 Still More Haiku


What to do today

To keep safe from the virus?

Walk the pebble beach


We will get through this

As long as we have what’s good

Plenty chocolate


Virus, stay away

Disinfectant is coming

Two can play that game


Corona, teach us 

To care for and help others

The world needs it now


Go to the Great Lake

Feel its power in the waves

Its healing presence


The water in you

Is the water in the Lake

Keep it clean, pristine


A new friend next door

We’re the new kids on the block

They’re here forty years


This five-seven-five 

Writing is as easy as

Falling 

          off

              a

                log




Contemplate the hand

An amazing tool for good

Lend it to someone


One finger writing

Hunt-and-peck, my keyboard style

It works for the birds


For those who read this:

Stay home. Stay safe and healthy.

Stop the viral spread


Woodchuck, you are up

From sleeping all winter long

Now running so fast?


What prompts you, turkey,

To run across the highway?

Oh, I see her now


A day of beauty

Greenery now emerging

Rabbit, watch for fox


It’s the end of March

Sun, you’re moving North again

Warms up Wisconsin

Songs God Hears

-
  Songs God Hears A raptured Baptist chorus in their storefront church. Nuns’ sweet hymns in their Catholic choir. Buddhists chanting their hypnotic mantras. Muslims’ call to prayer, five times a day. A blues man pouring out his wounded heart. A song writer strumming and singing his truth. School kids piping-up their innocent songs. A family caroling outside Grandma’s door. A lover serenading the love of his life. A mother’s lullaby to her sleepy baby. Baptists, Catholics, Buddhists, Muslims, Blues Men, Song Writers, School Kids, Carolers, Lovers, Moms. Which ones does God hear? If you hear them, doesn’t God?

My Destiny

-
  My Destiny I’m writing my destiny now. Each man is an island if he chooses to be. I’m understanding my destiny now. No man is an island if he chooses to connect. I’m loving my destiny now. No man is an island if he leads with his heart. I’m expanding my destiny now. No man is an island if he ventures beyond himself. I’m sharing my destiny now. I’m bridging one island to another by sharing my truth from an unguarded heart. I’m living my destiny moment to moment now. My heart is hearing what yours has to say. I’m living my destiny now. My destiny is now, living each moment with an open heart.

Real Change or Just Pocket Change

-
  Real Change or Just Pocket Change      You can’t change the people around you.      But you can change the people around you.                                                      Anonymous You can’t change peoples’ behaviors, but you can surround yourself with different people. How? Look to yourself. The people around you are there for a reason. And the reason is you. They are around you to be a mirror for you, a reflection of your own behavior. They are there to teach you something. If you don’t like what’s in the mirror - the behavior that they are presenting - then you need to change yourself.  There’s no changing others, only yourself. If you want to hang with a group more authentic, be authentic yourself. That’s real change, not just pocket change.
