Transitory Sleep

makes one weak and confused.

Depression follows.

Echos in the hills.

Sounds of discord return with

reverberation.

Overbearingness

is not a good quality.

Meekness is better.

Our Time

Lying with my baby,
underneath the stars,
Moon so bright and shiny
"Hey, I think that's Mars."

My truck bed is filled
with sleeping bags and pillows.
We hear the night sounds
and the wind in the willows.

This time is ours,
no one can take away.
We try to talk about something,
But think of nothing to say.

So we hold each other tightly,
and promise to never leave,
to keep this moment forever,
but we know that's just naive.

So we cherish the moments
that we can be as one.
Knowing it could end soon.
Something will ruin our fun.

Thunder off in the distance.
Clouds appear overhead.
Rain begins to fall on us.
We need an umbrella instead.

Rain falls down hard,
soaking us to the bone.
We run inside laughing,
only to hear the phone.

It's the babysitter calling,
telling us the news.
Kids are sleeping soundly
after a night of Blue's Clues.

So off to bed we go,
Thinking of the nice times we had.
Having kids at the babysitters,
hey, that's not half bad.

Off in the distance,

silent heat lightning flashes

without sound or storm.

Opportunities

come in many ways. Some are

equal, some are not.

Daily Haiku 4/24/2007

Methinks melba toast

melts momentarily in

milk of magnesia.

Daily Haiku 4/23/2007

A fusilade sounds

forth. Loud banging explosions

fill the solemn air.

One is a number.
Uno is that same number
just in Spanish speak.

Beer is bubbly.
But you don't see men drinking
with a straw, do you?

Daily Haiku 4/9/2007

Who likes the kernels
from popcorn? The snack's tasty
but toothpicks are not.

And here is another one that just came to me...

Electric fences
are no place for a pee break.
I learned a lesson.

I hear bad music

while on hold with Microsoft.

I need a hotfix.

For those of you who don't know, Microsoft sometimes knows there is a problem with there software and creates a hotfix or computer patch to fix the bug. But in their infinite wisdom, they decide to make you call in to get authorization to download it.

Dental floss is string.

It is waxy and minty

yet no one does it.

Daily Haiku 4/6/2007

Sorry this one is a day late. It was a crazy couple of days...

Water from the stream

may end up in the cooler.

Purification?

It is midnight

It's midnight, do you know where your Chihuahua is?

Daily Haiku 4/5/2007

Cold weather is here.
Like an avalanche it strikes
and makes us all cold.

Does anyone actually read my Haiku poems?

Polar Bears are white.
They like to eat fish and stuff
while they play freeze tag.

Daily Haiku 4/3/2007

Refrigerators
are neat. They keep your food cold
and your veggies crisp.

Daily Haiku 4/2/2007

Tonight's moon is full.

Its a yellow saucer in

the starry night sky.

Daily Haiku 4/1/2007

Winter is long gone.
The grass grows green and luscious
and the flowers bloom.

Escaping Chihuahua

Our little Chihuahua kept getting out of his cage that we keep him in. We only put him in it when we are gone, if he is naughty or anytime we just don't want him free to roam the house. But lately we kept finding him out. So recorded the little escape artist at work.
