Just Karma 9 for June 2015 b

Just Karma 9

Representing?

Daniel Boone was a

shorter red head, nothing like

the portrait painted after

his death, that hangs in

in the old Capital which

does look strangely like 'Elvis'

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Boone

According to my wonderful guide; Daniel Boone’s family

related that Daniel does not look like the painting;

would have worn different clothes and would

never have worn a coonskin cap.

But especially would not have had mutton chop sideburns.

Adventure

early to Fort Hill;

serpentine trail going up

a doe waited to greet me

at the loop top there -

that alone was worth the climb;

five mile round trip, before nine

Around Town

the small town awaits

up steps, over the plaza

down steps and around corners

sleepy little thing

most doors will open at ten

some just a tad earlier

Just Karma 6

New Locale

woke late to grey sky

rain cool and refreshing falls

on these unfamiliar streets

exploration shall

have to wait, unless I buy

an umbrella from a shop

Just Karma 5

Keyed Up

silence leaves room for

observation on the road,

in the waiting area

of ticket check-in,

security cues, eating

spaces and airport lobbies

Just Karma 4

water, works

rain mimics joys tears

knowing of a reunion

to be forthcoming with you

how long has it been

since we have held each other

tomorrow night; after flight...

for June 2015 Tetractys and Collum Lune

Delight

be

prepared

for travel

and reunions

with those loved ones that have been far away

rejoice in knowing that you’ll get to see

their smile, kiss and

hug them close;

face to

face

Karma is cause and effect. Dharma means cosmic law.

Yoga is enlightenment through movement and Tao is the

practice of acting in harmony with the fundamental essence

of everything you encounter.

Note: my haiku (or other forms) are my interpretations

or of how I might put the inspirational sentence

into practice, for me.  Also, I am going in my own order.

Tetractys – it’s another of the short poetry forms; invented by Ray Stebbing it consists of at least 5 lines of 1, 2, 3, 4, 10 syllables (total of 20).  The Tetractys can be written in more than one verse, but then must each line must be followed by an inverted syllable count (10,4,3,2,1 syllables).

American haiku: The Poetic ‘Lune’ : The form is 3/5/3 words. Jack Collom created this new form of haiku by chance...free from all constraints associated with haiku,...See more info from Wikipedia.
