Naval vessels roam

The cerulean seas, and

I… Well, I just sleep

 

Enjoying the breeze,

Basking in radiant light.

Spring in New Jersey

 

Hey Mr DJ

It's like ridin' on the wind

I like to boogie

 

Graham crackers and tape

Batman shirt and monster shoes

Living a kid’s life

 

 

Look up at the sky

We’re burning neon lights

Running out of time

 

Driving in my car

Jamming to funky tunes

Out of my way, yo

 

It’s a fresh new day

Lost causes of yesterday?

Frets? Only onwards

 

A new star is born

Dreams for her to reach the top?

Lead by example

 

Walk, walk, walk so slow

Cannot humans fly o'er so?

Poor humans, so slow!

 

Underlining eyes

Eyelids float quietly still

Two p. -yawn- m. Lull

 

Memorial Day

Time to relax and indulge

Modern Family

 

Kid, I’ve wanted to

Blacken your eye all year, but

Plan to keep teaching

No sharps and no flats

In Symphony No. 6

Little C Major

 

Rain for an hour

Then sunshine burns through again

Florida weather

 

From rags to riches

She kept on singing that song

’Til she moved beyond

 

Hide under tables

I hear Momzilla coming

Quick! Grab me a drink

 

Work hard and no play

At least we get the money

I cannot complain

 

 

 

Cinco de mayo

Carnita quesadilla

Breakfast burrito

 

Swim little ducky

Riverboat charging at you

Narrow escape, phew

 

Creamy milky eggs

Sweet burnt sugary topped flan

Cinco de Mayo!

 

Bus back home is slow

Silent music in most seats

Too sunny too hot

 

Melancholy song

Ballad moves my work along

Resonates with me

 

Live with a roommate

Or find a place to myself?

A hard decision

 

B.M.W.

Merge behind where there is space

And smoking kills dude

 

For my first haiku

I wanted to be clever

Still working on it
