I have been sneezing up to 15 times in a row. Yes I count them, they feel a little like a seizmic event. Big harsh ugly sneezes that rattle my bones. So why not interject a little humor in the experience? I am sure at some point in time you can relate!
Haiku: three lines with a 5-7-5 syllable construction. I took liberties with the haiku as the theme is related to nature!
I find that the simple little songs have the most impact on me. The first time I heard this little tune from the movie Tangled I was completely hooked. Both its haunting tune and lyrics seemed to call out the story of my life.
The recording is mine, done on a simple computer with a basic app and a simple microphone. I love to sing but “fate” did not allow me to pursue it. Well, it did for a short time while I had cancer a number of years ago but then I was stupid and tried to push my range too far too fast and injured it pretty good– and then gave up as I always do. While I was in training, I was told my a number of music professionals that I had the best natural tone they had ever heard. But pursuing an art isnt just about skill. It is mostly perseverence and time.
That being said, this song suits my voice pretty well although I dont have a strong voice in lower key, but even still its simplicity makes us a good match. The more I sing this the more I realize what genius is packed into 50 seconds.
As icy rain falls and clouds collide
Visibility disappears in the frozen fog
Temperatures, now negative on the Farmer’s log….
Depression’s chill seeps deep inside
******************************
Deep blanketed coverings warm my body well
Darjeeling steeped to the third degree
A smile, priceless, when once so free
Nothing warms this mad winter spell
********************************
With bleak eyed, blank-walled stare
my IQ is suspended as I “rain on my own parade.”
Zombie like, a death walk through the shadow glade
and my armor of cheer, stripped bare.

For those affected by the weather sunny skies will come again.
Haiku: three line stanza in a 5-7-5 syllabic structure. The theme is generally related to nature.
Static state of mind
“Have to” must equal “want to”
Make time to just “be”

Peaceful mindfulness
Synchronous with values
Seek quiet moments

I am working on mindfulness and these reflective words encouraged me. I hope they do the same to you.
Senryu: same as Haiku structure but the theme is generally related to relationships or feelings while Haiku stresses nature
Life cut short, I mourn
your rejection of His Grace.
Saturating tears
**************
Hell’s fire, treasure yours
Hindsight seizes inner thoughts:
Could I have said more?
***************
Witnessed chance now lost
Those hesitant moments passed!
Your soul the true cost

I have periods where I feel terrible about my poor witness for my faith. Lost souls haunt me and I feel the burden. This poem was an attempt to creatively share that burden with others who may feel the same way.
