Why Haiku (Haiku)


My haiku distills
Much of my philosophy
It is so concise

The Inner Voice (Haiku)


Some use radio
To quiet the inner voice
Keeping it away

That's fine for the car
But not for moving events
Any performance

Pesky inner voice
Gets in the way of movement
When body knows best

Intellectual
Too slow for complex movement
Causes us to err

With that voice turned off
Anxiety slips away
When moving or not

My mantra for me
The radio can't be on
At opportune times

Spring in Kentucky (Haiku)



It;s that time of year
Flowers and trees are blooming
This is Kentucky

Finding the Truth (Haiku)


Truth is here for us
Finding it is the struggle
It is up to us

There are many steps
On the stairway to heaven
Some are stuck on one

Some go one by one
Others take two at a time
A lifetime too short

Once it is achieved
We can possibly move on
To higher levels

The Little Screen (Haiku)


Images now real
Preset packaged and rehearsed
We expect perfect

Reality's not
It's always less than perfect
We prefer perfect

So we watch our screens
While life is passing us by
Seeing perfection

Tolerate the real
Enjoy perfect images
Escape to the screen

Spontaneity
Sacrificed for perfection
It's artificial!

On Cooks (Haiku)


The only thing worse
Than a bad cook is one who
Thinks she's a good cook
