281-282

Water slowly moves
oblivious passengers
gently down the stream

General intents
drift away misunderstood-
if you get my drift

280

Little things are big
like grains of sand in my show
endless and and ands

276-279

Seeing you drifting
more than ever in the past
makes me love you now

I drift off to sleep
the book falls out of my hands
little is as sweet

I'm feeling that song
about beats freeing your soul
via rock and roll

I'm looking for you:
If as I wander away
you can catch my drift

275

may G-d bless us all
our ghosts and our families
our demons, our gods

272-274

When I walk I sigh
and my ears pop when I fly
I stand still and cry

That song is stupid
Don't believe that you can fly
and don't hum that tune

Fly like an eagle
Steve Miller and his band sang
Maybe, one day

271

i must remember

non-stop is just a feeling

life does have pauses

268-270

It's harder to write
when I'm feeling so happy
I can live with this

I'm singing along
with an old Steely Dan song
This means I feel good

Billy Joel sings of
a bright orange pair of pants
and all is alright

267

wanting it to be
feeling great expectation 
the thing with feathers

266

May the climbers climb

out of the depth into light

may humor prevail

265

You were hard to touch
till you were vulnerable
and then you got me

264

Just keep on asking
if you feel that you have to
till you get to no

263

grateful or jealous?

it's just a mater of choice

it's not about chance

243-262: Ring Haiku (You Can Now Comment On This Blog)

"Such a good husband,"

they said, without noticing
he took off his ring

Phones no longer ring
but they take endless photos
and hail people cabs

An interesting ring
inside a cereal box
just made a kid's day

I see it as sad
My safely deposited
cancelled wedding ring

Take care with cliches
like, "Give me a ring some time."
Take care in this life

Expressions wear rings
rings of falsehood, rings of truth
See and hear them well

A ring a ding ding
Frank Sinatra used to sing-
a hard working king

Poe caught the ringing
of the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells
which ring in my head

Certain things ring true
and the ringing will not stop
until we answer

David had a ring
which was truthfully inscribed
with, "This too shall pass."

I once had a ring
with my Hebrew name on it-
My name is Natah

The name rings a bell
a funky store, long ago
I think, "Rings & Things."

Sometimes I wonder:
Were the Ringling brothers teased
about their last name?

The Olympic rings
make me think of magic tricks-
Tannen's Magic Shop

I keep on writing-
Like a boxer who just wants
to stay in the ring

"The ring is too small"
she said when they got engaged.
This did not bode well.

She gave him the ring
In the past she took it back
Now it was over.

Sometimes I flash back
I hear the front door bell ring,
Mother caught off guard.

Mother used to say,
"Don't answer on the first ring,
you seem desperate."

Tony Orlando
sang of "rings on her fingers"
in  my parents' home

These haiku were inspired by the prompt - "ring" - from Haiku Horizons.  Check out the site.

240-242

I could keep writing
but I can't ignore voices
calling me to live

What do we bank on?
I wonder outside a bank
Is it G-d I trust?

My dependency
gurgles inside my stomach
as I wait for you
