saturday stare #9

“mommy………daddy………”

blue eyes stare straight on

prepared to see and be seen

so doggedly………..cute

*a note from Issi’s biographer: the second line of the haiku is interchangeable with the following options:

her tumtum yearns for chow chow

the daily vroom vroom awaits

ready for a special treat

dressed to impress the boyfriends

angels

an angel above Paris

then, now…….for always

a silent omnipresence

sight of grace rings hope

a winter remedy

warm heart wrapped in hope

humor mixed with tolerance

winter survival

back at it……..

Des Plaines River Trail

free of the vortex

trekking beside phantom tracks

joy of snowshoeing

Luna’s lullaby

cradled by moonbeams

turning pages of a dream

swaddled in slumber

~ inner fire ~

each burning brighter

aspiring to go farther

goals are limitless

the quints

~ ~ ~ between my house and the trail ~ ~ ~

strength and elegance

guardians poised to protect

a silent presence

a walk with P

 

an autumn walk

 

embraced by friendship

kissed by possibility

future is boundless

onward young man…

…

many miles ahead…

dreams waiting to be embraced…

grab the wheel and drive…

…

…

the day before he hit the open road…

An update on my son who resembles a yeti:

The ‘guy’ and two gals have been hanging out in CO…hiking, site seeing, exploring the Rocky Mountains, Boulder, Denver, Four Corners, Flagstaff…tomorrow they will be driving to the City of Angels.
