Haiku - Challenge

True challenge within
Stand on a giant’s shoulders
Dolphins help injured

Soar like a falcon
Ride the wind; Run with Longhorns
But learn to walk first 

Haiku - Dad

my dad, long time gone
attitudes, actions remain

dogs, bears just feed selves

Haiku - Forgiveness

For -given, -gotten,

Clouds blow through, the sky changes,

My hands are best buds.

Haiku Reflection

Friendship Refreshes

Acceptance, Encouragement

An Amazing Dance

Haiku Karma

Can't hide from spirit,

Presence with me, brain blower!

says pslamist David

Haiku Bluebirds

the more  it changes

expression releases me

bluebirds grace the wind

Haiku - Roses

two dates spaced with dash

beginning, ending, between

petals remind us

Haiku - Fun

Happiness Abounds
While Finishing This Homework
Cookie, After Math

Haiku - Five words

in Difficulty
find Love and Forgiveness too
Humility, Peace

Tearful Christmas memory - in 2004 my family was adopted by the Cancer Radiology clinic near where we lived. The kids were 15, 12, and 8 that year. At the time it didn't seem like such a big deal, and then it soaked in, these people treat lots of cancer patients and they are adopting my family! What do they think of our situation! But we did manage to make Christmas 2005 too!
And I am most thankful for the year 2005.

Maybe this Christmas we should pray for those who have been "adopted" during the holidays.

Haiku - Culprit's mask

not for public show

psyche fingers culprit's mask

rose or thorn, tis sweet

------------------------------

The topic for this week's Haiku is "Guilty Pleasure"
I tried to focus the guilt side of that coin.

What is Haiku? Why should you write one?

impulse of the child
inside it's all poetic
suddenly you smile







------------------------------------------------------------



---------------------------------------------------------
a dab of background, I was at an event last night and a child of similar age to the one in the picture (judging by the dental work), well, she got to smiling when I would give her a wink or a nod and it was a "sudden smile" that we shared - you know those times when impish joy takes over the moment and you have a child grinning, well it was one... so I made a note of the term "sudden smile" and vowed to elaborate... wah-lah! today's haiku availed itself as the "poifect" opportunity...
Have a wonderfully childish day!

Haiku - I Want a Girl

I want a sweet girl
just like the girl (my mama)
that married dear dad

Spontaneity - Haiku

(Rita Hayworth)


perfume wafts in wake
perfect balance, hips swinging
lilting walk, heads turn

Haiku - Geese

geese honk in passing

blackbirds chatter, rise and soar

times change all travel

Watered as needed

watered as needed
bloom long faded, season change
wind's gift is waiting

Haiku - Halloween

Triangular Nose
Sniffing October's last breeze
Hmmm, pumpkin pie?...Brains?

Happy Halloween!

All Wet

Summer's mist, Fall's rain
Winter's snowstorm, Spring's showers
Surprise! I'm all wet!

ember

cold air inflames leaves
liquid embers promise warmth
love colors hot cheeks













i give all away
yet what you've given i have
head against your chest

Time

Memory holder

Marking every moment

future's promise - Time

Light Haiku and to bless choice

Wind whistles along,
breezy tunes, free, light, robust,
words include your name



To Bless Choice

May recognition become a sweet refrain
for the song of life. Dependence, seldom
considered the driving force, yet,
bringing harmony with recognition
giving basis for choice.

May the blessing gained in choice
be acknowledged with graceful purpose.
Choice becomes the natural
progression when the starting
point is identified.
May the choice of humility
bring reconciliation.
May the choice of gentleness
yield personal peace.
May the choice of generosity
allow a redefining of abundance.
May the choice of joy
create celebration moments.

May choice bring clarity to
relationship as giving and
receiving work together;
Choice becomes empowered
through resources built into
life's rich plenitude.
