Tag: haiku

Met a really cool guy today. A former Navy nuclear power program sailor, just like me. Though he is quite a bit younger.
Swapped stories of our respective experiences, which I enjoyed. Yet I often worry in those moments that I’ll become like the subject of Bruce Springsteen’s “Glory Days”, a relic, trapped in the past. Grave fate, for me, at least.

Tonight’s Haiku: March 5, 2020
star filled night
reaching heavenwards
caressing God’s face

weathered and worn by life
a cold biting wind
A Rainy Day Haiku
rain induced darkness
overhead clouds bring dampness
winter’s grip still hurts
