One Year In Haiku

As a figurative band-aid for my wounded writer’s mind, I am starting a new “Haiku A Day” blog, everydayimhaikuing.tumblr.com

Spider webs, black cats, ghouls, ghosts, and tall pointy hats, skeletons and rats!

Customer Service: Has it always been this hard? Perhaps, just for me.

The Scooby-Doo crew looks seem to suit me and you and our good friends, too!

A Pabst Blue Ribbon coupled with a pizza slice could be your heaven

Light in the darkness, the wind against the rain clouds, you are my sunshine

Everlasting love will weather through the seasons unchanging in change

The veil grows thin, now, in this time when the dead speak and light is waning.

Pumpkins and tombstones decorating every lawn - warnings of the dark

What mask will you choose to hide behind this season of secrets and death?

each year is one breath - winter the icy wheezing, summer the hot gasp

Evergreen so tall Evergreen so unchanging Evergreen so strong

the canvas of earth is splashed with orange and gold and dappled with red

like two strong oxen we pull our cart of daydreams into tomorrow

I fail, you succeed I try, you do, and do well I love, you cherish

the hours of the day, like a field of playful cats, not to be controlled

hope is the starlight to be seen but never touched, steadfast as the night
