Privately discussed

Placements of forks, knives, and spoons

Upon the table

Summer Haiku

Heat drying out Earth

Flames devour the skies and seas

Extinction event

God bless,

Joshua Fahey 

Before Bed Haiku

Needing soft firmness

Lightly up or densely down?

Marshmallow or cheese?

And yet why not both?

Calmly swinging emotions

Cocoa harmony

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey 

Lonely Haiku

Loneliness can be

A gift that leads us to prayer

Or it can be hell

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey 

Fearful Haiku

Steer, slip, stop, and breathe

Never in a moment so cold

Frozen in winter's cage

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey

Addled Haiku

Meddled logic kills

Derailing the trains of thought

An ominous peace

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey

Epiphanic Haiku

As clear as stained glass

The dry heart, content, is firm

In telling the truth

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey

Rest Haiku

Gone deep, seeking peace

Sleeping in the arms of God

Just needing a rest

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey 

Dentist Haiku

Drilling and bone dust

Filling gaps with metal spots

Numb gums, lips, and teeth

God bless,

>P<

Joshua Fahey

Sand Castle Haikus

Sand castle tower
Intricate arrogance
The waves wave bye-bye

Sand castle tower
Temporal beauty expressed
For eternal love


God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

Spring Snow Haiku

Washed white and washed grey
Falling snow in isolation
The Spirit enlivens



God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

Home

Surrounded by foes
I calmly enjoy the meal
Bread broken and wine


God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

Seasonal Pun

Dust and leaves floating
Clouding vision with the clouds
Falls the sun, this autumn


God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

Reliable Lunch

Have a little faith
Or a small dash of mustard
Smother the hot dog


God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

All Nighter Haiku

Sparkly stars abound
In front of eyes dimmed and wide
Wishing sleep might come


God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

Too Focused

Nothing else to hear
Can you hear the crickets sing?
Summer near the end


God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

Wooded Evening

Nine tails under root
Eight crickets singing of night
Birds sleep in an oak

God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

Barbecue Haiku

In sharing a meal
Strangers become family
Love, joy, peace, and comfort


God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

Reluctant Repentant

Lost in the darkness
Led astray by false promise
Ashamed in the light


God bless,
>P<
Joshua Fahey

The Worst

What I fear the most
Disgusts my heart with the thought
Betraying my friend

God bless,
>P<
