Haiku for every day of November

Haiku for every day of November

 

Sunday, November 1

Can we stretch our wings?

Look at all we haven’t done

But we need to wait

 

November 2

Trees will shed their leaves

And wait, sentinels till spring

Skeletons stand strong

 

November 3

Plans might go awry

But God shows us how to change

Relax no – No Fear

 

November 4

Sunflower seeds, and

Birds sing outside our window

Sing, and fly away …

 

November 5

November, big month

For birthdays, our Austin move …

Let the sun shine on

 

November 6

We sang over phone

Happy birthday to Aki

I could see him smile

 

November 7

Can I get witness?

Saturday fall colors climb

Into the blue sky

 

Sunday, November 8

At last, in-person

Church, great to see our good friends

Some of them at least

 

November 9

1108

North Lincoln, Urbana, IL

Home for thirty years

 

November 10

Amish farmer’s earth

Sits through winter, waits for spring

Black dirt, owned by God

 

November 11

This is Miles’ day

He’s a Veteran right now

Born four years ago

 

November 12

Will my doctor know?

When he speaks, will I listen?

Let Healing begin

 

November 13

our backyard desert

beckons my eyes, hands and feet

do nothing. Sit still.-

 

November 14

mom loves to see us

and there is so much to do

not much visit time

 

Sunday, November 15

Skipping church again

Really it’s too easy

Darn this covid thing!

 

November 16

Beef and broccoli

A little whiskey and wine

With Marc, Myranda

 

Tuesday, November 17 (my birthday – 71 years old)

I walk a little slow

What’s 71 feel like?

One day at a time

 

November 18

Marg’s heart seems just fine

See the doctor in a year

She can sleep at night

November 19

Winter stays away

Our chickens will not complain

And neither do I!

 

November 20

Picnic with Albert

Sadness in Korea

sun peeks through the trees

 

November 21

two lane roads to Dot’s

Evansville, pic by the tree

Fun time at Clarion

 

Sunday, November 22

Starbucks, Chris and crew

Hardees biscuits just for Marg

Audubon picnic

 

November 23

Rest, relax, two naps

Close my eyes, take five deep breaths

Why not take five more?

 

November 24

Read. Write, listen, pray

My post-it note Rule of Life

There’s just no hurry

 

November 25

Got so much to do

So what? There’s still no hurry

God is ev’rywhere

 

November 26

Load Prius to gills

Just room for a cheese sandwich

Some water and me

 

November 27

Blankets of fall trees

Cover Ozark mountaintops

Once green, now dark, old

 

November 28

Spend the night at Mom’s

Austin, leave before sunrise

12 hours to Dallas

 

Sunday, November 29

morning, just in time

to see Miles before school

bouncing up and down

 

November 30

so cold in Texas

kids gave man a sleeping bag

curl up on the street
