Hi moonflwr.

Ninety nine point .

Nose was running all day long.

Think it's just a cold?

Got myself some zinc.

Sucking it down and hoping

That it works real fast!

LOL. Sure hope that's all it is.

RedReading · December 2013

You beat this darn cold,

Take zinc and vitamin C,

Echinacea too.

Hope you feel better soon, moonflwr.

warmer weather here

subtle hint that spring hides near

hide n seek; you're it!

------------------------------

Mid 40s today

But I slept the day away

Body needs more rest

-----------------

I really did sleep the day away. I can't believe some days how tired I am! I have 3 medications that I'm on for various maladies that cause fatigue. I'm afraid people will think I'm lazy. I need to get over that!

RedReading · December 2013

I'm so fatigued too

Spent the whole day in pj's

But I'm not lazy!

I totally get it mouse. I can't believe how tired I always am now. And if you are taking meds that cause fatigue as well, then it's no wonder your tired. It's easier for me when I just think how happy I am that those who think I'm not pulling my weight, aren't going though what we are.

They don't understand because, thank god, they don't have to.

Moonflwr912 · December 2013

How is it lazy

To be so tired eyes close

whenever you sit?

_______

Those who are judging

Should hope they never feel this.

Ask if they would switch?

_________

I hope sleep felt good.

Your body knows what it needs.

We understand. Hugs...

Moonflwr912 · December 2013

I am sorry you are in the midst of the fatigue. I didn't know how bad I was til I finally crawled out the other side. Hang in there. Much love.

I like these Haiku

Never one for poetry

I wonder why not?

Moonflwr912 · December 2013

Red. I just find it easiest to write in poetry. Usually rhyme. But Haiku are just fun for me.

Poetry is fun.

Measured syllables are too.

Together - Haiku!

_______

I write poetry.

It sets my mind and heart free.

Form helps make beauty.

RedReading · December 2013

Oh, I love that last one. Makes me feel good!

Things float in my head

Not always the nicest, but

My friends support me

Moonflwr912 · December 2013

Floating thoughts should go.

It's not always an option.

Write and send them on!

RedReading · December 2013

My friend wants to die

She wrote me a long letter

Don't want her to go.

Moonflwr912 · December 2013

Oh what a burden

To want her to stay with you

When she wants freedom

mouse9587 · December 2013

Prolific poets

Waterfall of emotions

Misty hugs all 'round!

ziggypop · December 2013

long letters to say goodbye

sad heart with a wish to fly

longing thoughts for you to stay

but best to let you fly away

mouse9587 · December 2013

amazing restful

sleepy long naps; pleasant dreams

ready to live now

--------------------

My heart is sad for those that are sad. We handle deep emotions on a daily basis; sometimes changing by the hour (I speak for myself only). I'm glad we are a compassionate bunch!

Cold, white night outside

Minus 35 in the morn

Poor trees are freezing

badger · January 2014

Freezing my ass off

is not the best diet plan.

Will it help The Pack?

(For those of you not from WI or not into football, that's the Green Bay Packers. They are playing San Fran this Sunday at Lambeau Field, supposed to be like minus 50 wind chills brrr crazy cold.)

Moonflwr912 · January 2014

Schools are closed Monday

Too dangerous for the kids

Cuddle up inside.

______

Packers game -Sunday

The Packers practiced outside

Packers fans insane!

RedReading · January 2014

Too cold for football,

Too cold for walking outside

Think I'll stay inside

The polar vortex

comes in on little cat feet

like Carl Sandburg's fog.

badger · January 2014

House is warm but dry.

Static electricity

did my hair today.

badger · January 2014

Fog

The fog comes
on little cat feet.

It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.

Carl Sandburg

badger · January 2014

That poem was my inspiration. Here's an interesting tidbit from wiki:

"Fog"is a poem by Carl Sandburg. It
first appeared in Sandburg's first mainstream collection of poems,Chicago Poems, published in 1916.

Sandburg has described the genesis of the poem. At a time when
he was carrying a book of Japanese "Hokus", he went to interview a
juvenile court judge, and he had cut through Grant Park and saw the fog over
Chicago harbor. He had certainly seen many fogs before, but this time he had to
wait forty minutes for the judge, and he only had a piece of newsprint handy,
so he decided to create an "American Hoku".

So my haiku was inspired by his poem, inspired by haiku! Nerdy
