Haiku Heights: The Best of Us

When we're together
We are the best we can be
nothing else matters

When we're together
We have never been safer
nothing else matters

When we're together 
We have never laughed harder
nothing else matters


When we're together
We know what love really is
nothing else matters

When we're together 
We are right where we belong
nothing else matters


I love you baby - nothing else matters

Carpe Diem: Cancer

This is my sign

Cancer the Crab - 69

Cancer is the Crab

soft shell are hard to get this

far from the ocean.

I can think of a 

better use of 69

than my horoscope

Hard outer shell but

soft and delicate inside

likes buttering up

Crabby paddy is
a treat for Sponge Bob Square Pants
too much kids TV

Too much kids TV
wears away at my patience
and makes me crabby

Chemotherapy
blasting away at cancer
live to fight again.

Seafood, sex, disease
personality, TV
stick a fork in crab

Carpe Diem - Pine Tree

This is my first try at Carpe Diem. I am usually very humorous in my Haiku writing but this site seems traditional. So I thought I would follow and see what I can learn. The prompt is Pine Tree. My take on the pine tree may be a little different. In my area the pine stands are devastated by the Pine Beetle and our Forests are in a state of decay.

Suffering pine tree

 beetle attacking unchecked

global warming myth?

Global warming myth?

insults my friend the pine tree

hide beneath a lie

Pine forest decay

feeding precious forest growth 

life and death hold hands

Rising from ashes

a single seed taking hold

rise to destiny

Destiny fulfilled

 a new green reality

do the next right thing
