Haiku

[bobsvinyl]

Flakes dancing downward
Light as winter's crystal air
Until you shovel.

 

[MuseChaser]

Flurries continue.
Will go out and shovel soon.
Now? Procrastinate.

Golden Years

Arother year gone
Wrinkles spread like cracks in glass.
A life accessed.

JournEE

The Quest never stops;
So much new always to learn.
Grateful for the help.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes!

The big 71 today. My wife and daughter have a big party planned for late afternoon. 4 of my kids are coming along with their SOs and our three grandkids plus a few other assorted guests.

My daughter is making sweet and sour meatballs and my wife is doing 2 crockpots of barbecued pork ribs. Sides will be rice and corn on the cob. 2 cakes for dessert plus ice cream. My youngest son's birthday is March 9th so we combine our parties. I'm already being overwhelmed by the smell of the crockpots. I'll put pictures in the Show Us Your Dinner thread.

No thrifting today, but on Tuesday I'm going on a road trip with my buddy, Ronnie the Recluse. I hope you all have a great day!

@bobsvinyl Happy Birthday!

Bob's big day burgeons!
Smells of crock Q, corn and rice.
A good thrift draws nigh.

Final track ended
Next record soon to slam down

SAILING

Tall white sails flapping
catching Nature's heavy breath
slicing through wet crests.

SAILING

Hours of boredom
Interrupted by moments
Of abject terror

FLYING

Hours of boredom
Interrupted by moments
Of abject terror

Home

Ah, Peace and Quiet!
Safe, secure, warm, and content.
Must fly or sail soon.

Needs to get out more;
Way too complimentary.
A true gentleman.

Sputtering brain synapses

That Haiku could EASILY have many different names as a title, starting with mine!

Flutter

Quail pair in my yard
Startled into rapid flight
Are chicks hiding there?

This haiku does capture the essence of "Sailing", as it can transverse the no wind situation to the hold on for dear life in a storm event!

Most viewers tend to focus on the former idyllic side of this sport.

INSIGHT

Premonition trait
suggesting hidden talents
to unearth unknowns.

WATERFALL

Powerful tumbling
force of nature, creating
both sound and fury!

Man's Best Friend

Cold, wet nose snorting
Smelling food scent on fingers
Hoping for a share.

A Feline's 9th Life

Stealthy sneaking up
Pounce and chew the Christmas lights
Plumes of smoke and fur.

Both evoking the senses.

Nice appeals!
