Song Haiku

Water slowly moves
oblivious passengers
"gently down the stream"

"A heartbeat away,"
My father said that this song
brought back a dead friend

There is not one song
that I know all the words to
I realized today

We are in this world
to follow the song of G-d
and to sing our own

Some days are jazzy,
other ones are rock and roll-
sometimes they're the blues

In some languages
poems and songs share one name
But not in English

"I shall sing my song,"
are lyrics of a song
that resonate for me

Maybe my ear aches
come from all of the ear worms
playing in my head

People enjoy songs;
poetic compositions
are another thing

Lilting Jill Sobule
sings, "Having a better day,"
dovetailing my thoughts

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

"Fly like an eagle,"
Steve Miller's band sings-
And I will- one day

"When will our eyes meet?"
Barry Manilow once sang
Once when we were young

HaikuHorizon's prompt this week is "song"

Rorschach tests abide
in everything around us
Our life's an ink blott

Three dots are jumping

When will my friend answer me?

Waiting for Facebook

Like a link heaven

a haiku and blog filled post

windows of wonder

Burning out its time,

And timing its own burning,

One lonely candle.

685-686 - Women Like Men

They love macho men
who are also sensitive.
Like men, women dream.

We love the beauties
who are also well balanced
Like women, men dream.

683-684

Distressed feeling of
painful humiliation:
a sad legacy

Parents voices can
live on inside of your head
and make you ashamed

Fair Haiku 678-682

Life is like a fair
we do and get what we can
before the day's done.

This game we call "Life"
is truly named "It's Not Fair"
so you can't complain.

When we agree on
what's acceptable and right
then we claim it's fair.

What is fair and square?
Why is square the metaphor?
Fair can be all shapes.

Grouch said that if
you can fake dealing fairly
then you've got it made.

675 - 677

Going out the door
As always I'm wanting more
And also grateful

How could others be
thinking about me as much
as I think they are?

Mother's Day Express
Is what this bus should be called
It smells from flowers

674

It is my self talk
that plays a most major role
in my joy and fear

why do things exist?
because G-d said so, that's why
even the bad stuff

672

Saying "I'm busy,"
Feeling pressured all the time
May be about fear

Thank you Nicole Krause

for teaching me that "and yet"

is a full sentence
