Composing haikus
Is as easy as breathing
For seasoned writers
Add two lines with seven beats,
and you have made a tanka

Shedding life’s crutches
Empowers everyone
To live their best life
Shining in your very best
Embracing your special self.

Green fragrant pine trees
Atop a fresh earthy scent
The mountains beckon
All for your exploration
Many adventures await.

I know you did it
Seeing the grin on your face
It gives you away
No trying to deny it
You are guilty of something.

Some intelligence
Would make all the difference
In a cruel hard world
Things are getting dumbed down now.
Idiocracy follows.

Think well of others
Kindness doesn’t cost a thing
In our lives grand scheme
Selflessness goes a long way
To be more than just oneself.
AAA/MAD 12/26/24

It’s ok to cry
Let all of those feelings out
We are all human
Let all the emotions flow
As you heal and grow anew.
AAA/MAD 12/26/24

Time is infinite
As the seconds all add up
Present becomes past
The past is forever gone
Minute moments mean much more.

OVEREAT
INDULGE
BLOATED

It’s that time of year again
when we indulge in foods
we only have once a year,
often overeating and feeling bloated
But through it all,
Having family nearby makes up for it.

Increasing the sum,
A new part added in full,
Completing the whole.
Math is similar to real life
when you add to yourself,
you become whole.
MAD

To hone and refine,
Edges made keen and precise,
Sharpen to improve.
Keep moving forward, grow strong.
Be the best you that you can.

Here is one of my latest drawings. I see her as a girl who is ready to party.

Merry Christmas, everyone. Carol Anne and I collaborated to create this double haiku. I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Silent snowfall drifts,
Joy and laughter fill the air,
Christmas day is here.
Warm fires crackle bright,
Families gather around,
Love’s light shines so clear.
Carol Anne/MAD

In the light of laughter,
We share our dreams and fun,
With every voice together,
We’re never truly done.
Through bright days and dark nights,
We stand side by side,
In this place of comfort,
Our hearts open wide.
So let our voices carry,
In friendship’s warm embrace,
In the heart of our sweet home,
We all have a place.
MAD

Sounds in the air,
Bringing smiles and cheer,
A song that’s easy to share.
Under the big, bright sky,
Laughter all around,
With friends, we just fly.
Moments that feel nice,
Colors all around,
Everything feels just right.
As the sun sinks low,
Those happy sounds stay here,
A joy that always glows.
