The Mind Control is Deep Here ~ Haiku

Stand in a straight line

shoulder the wall, hands at sides
summertime, free them!

Perigee Haiku

My own poor attempt
to preserve the perigee
lost in translation

Haiku and Knots

She learned to tie knots

to adorn her tiny wrists

with friendship bracelets

Rain collection haiku

Obsessions are born
When you start collecting rain
It's never enough

When he leaves....

Duty calls for Dad
Parting is such sweet sorrow
Sad girls choke back tears

*******************

When we have to live without Daddy for a few weeks, it's hard on me, but it's easy for me to recognize a remember those who sacrifice much more time (and then some) away from their families; military or otherwise. My girls, on the other hand, are finding it harder and harder. Of course I don't compare their sacrifice or sadness to that of others. Their sadness is their own at this point. I let them have it, I encourage them to let it out, he'll be home soon, but it sucks in the meantime.

Freckles

Freckles on her cheek
so close they are almost one
I can't stop staring

Another Haiku

My child writes a song
a lot of contemplation
eyes close in deep thought

My Roses and Haiku

A blog friend of mine writes Haiku everyday. How cool is that? She has a blog dedicated to it; My Year in Haiku. Every time I stop by and peruse her blog, I spend hours thinking in Haiku. So, that is the inspiration for today's post.

Roses in full bloom.
Spared by hungry gypsy moths
this year. I revel.
