Ah, nice one, Missy!!

Love's a stagnant pool,
fetid depths remain murky,
drinking, hazardous.

Love can be stagnant

Love can be stagnant

‘til in the hurricane’s eye

it kisses goodbye.

Ha! Good one, Missy!

Ha! Good one, Missy!

One thing will calm us,
a premise with promise ... (or
so said Saint Thomas.)

The premise I like

is the one often confused

with the other one.

Nice one, moat!!

Marty and Doc Brown
always seem to have ways of
showing up in time.

The premise I like
takes us outside of the flow,
showing up in time.

Awfully late for that, but

A lovely haiku set, Peracles, but more importantly, my condolences on your dad's passing.

A parent's passing
is more than a sad event,
it's the end of youth.

For we've lost the path
our parents made for us and
now must walk our own.

This weekend my dad's

This weekend my dad's

one of the fallen. Flying

home's not quite the same.

All those years waiting

patiently till patient ran

out. Tired of sitting.

Memorial Day -

still see him up in the sky,

no fighter this time.

Awful how when a

parent goes we're 5 years old

again. Dignity?

Spent 3 days trying

to find a moment's thought, till

it crept up on me.

Thanks, dad. Safe journey.

Thanks DD! In my last post

In reply to I was worried about you.

Thanks DD! In my last post before this one, I said I was taking two weeks off to go to my grand-niece's wedding, assuming I would need an extra week off to recover. It was a lovely time, the ride from NYC to Harrisburg, PA (and vice versa) was done in two segments which I tolerated well. Although it was a bit exhausting, overall, the time off was refreshing and energizing and I realized that I didn't need the extra week off, so here I am. Now I'm ready for a nice 3 day weekend.

P.S. Here are a few more haikus I forgot to include in today's heap:

Blistering come-backs
bounced through his head, but all he
could say was, "Oh YEAH?!"

---

For some, compassion
Seems to sit upon a leaf,
Thus, might float away

---

As storm clouds gather,
a pair of kayakkers,
fight the swift current.

---

Playing piano,
requires dexterity.
I play clarinet.

---

Stiff and discarded,
old paintbrushes, wait, hope and,
pray for turpentine.
