Thunderstorm
Dark clouds are brewing Winds at high speeds now howling Thunderstorms to engage. (One last haiku for tonight. I think they are getting a little better, I hope. My inspiration for this one was I was hearing thunder outside as well as the dark, gray clouds and sky. Please comment if you want to.)

Rainbows
Rainbows of color all all red, yellow, orange, green, blue now after a rain. (I believe I described a basic rainbow. Also, I do believe I have the 5, 7, 5 pattern of a proper haiku. I had these ideas, and I wanted to get them down before they left me never to return. Hope you read and comment.)

The Family
Family is caring and loving persons always together. (Another haiku for analysis and I think I am improving even just a little bit. I know that I need work. Does anybody know a good book on how to write these poems better. Let me know if possible. Thank you.)

A Bedroom
A place to bring a sense of solitude and peace a place to rest. (I think I am doing a little better on the writing of haiku, but I know I need practice. So, when I write more haikus please read and share your thoughts on them if you wouldn't mind. Thank you in advance.)

Children's Literature
There is nothing better than a children's book. There are many lessons that one can learn from these kinds of books both for children and adults. There are mysteries, stories dealing with friendships, family and even personal issues. There are even nonfiction books that teach various skills from health and nutrition to even birth and death that are done in a conversational tone using vocabulary that children know and use.

What is a nursery rhyme in so many words?
So, what is a nursery rhyme in so many words. The nursery rhyme is a poem that teaches various lessons to young children using various kinds of characters to elicit feelings and emotions in a particular situation. This is not the official definition of a nursery rhyme, but my own.

Pledge Allegiance to the Flag. Content Warning.
Now that students are back in school who remembers standing at the side of the desks repeating this pledge with our hands over our hearts? I do remember doing this everyday till I graduated from high school. I remember in early elementary school I was even chosen to hold the flag one day. To me the meaning of this pledge is to say thank you to all the patriots for securing a republic turned democracy and allowing us to have many freedoms to learn and be happy in our choices.

What is it about reading a book?
What is it about reading a book? Is it the cover, the chapters, the words? Or is it the feeling of the pages as you are turning them? Could it be the place you chose to read this story or even your chosen drink say hot tea, hot chocolate or some would say a glass of wine depending on their mood and what they have chosen to read. Reading a book brings relaxation, learning and inspiration to whomever. Just read and it is cliche, but books to open a whole new world to all.
