Over the years I have tried many different forms of expression from painting on canvas (didn’t go well) to just writing. I enjoy creating things like projects and usually get wrapped up in them and don’t stop till completed…..well most of the time. When I was in Washington and had just gotten out of the military I thought it would be fun to build a Wagon for Jaden, but not just any wagon it was lifted and had carpet and a canopy for shade, it was great. Moving on, what I have come back to is the Haiku poem. If you don’t know a Haiku is three sentences the first and third sentences have five syllables and the second sentences had seven, the sentences don’t have to make sense together but are usually around a central theme. Some of the ones I have written are all independent thoughts just cause I don’t follow the rules always…… It is simple and I find you can make them serious or funny, I once wrote a haiku about toast for a youth event it made people laugh and I enjoy that. So here are some Haiku’s I have written about my recent military experience.
