Haiku 4/26/2024

Prompt: Perhaps you should write a haiku or few today. If you desire, share them with me.

Popping in out of nowhere to share a few thoughts spare. I hope this finds you well and creating still.

I am in the sultry state of Texas and must say this Georgia Peach is unaccustomed to such 🥵 heat. Thank the blessed Lord for air-conditioning.

I am thankful:

1. There is not lots of rain since the dogs track in this awful black slurry when it does.

2. I have Kindle ebooks to read.

3. I brought shorts upon leaving on short notice.

4. I have frequent showers.

5. Food is not lacking here.

What are you thankful for today? Share it in the comments should it please you.

I can leave the house and be in Mexico within minutes. I finally have access to a vehicle in which to do so. I am not accustomed to driving in Brownsville because I have done very little of it.

Working on my phone.

I hope life is treating you well. Remember to express your ❤️ love to others as ever you may. Let yesterday be buried and tomorrow find its way, live my dear in the moment, today. God bless you and yours in every way.

Here Again, I Begin

I have been doing things and keeping busy. I am sure you have, too. I have hung out on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter much less than I once did. I find I believe Social Media is less than sociable. I am opting for more conversations by phone and meetings in person.

I have some things to share, and I hope you will be informed and interested. I have recently completed the first draft (a very rough one) of a book project I hope to finish by year’s end. I have to flesh it out, design, intensively edit, and possibly publish it. I will be updating progress here as I continue.

I have a concept cover, but it may, and likely, will change:

I am visiting my son, Alex, in Brownsville, Texas, where he works for Space X. It is a real treat seeing him daily after he spent so much time at a distance. I caught him and Maui on the beach recently:

I wrote a few journal pages today. I only have my phone to photograph them with, which is not the best input device, but I hope you can enjoy them.

Gratitude List:

I am thankful:

1. Time shared with loved ones.

2. Being alive and at least somewhat healthy. There are pains, but not so much that I cannot smile.

3. Adventures of time and space.

4. Love given and recieved.

5. Creativity in various and plentiful forms.

As a prompt: Pick something recently seen or done and create a work around it. Use whatever media you choose, then share it if you like. Your story has meaning and is important.

That is all I have for now. I hope life is treating you well. Thank you for sharing your time here on Haphazard Creative. If you found it pleasant give a like, comment, and/or share with someone you believe would find this content to their liking.

I May Be Crazy

I believe miracles
Happen every day.
Music can heal
What ails us.
Poetry is magic.
Photographs hold us
Together.
Death passes.
Writing is therapy.
Reading carries us
Where we did not
Know we needed to go.
All beings are unique.
Talking to things
Sometimes makes
Things happen.
Devices are a way
To become anything
We can dream.
We are loved
Tremendously.
Creativity brings
Love anywhere
We reach out.
Memory spills
Over forever.
God is LOVE!
Normal is not
Ever normal.
Reality is strange.
Everyone is precious.
All things are
Possible.
Impossible should
Be rejected.
We can get there
Eventually.
Heaven is real!
Perfection is
A contradiction.
Books are sacred.
Who we are
Is not set in any way,
Change is destiny.
Friends = Family –
Family = Friends.
What we are
Remains flexible.
Animals are very
Like us in many ways.
Portion control
Is a secret weapon
To supervise health.
Age is an illusion.
Hearts, minds, bodies,
Spirits and souls belong
Together in love.
Mine and yours
Can be alike
If we try.
Hate is a word
That is best
Forgotten.
The journey
Is the truth
We may find
Bringing
Understanding.
If we
Never Give Up
We can better
All our best.
Life is belonging
In love
To one another.
Tolerance is
Important.
Divisions
Should not exist.
Kindness is never
Wasted, it holds
All things in peace.
I may be crazy
But
Maybe we all are –
And that may be
The best of all worlds.

Go Ahead

Entry Eighteen – 2023 Creativity Project

Everything is hard
Even simple things challenge –
So be Miracles –
Let creativity guide,
Expect the impossible
Dream to become True;
Love beyond extreme measure,
Life, precious treasure.

Prompt: Create something that attests to the miraculous happenings occurring around and to you.

Gratitude List –
I am grateful:

1. My second mammogram cleared me and alleviated a great deal of stress.
2. I have stopped drinking diet soda which is tremendous because, since childhood, I drank them, sometimes more than a case a day.
3. I went to the grocery this week and purchased some much-needed food.
4. I am writing consistently.
5. I weigh 135 to 140 pounds.
