Random thoughts and stories, maybe even the occasional photo.

prosperity
until the seam runs out
families moving on

time to surrender
to  doctors ...
chest pains

emergency room chatter
white coats come and go
ah, heated blankets
It was a false alarm, fortunately.  No problems were found, but an ambulance ride in the wee hours and 12 hours in the emergency room can't be counted as fun.

I have not posted the first haiku anywhere, but it was written in response to the prompt surrender.  The second one was posted today on the NaHaiWriMo page in response to the prompt heat.

sculpted by waves
polished by wind
art at my feet

Posted on NaHaiWriMo's Facebook page, 8/21/2012.  Prompt was driftwood.

a painted rock
a gift from a child
gone now

Prompt was forgotten things.  

Of course neither the child (my son--he's an adult now) nor the painted rock (a paper weight and a birthday gift) have been forgotten.  But the child is grown, and the paper weight must have been left behind sometime, for I can't find it.

thunk!
book drops ...
surrender to sleep
Posted to NaHaiWriMo on Facebook, 8/20/2012.  Prompt was surrender.  This one happens to me so often.  I blame the books.  ;-)
