joy
The journey is Now
Hear the Egg Cracking
What will come forth is new life
Spiritual Rebirth
Here's dark clouds of spring
destroying tissue boxes
with sneezes like storms
Where can one find joy?
Forget "over the rainbow."
I have all I need.
Battle waged between
People locked in bitterness
Spoils of War spoil you
Battle is within
Why is the world so cruel?
inside comes outside
What makes a teacher?
One who is willing to learn
The growth never stops
Take me to the land
Of rubber, wood and graphite...
"The Pencil Vortex"
I must now say this
Haiku Wednesday is not dead
here's keeping it fresh
————-
In honor of last weeks thanksgiving, and of family, here is a special Haiku --- I was playing a game with my family, and my niece made a pun, and my aunt Susan said I should make it into a Haiku. So I did!
My niece played a game
She said, I'm putting what I'm
pudding. "Ha, Ha Ha!"
——————————
For Thanksgiving
My prayer today is
Fill me with your love and grace
More than this good food
Come November rain
Chase the dry like cats chase mice
Balance nature here
For Veterans Day
What shall be given
For a Land to truly breath
Time...Service...and Life
