Haiku, poems, and stories

Random thoughts and stories, maybe even the occasional photo.

Posted last summer

land sweeps by in the
summer sunshine --
wind blows the cobwebs
away

Earlier this year ...

white stones in the summer sun ...
row on row, so many names

Memories of a visit to Stones River National Battlefield, Tennessee.

summer
in an octopus's garden ...
a yellow submarine
Posted on FB's NaHaiWriMo page, August 27, 2012, in response to the prompt Beatles' songs.  A number of good haiku were posted in response to that prompt.  While I  like the Beatles' music, I don't know it well enough.  Some of the people posting clearly know all the songs and all the words.  Born later ...  :-)

Posted on FB's NaHaiWriMo page, August 25, 2012, in response to the prompt, summer childhood memories

We lived next door to a yacht club.  We weren't the yachting types;  we didn't own a yacht.  But they ran a sailing school each summer and my parents thought it a good idea to enroll my sister and me.  I guess the club thought it a good idea to let the neighbors join.  I spent my summers on the dock, in the water, and in small sail boats.  It was a wonderful way to grow up!
