Dragon
Breath A Haiku
The Dragon wakes and
Breathes his fire to celebrate
The dawn of his year.

...and
I celebrate with him – breathing fire and all.
I’m
late! I’m late for a very important date. About ten days late, but I am in
posting my monthly blog. Sorry about that. I was under the weather for the
first few days, and then overwhelmed with catching up on life and everything.
Today
is the Chinese Lunar New Year, so I decided to start my year over and celebrate
The Year of the Dragon as a new beginning.
This
year is going to be different (barring any more unforeseen illnesses or
emergencies). I’m breathing fire along with the dragon (or at least I’m trying
to).
Maybe
I better settle for working up a storm. Maybe not. I understand there’s one
headed this way (wind, rain, and snow). Guess I better cut this real short and
post it before the power goes out.
I need
to double down on my efforts to publish more this year. Too bad I can’t spend
as much time writing, editing, and publishing as I do trying to catch up on
other things I haven’t done.
I
guess I can blame most of my problems on age.
Eighty
is no spring chicken, and I’m guessing it’s the main reason I feel the need to
take a nap during the day. But I will soldier on, and Sam Rock will be the
better for it. I’m feeling it in my blood now. There will be blood (and gore)!
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 February and the start of the Chinese Lunar New Year, and I’m claiming a
do-over and another new beginning.
Happy,
Happy New Year!
