    Messengers of fate, blindly do

    Profile life, impulses not much thought about

    To targets, angels and luck.

    Things we hope, deep passions

    Vanity, not wanting, shame of pride, price ahead

    Too sweet, must taste again.

    Do you ever stop
    to wonder even for a
    moment —who am I?

    How did I get here?
    What is this unfamiliar
    world? —where am I?

    is this a dream? or
    is this real? Am I really here?...
    or am I else-where?

    Lots of feelings here,
    but Haiku counts syllables.
    Five, seven, then five.

    Don’t want to count them?
    Fine, but don’t call it Haiku.
    Start another thread.

    Call it ”Poetry”,
    call it anything you wish;
    it is not Haiku.

    What is it that so
    often rises with me in
    the dawn of each morn?

    Not presence, not the
    weight of the bore-ing soul, what
    is this sense of self?

    I saw this dreaming,
    the night before occurring:
    Dark female spirit 

    drawing energy 
    from the heart center- intense,
    causing synapses,

    muscles to flinch and
    flail, pulling life from within.
    Uninvited. Theft.

    She caused me to move:
    a puppet without recourse.
    I shoved back her grip

    with a guttural 
    roar, growling: "Try harder, b@$c%..."
    She pointed to him,

    a brown haired young man
    and as she did, he reached out
    to safeguard, protect.

    Instant motion. She
    pried veiled strings with schadenfreude.
    Innocence knew not.

    When I thought to post,
    news of shooting filled the screen.

    Did others dream, too?

    Quote Posted by Bill Ryan (here)
    A few hours rain
    In 53 days. The frogs
    Sang loudly that night

    But are now silent.
    The lakes and rivers are dry.
    Wild fires are burning.

    Frightened creatures hide
    In their burrows, but cannot
    Escape. Little birds

    In their nests are too
    Young to fly away. This is
    Nature’s Great Cycle.

    A little mouse lay
    Dead on my trail. He ached with
    Thirst. One dewdrop would

    Have sustained him. But
    There were none. He closed his eyes
    To lie in the dust

    And then his heart stopped.
    I told his tiny spirit
    I mourned his passing.

    I gently laid him
    In the long grass by the trail,
    A soft resting place.

    But Mother Nature
    Will never intend to hurt.
    It is all God’s Will.
    The smallest tragedy

    Last year, in the drought,
    A mouse silently died of
    Thirst in the mountains.

    This year, much has changed.
    Rain, rain, barely any sun,
    Bringing dangers of

    Quite a different kind.
    On my roof, a little mouse
    Was swept away in

    A heavy downpour.
    Overwhelmed, he fell to the
    Rain barrel below.

    He tried to swim, and
    Gave tiny desperate cries. But
    I never heard him

    And no rescue came.
    Today, I found his silent
    Body floating there.

    So very sorry,
    I blamed myself for failing
    To notice his plight.

    This tiny event
    Has stayed with me. With sorrow,
    I honored his life.

    What value has a
    Mouse? All beings are precious.
    Man, disconnected

    From Nature and God,
    May one day encounter what
    This little mouse did.

    I’m hoping this change
    Will now save any more mice
    From the rain barrel.

    This mesh trampoline
    Was my bright idea today.
    It works really well!
