Morning brings New Year
Invitations extended
I gladly accept
Haiku: Bobby’s Journeying
Your sails set just so
Edging out of the harbor
Adventures await
Your talents galore
Steer the way toward your future
What work will you choose?
Now time to linger
With family and roommates
Cook up a fine meal.
Haiku: James – A Revelation
At age five or six
Curiosity took hold
Drove you to explore
Everything fair game
You created ways to play
Drove me to despair
AHA moment struck
Finally I saw revealed
Genius in you
Mysteries to me
Your knowledge of how things work
Produced summer job
James, I’m proud of you
College years begin next fall
New things to explore
Haiku: Dressing For Halloween
Crisp chill in the air
Bright splotch of orange in oak tree
Fall shows its colors
Haiku: James, On Your Eighteenth Birthday
Gears in your mind turn
Creative thinking evolves
Your own signature
Your zest steers a path
You envision future days
My heart swells with pride
I treasure today
Creating Eggs Benedict
Simply sharing love
Haiku: Weather Amnesia
Tarp covering pool
Lounge chairs stored for the winter
Declare summer’s end
Yet hard to believe
Squirrels still gathering acorns
Fall sunshine beams warmth
Not a bad trade-off
Bright colored leaves and white snow
Will come in due time
Haiku: Fall House Cleaning
Muse has been drowsing
Beneath life’s daily matters
Awakening now
Cleansing rain falling
Breezes create refreshment
Words begin to stir
Family heart work
Enters time of fruition
Now space for my soul
