Good Evening and welcome to a short and sweet three for Thursday. It is just beginning to storm here so I will keep this as short as possible. Otherwise I will be knocked off-line over and over and By the time I have posted I will hate the rain and the internet and my computer. I will be saying words that will invite lightening to strike me in my nasty mouth... In order to avoid the likelihood of all this unpleasantness; I will simply share with you tonight three of my Haiku.. I will then watch the lightening from the safety of my bedroom window... No getting kicked off line.. no swearing.. no angry lightening striking me from the beautiful red sky...
~Yes I did say red sky. the sky here is red and fades to an almost lavender as it dips behind the trees across the dirt road from me.. I have never seen a sky quiet like this one... Beautiful and yet just a tiny bit UN-nerving for some reason.. birds are sitting on the ground as the winds begin to sway through the tree tops.. I have always heard that if the birds rest on the ground then a bad storm is coming your way... I am glad that I don't fear storms..... ~
Short and sweet.. Please enjoy my haiku tonight.. I hope that each of you have safety in whatever storms life may toss your way.. Have a great Night!

Run Away
copper curls rest on
a bulging backpack pillow~

Stormy Night
rain beats out a song
drumming on a hot tin roof~
frogs croak with delight

Fiery Fingers
a lit Lucifer
falls from a fumbling fist
the burned oaf gawks

We have had tornadoes in Pittsburgh this week. Pittsburgh! I hope you are well and safe...
I never understand these type of poems but I always read them think this time, I might get it. You keep posting and I will keep reading. Love you! Reuben
How are the chickens? Did they make it through all the storms? Have a great week!
askcherlock~ wow I hope everyone is ok.. it's odd to me that we never used to have tornadoes in places that now have them all the time..global warming?
Bigtime.. read them and try to get an image from the few words.. they each have a "hidden" meaning. usually they take some thought.. I thank you for reading them! I love you too!
Sunshine~ the chickens made it through fine.. they really aren't fond of rain but we do have tin over part of the pens so they can get out of the rain.. I laugh at them when the sprinklers in the bucket garden are on because they run back and forth between the turns of the sprinkler.. they have figured out the cycle..
Thanks to all who have visited me this week!
