Painful - Haiku can form

              waiting for the internet

               to load itself.

9-21-15

lonely for compny

talkative, about himself

Blessed Cantankerous.



(I take a home bound person library books. But i do enjoy it!)

9-8-15

In a cold dull room

naked from the waist down

I await the doctor.



Just watching the clock

cold as fish on ice.

Inviting place the doctors.

Chain up octopus.

Physically Impossible?

More secure houseplant.



"Chain up Octopus"

how, odd, on my TO DO list

But happily done.



Chain up octopus

when taken literally

a funny picture.



Low thunder rumble

dark cloud please please rain on me!

Heat soaked Labor Day.



I came outside

so that you could rain on me

Thunder cloud  don't disappoint!

each day so perfect

time together, time for self.

reshaped by marriage.



orange ball of the sun

tries to hide behind the leaves

brilliance I still see.



I crave some

fattening, chocolate covered,

cookie dough, moose track,

ice cream.

Happy humming drone

metallic wasp buzz

inside my Pepsi can.

OR

he was a happy little thing

down in my Pepsi can

making it vibrate with gleeful flight



THE perfect hotel room

Best view of the lakes' sunrise

honeymoon bliss.



Breezy lake, Hot sun,

Oh how much i have missed you

roller coaster ride.



beautiful Gate Keeper

day or night greatness

four times our first day there.

8-2-15

Where the sunshine plays



Where the sunshine plays

through the canopy of leaves

our Versailles State Park.



Dancing here and there

silent wind is the music

where the sunshine plays.



Where the sunshine plays

across little faces of

yellow wood poppies.

The winter gale
blows the evening sun
into the sea

So i have a small collection of haiku that i have painted. This is my latest work.
When i have mounted them all on wood i will seek out a gallery and have an art show. Don't worry, i will invite you.

free art supplies

Sometimes in life you are blessed with free art supplies. And the best thank you is to do a picture.

This sketch is of some of my roses in my garden. The haiku goes like this: 

Bouquet of roses

volunteers like sweet fragrance

new smiles each day.

in my house.

Welcome!

Two poems expressing the same idea. I think the second one is stronger. What do you think?



I find it strange the sun

shines as I go to bed.

Troubles of summer.



Responsible me

lie down and rise by the clock

summer sun beam on

stories are powerful

delightful word choice

laugh, cry, instruct, heal.



writing haiku while holding still

draw my picture

the mind plays

hold still!

rattle, squeak, clunk, drip

Going for a walk.

Warm sun. Crisp air. Step lightly.

Makes me think of you.

Sunset highlights three

snowflakes dancing past

the electricity lines.

haiku & crafting

This weeks Haiku were silly love poems to my boyfriend for Valentine's Day. 

I decoupaged an old box & filled it with nine original haiku. Two of which I will share with you- 

What do people say about us? 

a couple, so cute. 

They met at church. 

"Have patience." he said. 

Oh how sexy 

for a man to pay in cash! 

      (insert doodle of an engagement ring here.)

So what haiku have you been composing or reading lately? Send me your suggestions.

It must be winter:

I am reading poetry,

Notably haiku.

Today I would like to freature

Today I would like to feature an awesome haiku by Kari Anne Roy from her book Haiku Mama

In the winter I read more poetry. But this one demanded a full stop and laugh.
