YOU WERE BORN WITH WINGS, WHY PREFER TO CRAWL THROUGH LIFE?

Hello friends! Haikuesday will be on a month-long hiatus, but I'll still be collecting haiku for the next great edition. The title of the picture for this week is a quote by Rumi. It's not punny, but it's always in the back of my mind and it's something that I try to live by. Thank you all for your support and encouragement. Until the next edition! xx Anna

If you are in line

You can’t say you rode the bull

Vicarious life

 

A silver bangle

on my wrist reminds me that

I am fearless. Truth.

 

Don’t be coy with me

I know it was you. Ha! Thank you caller ID

 

Oh Anne with an E

Good try, but you’re no match for

the original.

 

LALA Land is full

of tinkly lights and pretty

faces; Hopes and dreams

 

 

Life finally springs;

the inhuman cold leaves us—

Godforsaken lands

 

Betting on the game

Two star players on the

field

A battle of skill

 

Oh radio gods

Why do you play Maroon 5

So excessively?

 

Two pairs of glasses

And another pair for six-

ty nine ninety frive

Now that’s a great deal

 

All those years gone by

In just a blink of an eye

Time to move on now

Aphids on petals

Mother’s day for past beauties

Orange rose flower

 

Too tired to sleep

I hear the monsters knocking

5:30 comes soon

 

Too hot to go out

It’s only getting hotter

We wanted summer

 

Screech, screech, screech, screech, screech,

Sound of the fire alarm

Finals are coming

Panoramic scene

Every day so different

Mountain sky and cloud

 

What do you call an

alligator in a vest?

Investigator!

 

Trying too hard to

keep someone alive that they

never let them live

 

Every day for weeks

Hunting the river monster

Will never give up

 

 

Anaphylaxis?

Bees  don’t bother anyone

Unless messed with first

 

No matter what the

decision I make, I will always feel guilty

 

Woof Woof Woof Woof Woof

Woof Woof Woof Woof Woof Woof Woof

Woof Woof Woof Woof Woof

 

A dim night light and

Tiny footsteps in the dark

A nice welcome home

Holidays won’t be

the same. Celebration is

done. Party’s over.

 

The coconut nut

is a big big nut. Just call

the coconut man!

 

Windy and cold nights

Darkness and only one light

My computer screen

 

Watermelon beer

A fruity fermentation

Ooo so hot right now

What is this feeling?

It’s even inside my bones

It draws me to you

 

Why pistachios?

Are there always some uncracked?

Nature’s mystery.

 

Am I a human?

Or am I a tiger shark?

Contemplating life

 

Three thousand miles and

hours of  karaoke

I’m finally home

 

Jazz fest is the best

Sound fills my soul so I glow

Music therapy

 

Wheels lift off the ground

and I see clouds all around

Hello other side

 

Riding on the van

Thud thud thud goes the wheelie

Stuck on the 4-0-5

 

Birds and wind are loud

Butterflies in the garden

Tasty blueberries

 

Why does she come to

me so clearly in the bath

Does she remember

 

 

Quality of voice

His lyrics do not meet it

Bruno do better

 

Curious George

Ge-orge is two syllables

George George George George George

 

My one regret in

life so far is that I should

have held you tighter

 

Never did I think

That the sun would hide its face

For so many days
