Senior Citizens – A Haiku

Many years they live

And so much knowledge they know

Extend them a hand

Coins – A Haiku

Silver and Copper

Many fall through fingertips

Others through coin slots

Nobody Cares – A Haiku

A lack of action

Trade important for mundane

That’s why Earth degrades.

2013 Albert Moyer, Jr.

During general conversation, meetings, and social media, it has become quite clear to me that the majority of people really do not care about what is important. They will complain about what is happening around them, but at the first suggestion of helping the problem, they have things to do, they do not want to talk about it, or the obvious principle is right in front of them, but they dislike it, and do not want to use it. It’s like they know the vegetables will sustain them, but they would rather starve. The world is becoming full of the,”I want!” and “Look at me!” people. We need more,”I do!” and ,”I want to help.” people. Consumers without producers is unsustainable, and for anything to happen there always has to be action. Words without action are useless.

Cajun Dance – A Haiku

Two step and waltzing

Joyous laughter all around

Laissez bons temps rouler friends.

2013 Albert Moyer, Jr.

This haiku was inspired by a gig my band played for the Cajun French Music Association of San Antonio this past weekend. It was a joyous time with gumbo, cakes, beverages, and dancing.

Some days my inspiration for Haiku’s comes from staring at the things on my desk.

Liquid  Paper – A Haiku

Coverage of ink

My written mistakes all gone

Time to write again.

My heart pulls my mind

Sometimes heaven, sometimes hell

Thank God for saving

Koi and the Lotus Flower – A Tanka

Floating in the pond

The lotus provides beauty

It’s roots a cover

Koi swim happily below

Nature working together

Dumb Em’ Down – A Haiku

Remove their thinking

Controlling is our main goal.

We need compliance

Here is a haiku that captures the feel of Texas In August. It is my least favorite month in our wonderful state.

Welcome to Texas In August

Wet humidity.

A blistering heat daily.

Mosquitos feeding.
