Some Day

“Some day

you will be

old enough

to start reading

fairy tales again.”

.

~ C. S. Lewis

hiccup

rough bump

unplanned side trip

off the straight course

setback

Haiku:

beautiful image

Creator’s best camouflage

colors few can see

Poem:

.

quiet the noisy mind
try to become a member of human kind
ignore the noises made by the resident rodent
running on a squeaky wheel every moment

forget the echoes of people putting you down
you look like a scary sad sack clown
you’re nothing but a useless bum
slimy and smelly like pond scum

hear it often enough and you start to believe
you have become your mother-in-laws pet peeve
negativity lives in that perverted warped brain
lucid times when you think you’re going insane

thinking contorted by mind altering drugs
itchy, crawlies caused by giant bed bugs
been there, done that, wear the tie dyed shirt
the lucky become a spiritual convert

learn to think of others, not just yourself
guidance from above leads to healthy self-help
praying to your God with a contrite heart
this is always a good way to start

too short.

Start

with Dessert!”

start

first course

but who counts

glad to be here

end

Tanka:             5-7-5, 7-7

planning tomorrow

trying not to make God laugh

learning the lesson

lucky is being prepared

to meet opportunity

.

Poem:

.

dreaming of things that will never be
people, places and riches that I will never see
positions of power that I could never achieve
feats of glory that no one would ever believe

always content to just be little old me
enjoying a life that is simple, carefree
almost on the verge of being complacent
doing my best to try everyone’s patience

if the questions wrong there is no answer
like why is hate such a ruinous cancer
the right question is who do you love
the answer should be everyone and God above

deliberately avoiding any philosophy
friends are those who share in honesty
enjoying the Creators grand design
sunrise, sunset, every one a beautiful shrine

both young and old go forth to seek peace
may your love of mankind never cease
