Bike Ride

Sceneful byway
Little legs pump hard and fast
Spinning wheels traverse

Technology pains

Wi-fi, digital
All convert, update your stuff
Old junk obsolete

Technology can be a blessing, until one tries to find new compatible parts for one's outdated equipment. When that doesn't happen, it's time to buy more stuff. I tell ya, it can be quite a drain on the pocketbook.

Marching Band Memoirs

Thundering reverb
Deft, uniformed players tread
Wielding brass and winds

Explanation: I marched in band for 8 years. Call me a band geek. I went to a marching band competition this past evening, and it really felt like going back to a place that was such a big part of my life that I've missed. So I wrote this haiku, and realized 17 syllables is hardly enough to encompass everything that marching band is to me. So I tried to include everything that makes up a band. Thundering reverb=percussion (that's drumline and pit), Brass=duh, Winds=woodwinds, and uniformed players has to include colorguard too. Sorry I couldn't fit in flags, rifles or dancing in there anywhere. Hmm, maybe I should do a colorguard haiku.
P.S. I play the Baritone. No, not a Bari Sax, a Baritone Horn, otherwise known (to me) as the mini tuba.

General Conference - raining again?

When all Saints gather
Spirits burn with holy fire
The heavens will weep.

I wrote this for my mom. When I asked why it usually rains on Conference weekend, she replied, "When the saints all gather the heavens will weep." I thought that was pretty funny.
