Haiku, can you?

can-you-haiku-web

I did a group of three haiku’s a few days back.

All three were, in my thoughts, describing one word, which I did not reveal. I think I made it too hard, so I will repeat today.. well somewhat, but with the word revealed.

Why?

lol, I wanted to do a post and this is all I could come up with without writing another two thousand word post….

Haiku two

Well what the heck, lets see if I can do it again. Perhaps a few times.

Haiku the sequel. version two.. or yet again.

But the topic I will not state, lets see if it can be guessed.

a clue, one word, four syllables, three haiku’s, three clues.

Friendship

Friends are for keeps

even when one weeps

Smiles and tears are shared

for this is why they were paired

~

close together or far apart

they are always in each others heart

sharing stories, recipes and pranks

this is friendship, that you gives you such thanks

~

Like a tree’s canopy spreading in its growth

friendship expands and strengthens for both

little bumps in the road can be shared

smoother when you know your friend cared

~

grumbling about the weather

jousting with a feather

dancers on a show

uhm.. stars you know

~

offering tips

helping with blips

learning and nourishing

the friendship flourishing

~

but when the bump in the road

a mountain becomes

friends gather

to tear it down

~

to be leaned upon

to cry with

to laff with

to fight together

~

To share strength

to listen

and to hug

but mostly to be a friend.

~

because close or far

here or there

with a friend

you are never alone

Mother Nature is the culprit

mother-naturemother-nature

It may be all the Greeks fault though…

they started it all it seems….

Gaia, Mother Earth 

Goddess of theirs, that became known as Mother Nature…

Mother of the Titans

watcher of our weather…

Endless ride

the sea

It could be flat and calm, but seldom it was
the sea’s anger so apparent, as it cast it’s froth about
waves high and mighty, tossed with such reckless abandon
cresting and rolling with a vicious fever

wake up, wake up oh sleeping muse

I want to pen a poem
to concieve it just so
with words that stream and ebb
and of your mind they will infect

oh sheish, there is more, surely

monday morning blahs, blech.

The sun slowly slips over the roof tops,
glorious in its shiny brilliance.
Chasing away the night drops,
that linger with stuborn resilience.

 Pretty songs fill the room,
wafting gently in the air.
The morning starts to bloom,
the alarm clock sails with such… flair.

Stretches and yawns,
the first smile of the day.
The sun wakes and casts its bronze,
sparkling beams in that sky of gray.

Fluttering eyes trying to blink,
slumber beckoning, tempting a return.
Soft pillows beckon, where a head could sink,
alas, but you must be stern.

A new dawn, new day, but hang a bit..
hop out of bed, make a note draw a map.
Dear self.. “buy a new clock you twit”
oh, but wait… it is Monday.. oh crap!

oh there has to be more… Monday’s just keep coming, click to see..

endless slumbers

Andrea, on her blog, myspokenheart posted a post hmmm or are they blogs on your blog? today, Images of abandonment.

Some were of mental institutions, deteriorating over time. The sadness of the way we were treated then, is apparent in the images.

So I tried a poem. 🙂

seems there is a poem you will have to click to see

Speak Out

Things are seen, things are not. 

Some should be, seen that is, some should be shared. 

Some things should not be hidden, though they are

We need to grow up.

sadly there is more click to see

More J.R.R Tolkien

Poking around I discovered  J R R Tolkien  read some of his poems and that they are on youtube. He has one that he reads in elvish. Not being fully fluent in elvish a lot of it went over my head…..

So I listened to some other poems he read and thought, how cool would it be to find the one I posted yesterday, to have him read it.

Well the first one that came up was not from him, but by Adele McAllister.  She put it to song. When you peek below you can listen to it, I think it is beautiful.

Did I find Mr. Tolkien reading one… well you will have to look to see.

, so click on to have a look, and listen to the song
