Ode To May: A Haiku

Happy new day, happy new
week, and happy new month. I am looking to returning some joy to my life this month.
I could use lots of spring flowers and loads of laughter. A little rain would help
too. I’d love not the go through another summer of drought conditions.
I am truly waxing poetic this
month (but not overly wordy). Writing Haiku for as long as I have, I tend to few
words. But I would love to share this:
Now Not Never: A Haiku
Now,
if ever, is
“The
time is now”, else it be
Forever

I would not have it be forever
never. So now I take a deep breath and get back to my first love – writing! I can’t
put it off any longer. I have no idea what the future holds, but it will hold more
joy if I am writing.
I would also like to share what
I wrote for my son Vernon’s memorial that was held by his friends and fans from
the Las Vegas Hilton’s “Star Trek – The Experience” show along with his friends
from other shows in Vegas on April 23, 2023.

Eulogy
for a Borg
“The stars in the Star Trek
Universe shine a little more brightly now that my beloved son, Vernon, has
joined them.
I am sorry I am ill and
unable tto attend the memorial. I appreciate everyone’s love for Vernon.
Also, I wanted to share
these photos with you all. They are among my favorites:
The first one of Vernon is from
1977 when he was seven and at his happiest. The second is of Vernon and his
sister, Lawanna, in 1972 when he was an adorable two-year-old.
He was happiest again when
he joined “Star Trek - The Experience”. The third photo was taken when I was
able to visit with 7 of 16 at The Hilton.
I thank you all for your
love and support as you celebrate his life.”
As always, I welcome your
reactions and responses to any of my blogs. I love to hear from my readers.
Also, here are links to my Twitter and Facebook accounts, if you care to share
your thoughts with me there or look for any publication announcements.

It’s now May, deep into Spring,
and I’m praying for rain. I want flowers this year. I need flowers.
