February Haiku

2/1

I have come to learn
Mothers ride tsunami waves;
my heart’s a surfer.

2/2

The road is long, but
there’s a boy who walks with me -
his smile is worthwhile.

2/3

After a long week,
pizza, sunshine, and some wine.
At last, some pleasure.

2/4 

The mind will not still.
An itch that knows no relief;
peace - a long ways off.

2/5 

Fog lifted today.
Sunlight does a world of good;
Mind Disinfectant.

2/6

Sunset bathes the tide;
ocean waves strum salty air -
My favorite tune. 

2/7

I’ve fallen in love
with an instagram poet.
He’s like an old friend.

2/8

Civility - lost.
My faith in humanity,
it dwindles daily.

Hold fast traditions
to share a smile with the past,
Still time in my palm.

2/9

Cotton candy clouds
fairy gardens and hobbit houses;
a make-believe world

2/10

Memories haunt us;
Ghosts linger in doorways daily,
and we learn to cope.

2/11

When we laugh through tears,
eyes well as a smile curls.
There is harmony.

2/12

A book, a blanket,
cup of tea to ended the day:
a soft place to land.

2/13 

I stare at embers,
letting heat build for the day:
Fiery Spirit.

2/14

Love love love love love
Celebrate it every day.
There’s nothing more to say.

2/15

Express gratitude.
Kindness, fire in darkness,
must be acknowledged.

2/16

Finally Friday.
Survival was this week’s goal:
Mission accomplished. 

2/17

Vineyards bathed in pink.
Cotton candy clouds whisper
a red wine love song.

2/18

Is it better to 
know the familiar, or to 
be surprised by new?

2/19

Finally sunlight.
It warms my face, soul, and spirit:
REJUVENATION

2/20

When the heart explodes,
shrapnel litter the war zone;
words become weapons.

2/21

Next generation:
There is pride in the future.
We are rising up.

2/22

Some days are listless:
gray skies, drizzle, clouds hang long.
Fog in mind and air.

2/23

Laughter and sunshine
Broad smiles come so easily
Old friends unite.

2/24

Twenty-one year old
INVINCIBILITY BOY
His momma prays hard.

2/25

I count syllables
in the darkness, before dawn,
and then POOF: they’re gone.

2/26

A pen is my sword.
You’d better have a strong shield.
I drive a sharp point.

2/27

Counting again - five
Just words on a page - seven
Haiku haiku - five

2/28

There are some people
whose mere presence is healing.
Surround yourself well.

2/29

Listen to others
Learn to hear their hearts and souls
Practice empathy.
