charcoal sky gets light
an eerie quiet takes hold –
eye of summer storm
eye of summer storm
pine and hibiscus stand still
in recovery mode
in recovery mode
after being flung here and there –
hurricane force winds
hurricane force winds
storm now more wild winds than rain-
skies once again gray

For Ronovan Writes Haiku where the prompt is “Eye & Light” pass by to do some reading or to participate here.
I was never really a particularly chatty person. I always had my nose in a book, and I could never abide foolishness much. I was more interested in capturing catapillars and watching them change. Looking back, It felt like even as a child I was an old soul.
This, coupled with parents who were always at each others throat didn’t leave much time for celebrations. Especially not of birthdays. I don’t remember ever having a birthday party when I was young. That was never a big thing at our house. There were more pressing needs.
I do remember it being a day of protest, or acting up on my part. Thinking on this day I was somehow immune. The problem was my mom didn’t much abide foolishness either. So usually with my acting up, I got the order to “go pick a switch”. Birthday or no birthday.
