Modern Day Haiku

There are those who write

There are those who understand

There are those who read.

Do you hear the wind?

Take a moment to listen.

It’s a lovely sound.

  

Can you imagine?

Her book is a bestseller!

Hard to imagine.

Do you read eBooks?

What books do you like reading?

Well good books of course.

Look me in the eye.

Please put down your mobile phone,

Can we have a chat?

Happy Valentine's Day!

I send you a kiss.

One memorable kiss

That you can feel in your heart.

No spittle,

No germs,

No embarrassing breath—

No

Lipstick stains,

Jealously,

Fighting,

Slamming doors,

Or drama of any kind.

 

Just the faint whisper

Of heated air

Passing your cheek-

Lingering long enough

To mingle in your scent.

My gift between

Consenting adults.

One solitary kiss

That doesn’t lead to more.

No lusting,

Nothing sexy....

Like a misplaced hair

Tickling your face

Or a soft tissue

Wiping a tear.

One solitary kiss.

My little present

For you to accept-

To remember when

The calendar pages

Fall like autumn leaves-

To unveil when times are hard-

To savor when you’re alone.

I send you a kiss.

Did you get it?

Never Say Never!

I said never again...but maybe I was kidding. Maybe I just can’t say no to Arlee but every year when the A to Z Challenge comes up—I sign up like some sort of drug-induced sheep. Or maybe more like a sow before she’s recycled into breakfast bacon, because I’m totally committed and looking forward to a month of hyper-fast blogging.

The theme I've chosen is HOME and I don’t mean home improvement and recipes, although it would be fun trying to put some meat on these intangible bones. In other words, I’d love to give you something concrete you could use but most of the posts will be about that feeling of home. I’ll be blogging about the smells, laughter and love that make a house a home—simple and pure—just random thoughts and poems from my heart.  Hope to see you every week, but in April, I hope you can visit me every day! (Also, if you have a blog don't forget to sign up and tell me your theme.)
