It gives a sense of
accomplishment to put a /
new notch in my belt.

Listen To What The Farmer Tells You No — No Excuses: IMprov Free Verse
When a farmer
tells you “No”,
accept what they say.
Don’t give reasons why,
or why not,
or why they should,
or should not.
Don’t make excuses.
Just listen
and learn.
(Especially if
it’s the farmer’s land.)
Non-Intentional Intention Rock Thinking: Haiku
I’d not intended
to think on the intention
rock, yet here I sit .
If I Sit And Think: Haiku
If I sit and think,
is that working, even if /
it’s fun? I think so.
Anxious Breathless Prayer: Haiku
I can’t hold my breath
As I drop to my knees and
Plead in earnest prayer.
(Backstory: A friend’s potential daughter-in-law was detained with passport issues. The friend said they were “breathlessly waiting”, and asked us to pray that the travel issues would be resolved. They were.)
Intention Rock Insights
While planting and watering grapevines, eating fox grapes, and weekend peach and pawpaw trees during a recent drizzly Saturday morning, I felt “called” to sit on our “Intention Rock” on the banks of the West Chickamauga Creek, at our Spirit Tree Farms property in Northwest Georgia. While there, I had these three haiku come to mind, one right after the other.
Called To The Intention Rock
Not knowing why I’m/
called to the intention rock, /
I stay still, listen.
———-
Keep Doing What You Think You Should
Affirmations flood/
my heart, mind, and soul. I’ll keep/
doing what I’m asked.
———–
It’s OK to Question
I’m not faithless when/
I worry, doubt, or question./
I seek more insight.

Nervous About Her Change: Haiku
When you think someone

Why (And How) Will She Change? — Haiku
When you think someone
is fine as they are, but they
want to change? High nerves.*
