June’s regular heat wave has been amplified by both infuriating current events and my personal heated conflicts. I think this odd batch of Haiku reflects these boiled-over emotions. Please let me know if one resonates with you.

Nice work! The third from the top grabs me, it reminds me of the three divorces behind me. They are now like terrible storms or hurricanes receding from my view as time moves forward.

Thank you, John. Yes…is there such a thing as an unstormy relationship? I’ve yet to experience one…

There may be, K, but after three divorces I still haven’t found one. I fully admit to having my part in the problems but not responsible all of them… 😂 Haven’t even dated since 2016…

Less stormy now then, eh? I’m rapidly learning how much I enjoy being alone. Never would have thought that a few years back.

Frankly, I have been far happier since 2016 and the last fiasco ended. Single life is a great life, but it can be lonely at times. A woman in my life again would be wonderful, but she has to understand that there will be no marriage, no access to my money either. my rules have built a fine wall, haven’t they? 😂

Terrific selection – I like how the imagery intrigues – ‘couch cushions away’ is my fave – which undoes (in a good way) the two previous lines, so I have to reread (also in a good way).

Thank you. It’s that sort of separate feeling that you can’t make up. I truly appreciate you reading my poems.

“Dusk’s dream catcher trees
cast a web of inkblot leaves
to catch my next plot.” When I am under more stress and have more anxiety, I dream wildly, which your poem reminds me of. Reflecting upon my emotional state right now through your words is a gift. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us, K. 💜

I keep a paper and pen by the bed but often what I scribble seems nonsensical later. I enjoy hearing about dreams, and now my children have fresh crops to share as well. Thanks for reading these, Jeff.

Ah, yes, I completely understand. I don’t write much right after awakening, yet, as you and I have discussed, it always seems to drop in later, even while driving. It’s always my pleasure, K.

I love them all, but the “pale moon” and “dusk catcher” the second and last poems I really can relate to how I feel at times! Beautiful poems! 🙏💕 Take care, my friend!

Such a huge grin hearing this. Thank you, Marion. I like the reflection of haiku and the way it helps me to really flush the day out.
