Robin Redbreast Haiku......

1. 

Robin Redbreast sings her song

Tummy full of eggs

Looking for a place to nest.

I dont pretend to even start to  understand Haiku.

I have read and read and still dont get it.

I also apparently got the format wrong.

I believe it's supposed to be 5 syllables then 7 then 5. 

This is the other way around, 7/5/7

The Lost King.....................

Into the darkness  once more he descends With honour this time, we make amends. On Bosworth field, where he was slain. In a forgotten grave he was lain. Sun in Spendour rose once more. White rose and his white boar symbols of a time long gone. Remember England's long lost son. Now with pageant he is laid to sleep. In peace this time, people weep. Six hundred years and more have passed Since as a villain you were cast. The Tudor won the field that day. He took the crown from where you lay. White Surrey fell, and you were slain Treason ended your short reign. Now we seek with kinder eyes what was truth and what was lies Many hope to clear your name Many think you were not to blame, For the crimes laid at your feet. Innocent blood that made men weep. Now along the crowded street People line once more to greet This our last Plantagenet King Son of York the people sing. Rest now Richard for ever more. In that ancient Cathedral floor. ©Janice Kay Schaub....Mar 26 2015

Winter Storm.................

The North wind is blowing wild  shrieking like a wayward child.  Branches fall and scatter snow.  winds a tossing me where' er I go. Banshees scream in the tree tops primal fear down my spine hops. Thunder cracks the worlds alight Unnatural this, I flee in fright. Buffeted battered by this storm I pray to reach somewhere warm. Snow whirls up into the air Stings my cheeks without a care. I pull my coat up around my face Head down into the storm I race.  Snow drives up and drags me back  So thick now I barely leave a track. Through the pounding snow I see The glimmer of light shining for me I push against the wind once more Reaching out to grab the door Inside now I warm my face Glad to be in a safer place' Outside the storm batters on But I am safe now till its gone.

By His Hand.......................

Lord I see your glory, it's shining all around, In every flake of snow that falls down upon the ground. Every one is different, no two are the same. All of Heaven and Nature will Praise His Holy name. With every flake of pure white snow and ice crystals like diamonds glow. Dew drops glistening after rain Running down the window pane In new born lambs in fields in Spring and song birds that make the tree tops ring. In sunshine glowing on the flowers His love we see as we pass the hours I see that every grain of sand Is shaped by His almighty hand By His Word this all came to be On the land and in the sea How can people fail to see what is so obvious to me.  ©Janice Schaub Dec 2014 I am sharing this with roses of Inspiration party

Beautiful Bunny............

Beautiful Bunny My beautiful bunny with brown velvet eyes, Now lays in my garden under Autumn skys. Such a wonderful life, so full and so fun, Now rests forever, her time here is done. The pleasure she gave us in her short life time Was unselfish and pure and enriching to mine. I am glad that I knew her and her sister too Baby and BoBo I loved both of you.  ©janice schaub

BoBo I thought I heard my BoBo tonight I heard a soft thump upon the floor I thought I would go and see her looking up at me But she was not there for me to see. She is gone her soul took flight To scamper across heavenly fields and moor. No longer a pet of mine you see She is free as she was meant to be. ©Janice Schaub

When I had my horse Lady out at Golden Valley, Bill decided to get a couple of rabbits to breed. He thought he would raise them for meat. Well when the babies came my friend Mary and I took two each. Mine named Baby and Bobo. He never did raise rabbits for food. We litter trained them and they lived in the house the first year. That is until they started chewing wires. At that time we had an entrance off the deck. We also had Walter Pigeon. The rabbits lived in the porch and had access to the deck. They have a great life. Maybe some day I will get rabbits again, for Tristen.

Buttons, One month later...................

Buttons, one month later.............
It has been a whole month today Since my friend went away. Twenty Eight days have come and gone Some days I thought I could not go on. Twenty eight days.....oh so empty days. I miss you in so many ways Every moment of every day. You were there in your special way: Mornings, noon  and every night Betwix between  I was in your sight. In the gardens among my flowers helping me throughout the hours. I miss you most when I am cooking You always sat there patiently looking. For a handout or a spill I wish that you were watching still. You loved your food up to the end and I loved to indulge my very best friend. I loved you snuggled up with me If only when we watched TV. Then at night when we went to bed Always there beside my head. Middle of night you'd want a drink. I'll take ice with that I think. Spoilt rotten I do know that. I didn't care if you were a brat. You'd love to go out for a ride Window seat on either side. Nodding off upon my arm As we went early to the barn. Loved to frolic in the hay What a way to begin the day. Then home to nap for most of the day Always beside me in your special way. How can I not miss you so my little poo? You were a part of all I do. Bright button eyes and button nose. Living up to your name Heaven knows. You drank your water from a glass, no bowl. You were the princess playing the role. So many ills for so tender a pup Happy and cute your never gave up. Bore it all with love and grace How can I not miss your  face. That grubby smile and doggy kiss I miss nothing quite as much as this. Warm pink tummy when you would wake and morning breath that could make our eyes water.....yet I would not trade it at all if that smell would never fade How can I go on my lovely one without you beside me when the day is done. A whole month now has gone.....and next a year Time will pass and you not so clear. Your memory will fade until such day as you become as others I loved the same way. Life and death neither are fair. But still I was ever so glad to share Those special times that we once had Its just that I can not be anything but sad. Now that you are gone and I am here Without you beside me always near Gone......but always in my heart until the day that I depart Then you  had better be waiting there to welcome me.

When Buttons died, it was the hardest thing I had ever encountered to that point. I went into a depression and could not pull out of it. I have never cried like I did for her. She was so special. Maybe because from the very start she had ailments that needed my attention. It brought us close. I never want to experience that grief again. Dr Burke came to the house the day you had to go. I am not sure it was easier for you, but at least you didn't have to go to the office. Your were here in my arms and in your own home.
