Recreating the
experience of being
on ship long ago
Month: September 2017
Haiku: Kitty thoughts
Why are you always
taking these pictures of me?
Humans are so strange
Haiku: Waterfall
The water splashes
down onto the rocks below
in its own rhythm
Waves
The waves of water
cover and uncover the sand
bringing mystery
Haiku: Rainbow
The storm has ended
and the rainbow shines above
Colors peeking through
Duck Party
“So, what are you all thinking? I think this is a good place for a dance party.”
“Eh, I’m tired. I think I’m just going to hang out here and relax.”
“But this place is great for line dancing. Look at these ready-made lines.”
“What about those guys over there? I might be up for a dance party if they join us.”
“Guys, we’re going to have a dance party. Are you up for it? Guys?”
Haiku: Skyline
Whispy clouds above
Shimmering water below
the city skyline
Peculiar

100-word story: Whispers from the Pines
The pines were whispering to me.
“Can’t you hear them?” I asked my brother.
He stared at me. “Hear what?”
“The pine trees. The whispers all around us.” I pointed at the forest around us.
“Um…no,” he said. He stopped and frowned at me. “You’re not serious, are you?”
He wasn’t ready yet. I smiled. “Of course I’m not. I just wanted to freak you out.”
He laughed. “You know, I was afraid you were losing it there for a second.”
I’ll tell him when he’s ready. Soon he’ll have to hear it one way or another. Very soon.
