A Poet’s Response To “Houston Dad Handles Bully Beautifully”

This haiku came to me after reading “Houston Dad Handles Bully Beautifully“.

When facing evil 

Focusing fully on grace 

Always seek to grow 

Grace can accomplish many great things, as it requires courage to step forward in such a way.  

Siouxsie and the Banshees: A Haiku

I hear Siouxsie Sioux
Burning ash and destruction
Cities in the dust

The music of the 80s speaks to me. So many memories, pain and joy, anguish and exaltation.

We love to quarrel so

We love to quarrel

Satisfied with petty spite

Yet the sun will rise

Seeking Growth

With deepest rigor

I am always seeking growth

Autumn leaves still fall

Autocorrected Annoyances

A Trip To Whidbey Island: A Haiku

A morning journey 

Off to the nearby island 

With people I love 

Spent the morning over in Whidbey Island watching a cross country regional competition. I’ve known many of these kids their whole lives, so there a certain poignancy.

Looking nightward

Nighttime Dominates: An Evening Haiku 

Nighttime dominates

Sleep continues its demands 

I cannot resist 

In today’s cold fog: a haiku

In today’s cold fog

Sunlight never reached the ground 

Winter approaches 

Year’s Cold Edge 



I feel fear’s cold edge 

Darkness descending early 

Wearing my wool clothes 

Autumn’s presence now permeates the air. Leaves fall with vigor.
