Haiku: Confidence

Confidence is so
Elusive when you always
Fall short of your goals.

Haiku: Postcard

I missed the deadline,
You can fail me for the week.
Nevertheless, here:

1.
Pretty postcards show
What fun things I've been doing
Because you ar'n't here.

2.
The last thing she sent:
A postcard from Hawaii.
Then she disappeared.

3.
"With all of my heart:"
The last words she wrote before
She left forever.

Fishing

My first cast hit the water with a lame plunk, hardly worthy of the effort I’d made. Dad just said, “Try again.” Eventually I caught something tiny, but judging by his excitement it may as well have been a whale.

I still see his smile when I fish now, with or without my own kids.

FFF-55, Vol. XXXVIII? Tell a story in exactly 55 words. Go see G-Man. Dedicated to my dad on what would be his 39th Father's Day. 

Haiku: Freestyle

A trifecta:

1.
Going where I please
Is the finest way to hike.
To hell with the map!

2.
Creativity:
Coloring outside the lines
Lets out the passion.

3.
Freestyling full speed,
Throwing all the rules aside.
Why? DISCOVERY.
