It arrived by mail
Sat quarantined in bathtub
Til time for debut
Cute little laptop
Took bow under son’s guidance
New passwords and such
We await tech guy
Called to transfer apps and files
From old home to new
Haiku: New Household Member

Haiku: Back to the Future
Tuck pointers make dust
Hard at work pool guys plant trees
I found something lost
Changes at WordPress
Undid Haiku construction
I almost gave up
Found my latest posts
On original theme site
Long gone and renamed
Poetry By Heart
Using Classic Editor
Breathes new life in me
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: What If It’s An Ocean
What if the river
I have stepped into anew
Is a wide ocean
And what if behind
Lies another blue ocean
Origin of me
” You cannot step into the same river twice.”
Brand New Day
I chose this theme five years ago
Inky blue sky and far away planets
Daring new steps my inauguration
Quote on “About” gave me fair warning
Step into a river and do not expect
The same current twice
My river bore me along for a while
Waves of bright memories transformed into words
Poetry sprang singing from deep hidden well
Then drought drained inspiration
I’m back where I started but oddly ahead
Brand New Day once again.
Refurbishment
To look at my present as possible past
Daunting endeavor, confusing at best
Then Aha! moment furnished direction
Live in the now! where else?
Standing in line at a ballyhooed art show
On my feet two hours at least
Energized by engagement I realized
My cane and I can go miles before rest
A present rich with much possibility
Brand new exploration if I open my eyes
Reach for new challenges from creative grab bag
Open doors not extensions of past
With curiosity checked-out travel offerings
Searching for something I had missed before
Discovered adventures focused on interests
Not only the aging seek learning in classrooms
And so next September I head for New Hampshire
To learn and to listen to sizzling Cool Jazz
Taking first step toward reimagination
Living into new perspectives on life
Haiku: Islands in the Sun
Iron patio chairs
Stalwart remnants of Summer
Take on a new life
Retrieved from storage
Optimistic sun-seekers
Awaiting the Spring
Random arrangement
Solitary testament
To power of hope
