A Father’s Day Haiku

A FATHER’S DAY HAIKU

Fall brought big heartbreak
Loss of a daddy dearest
Summer comes to mourn

knocker balls

REMEMBER THESE?… NO MATTER  WHAT THEIR MANUFACTURERS LABELED THEM AS (I.E. KLICK-KLACK BALLS, CLACKER BALLS OR JUST PLAIN CLACKERS), WE OFTEN CALLED THEM CRACKER BALLS. THEY WERE HEAVY GLASS BALLS THAT YOU ENDED UP CRACKING YOURSELF ON THE WRISTS OR THE HEAD WITH.  OUCH!  AND THEY CAME IN HANDY AS BROTHER-BEATERS.  😉  HONESTLY, THEY WERE GREAT STRESS RELIEVERS AND I’VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT GETTING A PAIR FROM EBAY OR AMAZON TO HELP RELIEVE STRESS. I ALSO THOUGHT THEY MIGHT COME IN HANDY AS AN AID TO FOCUS ON MY WRITING…WHEN TOYING WITH IDEAS.

LAZY SUMMER HAIKU

Lazy days sweeping
Leaves of summer soft and green
Yule hearths but a dream

Summer Solstice – For Carpe Diem

Georgia's avatarBastet and Sekhmet's Library

sun sun

summer solstice
dancing under in star-light
druid’s changing time

ancient rites
blessings from the sun above
makes earth mature

fruits and grains
maturing marked from this day
summer solstice

days grow shorter
as we move now foreward
past sun’s zenith

bitter the taste
once the song is over
winter soon returns


Written for Carpe Diem Haiku Kai – Summer Solstice – the first haiku is dedicated to Oliana Kim from Traces of Soul who inspired it!

WIND OF CHANGE – Scorpions

I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change

The world is closing in
Did you ever think
That we could be so close like brothers
The future’s in the air
Can feel it everywhere
I’m blowing with the wind of change

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change

Walking down the street
Distant memories
Are buried in the past forever
I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsty.com/scorpions-wind-of-change-lyrics.html ]
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change

The wind of change
Blows straight into the face of time
Like a stormwind that will ring the freedom bell
For peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing
What my guitar wants to say

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change
