Katmai National Park 4

Imaginary
Smokey blue land far away
Distant mountains sing

Katmai National Park 3

Fog covered river
Eerily mysterious
Deserted beauty

Katmai National Park 2

Purple skies hover
Over the blue mountain peaks
Breathless in beauty

Katmai National Park 1

I have been watching explore.org's bear webcams a lot. They bring me peace and also excitement. The beauty at Katmai National Park is amazing. It has been forever since I have been inspired to write any haiku at all. I just wrote three. Not my best effort, but I am so happy that I got to write any at all! The accompanying pictures are snaps taken from the explore.org webcams at Katmai. 

Purple mountain peaks
Draped over green lake forest
Abundant with peace

Trees

The other day I wrote a short essay on trees.
This set of Haikus was inspired by my essay.
It is really beautiful, I will include the link to my
other blog at the end of this set of Haikus.
I love them both. I hope you do too.

Winter Tree

Tree pregnant with life
Sap coursing through her body
Preparing for birth.


Spring Tree

Tree bursting forth with
Tiny spring green buds of life
Delicate beauty.


Summer Tree

Tall majestic tree
Wearing her finest green leaves
Home for all creatures.


Autumn Tree

Wearing her colors
Proudly finishing her job
The tree sleeps again.


Here is a link to my Trees essay on my other blog.

Telephone + Tell A Phone = Smart Phone!

Telephone  + Tell A Phone = Smart Phone!

All day long we talk
And tell a phone all we know
Now its  called smart phone

Lady and the Tramp

Lady and the Tramp
Monumental love story
In Tony's Cafe

In Tony's Cafe
Sharing spagetti for two
Eyes meet as snouts touch

Eyes meet as snouts touch
True love has been awakened
Sweet happy endings

Bits of ME

Bits of ME

Poetry is mine
Words cascade forth from my mind
Preserve bits of ME
 
Preserve bits of ME
Don't want to be forgotten
Like I never lived

Like I never lived
Never felt cared for enough
I never mattered
 
I never mattered
Could not please people enough
Destructed ego

Destructed ego
Myself broken. Into bits
Preserve bits of ME

Bitter Pills

Chewing in my sleep
Oh the nasty bitter pills
Croissant preferable 

Alive and Free

Dreaming of croissant
 Alive and free in my dreams
Chewing in my sleep

Revolution

Ducks quack hungrily
Bread is gone, revolution!
Let them eat croissant..

Hungry Ducks

Down by the river
Napping on a plaid blanket 
Ducks quack hungrily

 

Peanuts and Cider

Picnic lunch for us
Peanuts and apple cider
Down by the river

By the River

Ducks and swans by the
River getting fed bread crumbs
Picnic lunch for us



 

Croissant

Eating a croissant
Under the Eiffel Tower
Mona Lisa smile

 

Emotions

I Wake up crying
Then get excited about
Eating a croissant

 

Nerves

I'm trying not to
jump out of my skin because
I'm not a reptile

Ativan

I tried baklava
as my ativan but it
didn't work for me

Sure tasted yummy though.

Early Morn

Silence of the night
Broken by sounds of the world
Beginning it's day

Pillow Fight

Feather hurricane
Swirling here there everywhere
Now an empty case
