Disconnected Connections

I spent the majority of yesterday (8 hours or so) on the highway driving. Today has been a day of physical rest while a friend of mine has done some much needed work on my poor over-driven van. My creativity today has come in small, disconnected bursts that are only connected by the thread of form. Here are some randomly themed haiku from today’s musings:

#1

People of Wal-Mart

aren’t dressed to be seen outside

their own bedroom walls.

#2

Bumper to bumper

five o’clock Friday traffic

gives me a headache.

#3

A mood disorder

is not hard to understand

if you keep guessing.

#4

Drive belt replacement

is an expensive repair

for over-used vans.

#5

Girl friends are a gift

that can only be opened

with a loving heart.

 #6

The familiar smell

of my childhood was captured

in vapor rub tissue.

#7

Fat tabby cat in

North Carolina red clay,

perfect camouflage.

#8

Clean, country living

made perfect by the lack of

strong cell phone signal.

#9

Marry who you want

but love that person with all

the love in your heart.

#10

Great meals are prepared

in someone else’s kitchen

and cleaned up there, too.

Cello Haikus

**Clearly, my listening habits of late are bleeding over into my writing. Here’s hoping there are other cello lovers out there!

Classical cello

has a soothing and mellow

tone that calms the soul.

Metal cello rocks,

Making the heart race, building

to an ear-gasm!

Belief Haiku series

I can’t believe that
I never allowed myself
To feel special again.

I believe he robbed
Me of my childhood wishes,
My dreams of dancing.

I can’t believe that
It took me this long to learn
To feel special again.

I believe my dreams
Are stronger than his abuse.
I’m a survivor.

I can’t believe that
Dancing is the only way
To live out my dreams.

I believe that I
Have the gift of creation.
My new dream starts now.
