Haiku .... current feeling in 3 lines!

[HopSan]

Not here to pose, show
To prove, fight, eli minate wind mills
But to win, hard, total

[HopSan]

To be serious, really serious,
And not force, but make them see,
Is the pain of Good.

[East Sun]

Wake up! We are being

Destroyed by crooks no less, yea!

In plain sight, yea! yeah!

[Agape]

Discussion sharpens on

The reefs and hedges of this:

civilisation

🌄

[HopSan]

Sang Christmas songs, choir, why
Most people held tears, memories, not happy.
Long life beyond, short here.

[Bill Ryan]

A huge butterfly
Lay dying in my kitchen.
I gathered him up

With great care, and laid
Him in the warm morning light.
He fluttered away,

Revived by the sun.
Then a hungry bird grabbed him.
But I scared it off,

And the butterfly
Flew off into the forest.
He was free at last.

[grapevine]

New Year's arrived and
Anticipation abounds.
Much at stake this year

[Bill Ryan]

Overnight, at last
I caught the small mouse who'd been
Raiding my larder.

I felt so sorry.
A beautiful small creature,
Created by God,

Fearful, his tiny
Heart pounding, not knowing if
He would live or die.

I gently took him
To the forest, where I hoped
He'd find a new life.

Can we share our world
With all of nature's beauty?
I just cannot know.

[Harmony]

Lovely little mouse
Bilbo's larder is the best
Bill's comes second next

"As daft as a brush . . ."
sounds nonsensical, until
you add a few words:

These words are surely
"without any bristles", which
makes better sense now?

[Bill Ryan]

I've missed this Haiku
thread! :) So here’s a fun report
Of our hike today.



A wet, wild morning —
So we happily set out
To battle the storm.

In my Gore-Tex shell
I’m dry and warm; and Mara
Has her thick fur coat.

(A weatherproof dog,
And all-terrain, too. Nothing
Ever worries her.)

I couldn’t see much,
And Mara nothing at all. :)
But we were so glad

To be able to
Enjoy these wild high mountains
As we always can.

Back home safe and dry;
A chicken lunch for Mara,
Home-made soup for me.

I hope SO much that
We can both still do this for
Many years to come.

[Bill Ryan]

Today, quite by chance
I met my friends on the road.
My dog and I off

For a mountain hike,
While they were returning home.
Such a tiny thing,

But they were SO pleased
To see me, smiles and handshakes,
High-fives and kind words.

I’d not seen them for
Ten days, as they'd been up north
For a mountain race.

As you all may know,
I live silently with my
Quiet, solo thoughts.

So when I met them,
Though briefly, I became blessed —
No longer alone.

[Matthew]

[Solitude | Company] is nice,
Then one has too much which sucks.

It's impossible

NO LONGER ALONE

In the quiet, still
or near still breeze of the breath
as it flows — am I

Now and always, near
and far, here and there, is where
when and how — am I

All that is, within
the eye which perceives, I dance
with inside as we go

'Round and 'round and 'round
as one in the soft-glowing
radiant moon light

[Bill Ryan]

Oh, where is the sun?
Our year without a summer
Continues… each day

Talk about weather
England has been rather good
Not wanting to gloat


But if I wanted to tick off two English stereotypes: a) talk about the weather, b) say sorry all the time - then I would end it with: "Sorry about that", ...but it sounds smarmy, which I'm sorry about.

[HopSan]

Things unplanned, happen. Synchronicity.

Happiness -- old debt gone. Goodness un-punished.

Proof, not needed, but nice.

[Casey Claar]

Today is day one
of the only day in which
I will ever live

***

Ever-presence
(it is only 'time' that comes and goes)

[grapevine]

Just bought nunchakas
For practiceing martial art
Not wooden but foam

WTF?

[HopSan]

Relative, surprised, after hardened decades.

Cannot hold her laughter, so much relief.
