Haiku for every day of July 2023

July 1

Here we are, let’s talk

Heat the water, make some tea

Open gentle ears

On a post-it note

Armando writes Rule of Life:

“I’ll be kind, give thanks.”

Fishing? Well, that too, of course

Where can we buy worms?

Watermelon, fireworks

That blow up my ears!

Pick project, start 10 pm

Don’t stop – too much fun

For sure, I will not blame him

God gives when I give

See Indiana Jones

Milkshakes afterwards

Hold us, we need you

As the world goes, so go we

Catch us, turn us back

I could walk the Brooklyn Bridge

With Marc … couldn’t I?

The sky is so thin

Sun pours through the atmosphere (109 degrees)

Loud songs, jumping up and down

Just now and then – peace

What a joy – hot dogs, toys, nap

And watermelon

Many friends at church

Want to know how I’m doing:

Long build-up, then wait
