Haiku for every day of May 2022

Haiku for every day of May 2022

 May 1

Russian tanks rumbling

Young girls dancing round a pole

Sound the distress call

 

May 2

we could be camping

toting our luggable loo

join George at Muleshoe

All seven of us

Greg cooked steaks, our retreat group

Met one month later

Get a little sleep

Play hard with Jasper all day

Go to sleep again!

 

May 5

Make it together

Just about our fav’rite meal:

Liver and onions

Sweet air this morning

Later might be 95

Do our walking now

 

May 7

What else can you say?

Rich Strike came out of the dust

He flew by them all (2022 Kentucky Derby)

 

May 8

Mothers look up, smile!

Your kids? Not here without YOU …

Take some time and rest

 

May 9

Rolling down the track

Jasper takes the train downtown

To Austin Fire 1

 

May 10

100’s hit Texas,

Huge fire, New Mexico

Dry winds, no rain, hot!

 

 

May 11

ACS Chapel

We’re all there to cheer him on

Miles’ recitiva

 

May 12

Dr. Chang listens

Margaret tries to explain

We leave, feel happy

 

May 13

Eat, tv, puzzle

Soccer, farmers market, sing

Conversation dates

 

May 14

Dates, all kinds, for us

No need to fly through the sky

We’d like more of this

 

May 15

Empty Nesters’ meal

Great talk time with Jim Wallin

His left ear works best!

 

 

May 16

Jasper –  cookies, swim

Panettone French toast for George

sleep all afternoon

Che bello, Reale’s

Italia eats in Austin

With Charlie, Tina

 

May 18

Planning comes to fruit

Port Aransas tomorrow

House so near the beach!

 

May 19

Goliad – blood runs

Wars neutered by history

Still – many gravestones

 

May 20

White beach, pier, strong waves

Quiet crashing, never ends

Five hundred three years (since 1519 heard by white men)

 

 

May 21

This golf cart is old!

Bouncing up and down the street

One hour – just right

 

May 22

Sea turtles, snakes, sharks

Caught for our education

Do they look willing?

 

May 23

Back from the Gulf coast

Just two days, we’re off again

Closed eyes, catch my breath

 

May 24

Just a little break

Rains lash the walls of our house

But I’m dry inside

 

May 25

Off to Urbana

There’s so much for us to do

Say goodbye, hello

 

May 26

In the beginning

Fear falls from trees, autumn leaves

Strong wind, life flies by

 

May 27

Chris Sandel’s porch – birds

Every one is somewhere else

I love the quiet

 

May 28

Goin’ to the zoo

Zoo, zoo, how about you, you

Feed goats, eagles watch

 

May 29

Vineyard this morning

Quiet preacher, rocking band

It still looks the same

 

May 30

Slept on office couch

Miles, Jasper trimmed the trees

They got me going

 

May 31           

Evansville this time

We are all getting tired

Needing lots of naps
