Brainstorming haikus
In my current moments choose
Mind burns in my shoes.
Thoughts like rivers flowing,
Ideas start to take shape.

Love isn’t a strong enough word
Belief in the seen more than heard
Laid on the table
Mere facts not fable
While able
Undeterred…

What can you do that the words will not say
Actions speak louder each day
Kindness goes a long way.

Shimmering sparkle
Like metal arcing of a torch

Without

our
world
would

a

place,
devoid

Reaching high for the very top
Until accolades, never stop
When you’re the best
You’ll have passed the test
Without rest
Till you drop…

Begin
With your change
in your evolution
All oldest habits must come to
An end

One
fun
day, son
Never done
Even if I run
From the dawn to the setting sun
Exerting infinite efforts so I can become.

Does dirt become clean
After being washed up, or
Does it remain dirt
Can water change its nature
Is there a chance for rebirth?

Will horses run free
On never-ending pastures
Faster than the wind
Gracefully, they roam so wide
With joyful hearts, they gallop.
AAA/MAD 1/10/25

Harvest wheat dances
As the prairie breezes blow
Creating ripples
Under the golden sun’s glow
Fields alive, a vibrant show.

One
day
you will
love yourself
despite all your flaws
Only then, will you start living…

Voice raised in anger
Bad intentions are in mind.
Violence will follow
Feelings will be damaged and
It will be hard to repair.

Countdown begins
Then the first song
It’s not a sin
To sing along.
–
The groove and beat
Will make us dance
Moving your feet
In music’s trance.
–
As guitars scream
Keyboard is cool
The bass, a dream
Rock and roll rules.
–
Know where to go
Listen aloud
Gain your control
Be with the crowd.
–
Buy the teeshirt
Proves you were there
Which doesn’t hurt
Stories to share.
–
Until next time
You see a show
It’s quite sublime
I’m sure you know…

Your three words today are:
INDIGO
INGEST
INJURE
Indigo Skies

The sky was indigo as the sun had long since disappeared.
Deep night quickly followed, so I proceeded with caution lest I injure myself.
As the purples faded, I ingested the darkness, welcoming it.
–
Starlight darkness is a beautiful world all in itself.
Moons, comets, galaxies, distant planets all participate in a dance of the night sky.
–
After I’ve had my fill of midnight wonder, I start to fade and go inside for a long awaited dream-filled rest…

Sanctimonious Ringo had much to say
With his approach each day.

He thought he knew better than most
Of these things, he’d often boast.

Living his life in a self righteous way…

Honest Adventure

Nothing hostile at a hotel
Honest adventure, fun as well
Check in and the rest
They have passed the test
They’re the best
Can’t you tell?
-AAA 01/092025

Better than the rest
Left out in the heartless cold
Many neglected
Dreams are lost within shadows.
Hope flickers like a small flame.

Where did our rain go
Winter seasons really slow
Now nothing will grow
The ground is parched, sky is gray.
Each passing hour, the sun shines.
-AAA/MAD 1/8/25

Someone that you can count on
Is precious these days
In a cold untrusting world
Where everyone lies
And nothing is as it seems
Selflessness is nice
Compassion is worth its weight
In valuable gold…
-AAA 01/08/2025

Fierce winds fan hot flames
Fires race up and down hillsides
Where is the relief
Devasation for many
Compassion is needed now
-AAA/MAD 1/8/25

You count all the words
While I’ll count out all the days
Then divide by two
The answer cannot explain
all the joy & love that we have
-AAA/MAD 1/8/25

I
think
stories
should start with
once upon a time
and end happily thereafter…
-AAA 01/08/2025

Until the final words are written down
I will continue writing
Until my final days.
-AAA 01/08/2025

Floating in the primordial gypsum of nothing
Silent without intention or any desired direction.
–
Darkness envelops as eyelids grow heavy
as deep sleep consumes consciousness
–
Awareness of only the thundering ocean
Desperately endlessly beating a shoreline
–
Troubles worries and stress melt away
With the serendipitous tide of salt water
–
Warm sea breezes waft in open windows
Beckoning in the afternoon sunlight
–
In a room sparsely large enough for a bed
Out humble narrator snores deliriously
–
I should awaken for I have much to do
But my dreams keep me in place…
-AAA 01/08/2025

Your three words today are:
GUEST
GRIP
GUT
Gregarious George

Gregarious George is the worst guest
Gripping his gut, clapping his chest
Boasting to the extreme
All claims, sight unseen
He’s a blowhard braggart at best…
-AAA 01/08/2025

Starlight beauty stunning yet refined
Her warmth and energy would not harm
–
All the hurts and pain in the world erased
With just a whisper of her soft suggestion
–
Her fierce femininity flows with her life force
Yet she is gentle and silent just now
–
Beautiful like the autumn moon
Glowing silky sunlight in her eyes
–
All the answers she has inside
If you’re brave enough to venture
–
Like Diana the huntress, she suffers no fools
With abundant cunning all in herself
–
She often runs free dancing in the breezes
Reveling in the cool soft grass underfoot
–
Obsidian skies painted in sonic cosmic dust
Softly light all sharing in their presence
–
Delay not, you must keep up with her
Before you lose her in the shadows…

With all things in life we learn
It’s no small wonder
That things are not forgotten
With the bombardment
Past traumas deliver us
In great abundance
Yet life moves on, as must we
Lest we fall behind…
-AAA 01/06/2025

There
comes
a time
in our lives
when we don’t look back
with a single ounce of sadness
Despite the many harsh cards that life has dealt us all…

Danny thought he had it down
That he was hottest guy in town
But reality swelled
Rejection was hell
And now he’s sporting a frown…
-AAA 01/06/2025

On a gusty windy winter night
Feel no sadness or fright
Everything is alright
This pure flame burns bright
Climb to reach a new height
With happiness in sight
Hard past worth the plight
Gaze hard and see the light
Bidding adieu and goodnight…
-AAA 01/06/2025

Same time last summer
Why was it a bummer
You had a deep need
That I could never feed.
–
When you said goodbye
Rivers of tears I cried
When I realized you didn’t care
I relearned that life isn’t fair.
–
I put it all on the table
But your love was a fable
Painfully knowing all too late
That to you I wasn’t great.
–
The passions we shared
Were beyond compare
Yet you took another lover
Your lies were uncovered.
–
Not my lover not my friend
Didn’t have my back in the end
It’d be easy to hope for hell
But in the end I wish you well.
-AAA 01/06/2025

Your three words today are:
ECHO
EARNEST
ENIGMA
Decrepit In Wealth

An echo of your former self
Far from perfect in mind and health
An enigma plays
Earnest but a haze
In a daze
But in wealth…
-AAA 01/06/2025

Beginning is ending
Starting is stopping
Revolution is evolution
,in self,
Evolution is revolution
Stopping is starting
Ending is beginning…

All in my mind
All you need is love
Love is a drug
Love me do
Do you feel like I do
Do you wanna dance
Dancing in the streets
Dance in my blood
Blood on the ground
Blood, sweat, and tears
Tears of a clown
Tears of joy
Joy Division
Joy To the World
World without love
World in my eyes
Eye of the tiger
Eyes of a child
Children of the moon
Child of time
Time is on my side
Time of the season
Season cycle
Season of the witch
Witch craft
Witchy Woman
Woman to woman
Woman like me
Me and Julio down by the school yard
Me myself and I
I don’t want to spoil the party
I am one
One is the loneliest number
One step closer
Closer to God
Closer to the heart
Heart breaker
Heart of glass
Glass onion
Glass houses
Houses of the holy
House of the rising sun
Sunshine of your love
Sun king 44
King for a day fool for a lifetime
King of pain
Lifetime…
Pain…

I am open to change
I am 1000 times the man I used to be
I am creative and a free spirit
I am my mother and father’s son
I am creative
I am strong
I am open to change
I am a writer
I am a musician
I am grateful
I am forgiving of my past
I am an old soul
I am feelings
I am love
I am the sun of my parts
I am the product of my words not others
I am…

Simon a sloth is so very tired
Is it narcolepsy, that transpired
Resting day and night
Much to his delight
If it were a job he’d never be fired.
-AAA 01/04/2025

In darkness it lurks
Fear and mystery entwined
Eternal unknown
Deep inside us the fear binds
For all life has seen and shown.

Electric spark’s dance
Sensation of joy and hope
Shiver of delight
Tingling from head to toe
Butterflies fill our stomachs…
