May heavenly rain
water the hearts of mankind
with loving-kindness
* * *
Flotsam of our past
it’s water under the bridge
Wave from river banks
* * *
Washed away through tears
Cleansed through the sweat of our brow
human suffering

Paying Lip Service for RUBY
Pucker up your lips
pucker up rooooooobe red lips
to round out the sound
Color-bound Ruby
yearning for green “compliment”
stuck in monochrome
GIVE me a break, it’s just haiku
Give, strange little word
neither melodic nor quaint
quixotic at best
Give it to me now
give in, give out, so giving
Don’t ever give up
A give-or-take verb
Frankly I don’t give a darn
a strange little word
“Give ME a break – Judy’s the one who’s strange . . .”
HOME on the range warmed over
Gene Autry singing Home, Home on the Range inspired my original Haiku ( posted the last time the prompt was “home”). For your literary pleasure I’ve added a another “homey” haiku.
Bob the Blobfish sez:
“Here she goes again. . .”
Panic on the Prairie Haiku
Home, home on the range
it’s much more comfortable
when the gas is off
by judy
When the cold wind blows
be careful warming your buns
by the home fires
Hooked on the Haiku BRANCH – tu haiku for yu
Rooted in God’s love
we are all leaves of one tree
and fruits of one branch
“A fundamental teaching of Bahá’u’lláh, the founder of the Baha’i faith, is the oneness of the world of humanity. Addressing mankind, He says: “Ye are all leaves of one tree and the fruits of one branch.”
“In this way His Holiness Bahá’u’lláh expressed the oneness of humankind whereas in all religious teachings of the past, the human world has been represented as divided into two parts, one known as the people of the Book of God or the pure tree and the other the people of infidelity and error or the evil tree.”
“The former were considered as belonging to the faithful and the others to the hosts of the irreligious and infidel; one part of humanity the recipients of divine mercy and the other the object of the wrath of their Creator.
His Holiness Bahá’u’lláh removed this by proclaiming the oneness of the world of humanity and this principle is specialized in His teachings for He has submerged all mankind in the sea of divine generosity. Some are asleep; they need to be awakened. Some are ailing; they need to be healed. Some are immature as children; they need to be trained. But all are recipients of the bounty and bestowals of God.”

Hooked on Haiku – Retreat
Retreat from my life?
Wherever I go I’m there
no way possible
Sneak a Peek into my Mind – it’s still the same.
This weeks’ haiku prompt is HOME. My Haiku (which I’ already posted the last time the prompt was “home”) is inspired by Gene Autry singing Home, Home on the Range.
Panic on the Prairie Haiku
Home, home on the range
it’s much more comfortable
