Once Upon a Haiku

Bubbles

2012-01-08T18:01:00.000-08:00

Wispy, shimmery

Bubbles floating to the sky

Fragile as a soul

As summer goes by

2011-08-17T05:38:00.001-07:00

Sunburns and splashes

Beaches and warm sunny days

As summer goes by

Immortal mortal

2011-07-04T08:51:00.000-07:00

Immortal mortal

Physical turns dust to dust

A soul eternal

My first attempt at a Haiku story:-)

(Written for a dear friend who retired.)

A tangle of cords
Friend and computer guru
Wrapped around our hearts

Zombies

Written for Angela Ackerman's Zombie Haiku Contest( 2009)
Check out Angela's blog: The Bookshelf Muse

Blood all slurped and gone
Brains soft mashed and eyeballs popped
Zombie dinner time

(Christi Proctor was one of my favorite designers on Trading Spaces. )

Designing Woman
Classic ~ Rustic ~ Elegance
Always styling

Chocolate

2011-05-01T11:32:00.000-07:00

Smooth, sensual taste
To some people, indulgence
To me? Necessity!

Women

2011-05-01T11:31:00.000-07:00

Sneaker practical
Deep inside she's a vision
In high heeled red shoes

Buddies in high heels
Sneaker-footed therapists
Friendships of the heart

Breast Cancer Awareness

2011-05-01T11:30:00.000-07:00

Cotton candy soft
Chewy bubble gum gooey
Pink Warrior courage

National Woman's Day

2011-05-01T11:29:00.000-07:00

Friends, mothers, teachers
Explorers leading the way
So very grateful

Library

2011-05-01T11:28:00.000-07:00

All kinds of wonders
Just waiting to be explored
In a library

Emotions

2011-05-01T11:25:00.000-07:00

Shifting memories
Come to the front ~ ebb away
Waves crash to the shore

Lemon lollypops
Life never full unless lived
Tart experience

Not a toe moving
Mind clear and no thoughts burning
Pure relaxation

Spring stretches and wakes
Summer leaps and fall snuggles
Eyes closed, winter sleeps

Moon

2011-05-01T11:24:00.001-07:00

Hanging in the sky
Creative inspiration
Nature's true magic

Children

2011-05-01T11:16:00.000-07:00

Perfection defined
God made the sound of laughter
On a child's lips

Crown of princess pink
Flutters of lace and glitter
Of childhood dreams

Childhood alive
With words of rhythm and rhyme
Thank you, Dr. Seuss!

Wiggly fat bare toes
Squiggly worms after a rain
Made for a mud hole

Baby blanket soft
Girly girls with attitude
Hot pink and neon

Fantasy

2011-05-01T11:11:00.000-07:00

(Published in Orion's Child Ezine - June 2008)

Unreal fantasy
Mystical and magical
Heat of the night dreams

Fairies in wagons
Unicorns amid dragons
Imagination

Stars blink, stretching far
Twinkling, swirling magic
Of a fairy's wand

Love

2011-05-01T11:07:00.000-07:00

A journey begun
Still friends, lovers and soulmates
Wedded through the years

Chocolate kisses
Sweet love said with red flowers
An evening for two

Emotion

2011-05-01T11:04:00.000-07:00

Passionate anger
A churning, rushing river
Surging waterfall

Sweet, sweet solitude
Unbearable loneliness
A flip of the coin

Jesus

2011-05-01T11:03:00.000-07:00

Burdens so weary
I lift up my soul and pray
Jesus takes my pain

Prayer

2011-05-01T11:02:00.000-07:00

Dawning of the day
Down on bended knee in prayer
A new beginning

Angels

2011-05-01T10:58:00.000-07:00

A whisper of wings
And a touch soft as a breeze
Grace personified

New Year's

2011-05-01T10:52:00.000-07:00

A year gone and done
Hope now achieved or faded
New aspirations

Ambition's wrinkles
Old New Year's resolutions
Now smoothed and re-stitched
Resolutions made
On the eve of a new year
Same old, same old me

Christmas

2011-05-01T10:47:00.000-07:00

Mistletoe delight
Kisses by the firelight
Santa's grownup treat

Temperature rising
Embers beginning to heat
Holiday shopping

Christmas day arrived
Neatly wrapped now ripped and gone
Friends, food and love shared

Snowglobe soft and light
Make a wish on it tonight
Pure Christmas delight

Winter

2011-05-01T10:46:00.000-07:00

Awake to a dream
A blanket of snow and ice
Winter gone to sleep

Thanksgiving

2011-05-01T10:45:00.000-07:00

Bountiful blessings
Overflowing abundance
Pants that somehow shrank

Halloween

2011-05-01T10:42:00.000-07:00

Stories all scary
Delightful shivers of fright
On Halloween Night

Through the night we roam
Our masks on and sacks held out
Begging for candy

Autumn

2011-05-01T10:37:00.000-07:00

Cool September morn
School books, mittens and learning
Summer memories

Sleepy summer days
Fleet of foot and can't be caught
School is in session

Forth of July

2011-05-01T10:36:00.000-07:00

Hamburgers sizzle
Flags wave and fireworks burst
Freedom won ~ Thank you!

Father's Day

2011-05-01T10:35:00.000-07:00

Gentle as a tear
Strong enough for piggy backs
My dad, my father

Memorial Day

2011-05-01T10:33:00.000-07:00

A day to reflect
Loss and mourning ~ remembrance
Honor and Service

Summer

2011-05-01T10:28:00.000-07:00

As the warm sun shines,
Eyes close and muscles weaken
Melting Energy

Cooling Summer Breeze
A mother's perfect children
So nonexistent

Cool sips fight the heat
Now trading cocoa for
Summer lemonade

Earth Day

2011-05-01T10:26:00.000-07:00

Blue waves and green grass
White frost and squishy brown mud
Colors of our earth

Easter

2011-05-01T10:25:00.000-07:00

Sing Hallelujah
For hold Him, the grave could not
Hallelujah, Lord!

St. Patrick's Day

2011-05-01T09:41:00.000-07:00

St. Paddy's Day fun
Wearing of the green for luck
Saucy little pinch

Wearing of the green
Shamrocks and Irish wishes
Pinches and kisses

Spring

2011-05-01T09:29:00.000-07:00

Spring ~ light and airy
A rising breeze ~ darkened sky
Thunderstorms abound

Sunshine turns to cold
Blizzards blow, tornadoes dance
Oklahoma Spring

The first day of spring
A renewal of spirit
All things possible

Welcome
