Is there anything,
more satisfying than to
help others achieve?
--------------------------
Willows in the wind,
gently swaying back and forth,
like sleepy dancers.
--------------------------
As the years went by,
he could not forget her eyes;
so filled with kindness.
-------------------------
A remote sand dune,
hides a young couple in love,
from all ... but one dog.
-----------------------------
With a gleeful squeal,
the little girl in the park,
discovered the slide.
-----------------------------
Saw a sign today,
That said 'Stand Up MRIs' ...
"Take my x-rays ... please."
--------------------------
Walking through the woods,
I find a weathered birdhouse,
nailed onto a tree.
--------------------------
The sun was shining
as he stumbled to his bed,
the first draft finished.
-------------------------
He flipped through pages
of sad poetry before
finding his haiku.
--------------------------
He meditates, then
'dissolves into his being.'
(Don't wake him from naps!)
----------------------------
The confused tourist:
"Don't they speak French in Paris?"
Tour Guide: "We're in Minsk."
-----------------------------
We're on a spaceship
traveling through time. Can we
stop to buy ice cream?

Here's an animation video I made promoting the Feb. 23rd fundraiser that I am working on, which is called, 'The Best Medicine' ... Check it out, the 'actors' are masters of deadpan delivery.

You made your own cartoon?
Wow.
I mean I enjoyed this week's haikus and everything...
It's amazing what you can find on the internet, these days. I stumbled upon this website called xtranorml, and it lets you create your own animated videos with computerized voices, and everything. The only trouble is, the vocal inflections are sometimes a bit weird and getting the voices to pronounce certain words correctly. For example, they had a heck of time pronouncing 'Spondylitis' until I figured out that I had to spell it for them as 'Spon dee light us'... It is the 21st century, we've sent men to the moon, now even idiots like me can make animated videos. LOL

I love your haikus but damn.
I am really impressed with this cartoon and its message and your charitable works.
I cannot believe you put this together in an hour; you spent time on this!
Again, well done.
