Haiku for May 2020

MAY 2020

Haikus every day:

 

May 1

Small celebrations

April still slips into May

Raise the roof and smile

 

May 2

Chickens sweat it out

Blue sky warm sun quiet day

Jesus, fill my soul

 

May 3

Mom’s mother’s day gift

Essential oils necklace

But chain broke too soon 

 

Aly’s birthday: eight

FaceTime stories – bike crash, park

Hunt, friend’s pinata

 

May 4

Good day to putter

Get space ready for Marc’s work

Have to make a plan

 

May 5

Two male rose-breasted

Grosbeaks eat together, and then

Scorch the air and fight!

 

May 6

Marc/Myr, clean gutters

We work outside together

Sweet home family

 

May 7

Ate too much today

Sun, birds, work with M & M

This week’s Saturday

 

May 8

 

Friend healed from virus

Antibodies growing strong

Can I get a hug?

 

May 9

Ice cream with grandkids

Even if we can’t give hugs

Smiles for Mother’s Day

 

May 10

Brrr cold, wind, ugly

This? Fifth Sunday of Easter?

Just take a long nap

 

May 11

Brent. Truck. Home Depot.

Hooray. Got our lattice home

Gazebo’s new roof

 

May 12

Our hedge now trimmed smooth

Marc knows how to cut green hair

Learning on the job

 

May 13

Stacey! Help! Blog looks wrong

Where did my italics go?

We get chance to talk

 

May 14

This one is from Dan Frachey:

Known by many names

Author, counselor … I like

Jolly grandpa man

 

And I responded:

 

Ha! Jolly haiku

Brings a smile to grandpa’s face

Dan’s chiara song

 

May 15

Nice outside all day

I move sand, reset red bricks

Smooth out place to sit

 

May 16

Puttering is one thing

Move listless is another

Today I’m have dead

 

May 17

Rain all day, Lincoln

Trip, see Mom, sit up straight, breathe

Be patient with my self

 

May 18

Too much food? Shut up!

Too much mess? Count your blessings!

Don’t be stupid!

 

May 19

Morning, folded hands,

Close my eyes: “Come Lord Jesus,

Hold me, be my guest.”

 

May 20

Alone, I sit, think

With Marc/Myr so much gets done

Just do it right now!

 

May 21

Read write listen pray

Rhythm for every day

Sacred, divine song

 

May 22

Marc and I built gate,

Cover for hen’s nesting box,

And a little shelf

 

May 23

My first smoked pork butt

Low heat, smoke, two twenty five

Gas grill, hot day, sun! (and 12 hours!)

 

Seventh Sunday of Easter, May 24, 2020

Writing these in church

Always during the sermon

I love that rhythm

 

First smoked ribs gas grill

Five hours this time, better

Even than the butt!

 

May 25

Writing at home, not

Church? But spirit and truth

Travel light and free

 

May 26

Webcams came today

We can show ourselves and smile

All the world to see

 

May 27

co-vid 19 test

Margaret does not have it

Hope she stays that way

 

 

May 28

We have done so much

There is still so much to do

Time, we fly away

 

May 29

Paint, mow, trim, rest, romp

Tuna fresh from Asian seas

Another picnic (with Marc & Myranda)

 

May 30

With Marc, fence is done!

Our loggia, garden home

Chickens, only look!

 

May 31 (Sunday of Pentecost)

Lord in your mercy

Let the Spirit wind blow free

Please hear our prayer
