Viewing: Haiku - View all posts

Shh!

Shh. Shh! I am the stealth master, yep. The stealth master, that’s me. Between my office/studio through the kitchen, bathroom to the bedroom, I know the precise location of every squeaky floorboard. I can navigate that path with total quietness. …

Clyde the Knife

Hey, who is that guy? What's his name who writes that blog every night, with a Haiku and a picture? He's a bit somber, political sometimes? A riotously funny and sometimes scary dude.  

"da6d Wiseman?" 

Nope. I've never heard of…

Wednesdays

I like Wednesdays. For no particular reason other than they're there. Their place in the week determined by nothing other than being at the right place, at the right time, every week. For years upon years.

Wednesdays seem to do…

I'm a Fun Guy

I have not found much yet that I won’t write about. I have never pontificated on the pompatus of love, or why we park in the driveway and drive on the parkway. Gee, I haven’t. Yet. 

Tonight, I was making…

I'll Take the Lead

it's usually pretty late at night by the time I get these thoughts down. It's often the next day by the time you read them. Does that have anything to do with anything?? Probably not.

These da6d Daily Ramblin's…

Dog Days

About this time every year, the DeO'Jie has a birthday. She moved in and took over the apartment in January or so of 2009. The shelter told me that she was a November '08 puppy. That makes her about 84…

It's Tomorrow Again!

Tomorrow is a new day.

Maybe today is,

By the time you read this,

I predict. 


I have no idea where that was going, but there it is. 

 

Hello tomorrow!

Everyone here's been…

da6d Daily Ramblin'

Anyone with a cardboard cutout and a flashlight can summon Batman. My wife has a flashlight and a cardboard cutout of the letter "Y." She uses these to summon Y-Chromosome Man.

Wherever there are toilets overflowing, wherever there are lids…

Gray Days

It's 11/25/2020. I stepped outside tonight to walk the hound. Seeing this, I would not have been much surprised if there had been zombies walking toward me.

There were a couple of cars stopped, facing opposite directions while their…

Paradise!

Several years back, I drove a blue GMC van (Babe, like the Blue Ox). There was enough room inside to host a small rodeo. Someone may have at some point. That would explain the smell.  

Before that, I drove a…

Loaves and Fishes

First off, the painting and then the Ramblin’.

C. R. Pap Pap Troxell is one of my favorite painters. He painted my CD cover for I Ain’t Stayin’. Have a look!

This painting is “Wooly Worm Trails,”…

Hey Rex, Look at This!

Has anyone ever asked, “How many eyes did you see that with, and whose were they?” That is a rather silly question, eh? 

Has anyone ever said, “I saw it with my own two eyes!”? I wonder how a statement…

Important Things

I took this picture in Casselberry, FL on February 8th of this year, so it was way down in my photos list. For some reason, it just popped up this evening.

Miles Dryer made this token. The one I wear…

First, A Word From Our Sponsor!

A few weeks ago, I published a video for the song Shadow's Puppet. Several of the scenes were a bit challenging. Some things just had to be the way they were. During a…

Golf, Anyone?

Golf is not the sport for me. Maybe, 1979 or so, I played 14 holes with a borrowed set of clubs. That's when I reached the conclusion that if I have time for golf, I have time for fishing. "Fore!"

Welcome again, Friends

Shine bright, Pleiades

 

Peace, Y'all!

Clean Hands

My wife thinks that I sanitize my hands a lot. Me? I like tequila.

Well, I used to. I have become very indifferent about it now. I do recall that almost every time tequila was involved, there was something…

I Ain’t Stayin’

It was just about a year ago when I spent a few days with Robert George at Sound Temple Studio, Asheville NC. I’ve been there before. This was my second full-length CD recorded at Sound Temple Studio. I like working…

Lip Balm?

Lip Balm? 

I recall the movie The Three Amigos with Martin Short (Ned Nederlander), Chevy Chase (Dusty Bottoms), and Steve Martin (Lucky Day). Other than the Buttercup scene, my favorite is the Lip Balm scene. 

The Three Amigos are riding…

Bolo

I am ramblin' a bit late tonight. I'm sure that surprises very few. But there is a story I want to tell you about. In the picture, a bolo tie. They have a very interesting history, but that's not what…

Splatt's Spontaneous Soiree for Stand Up For Heroes

This week, Rob Appelblatt invited me to perform with other songwriters and performers to benefit the Robert W. Woodruff Foundation and Stand Up For Heroes. Rob's efforts for these two interrelated charitable causes can be augmented greatly by any contribution…

Two Dollar Bill

Let’s talk about something else for a change. I have a two-dollar bill in my wallet. It’s been in there for as long as I’ve owned the wallet. The same goes for the wallet before that one and maybe one…

Chess, Anyone?

I haven't played much in a long time. No matter, I'm still pretty bad at it. 

I read recently about the benefits of chess for Military Veterans. There is positive evidence that chess can help veterans with PSTD and…

New Post (Fill in the Blank)

This is a new post, alright. A new one every day, but this one is different. This is my first animation from drawings, so how cool is that, eh? I'm learning this by trial and lots of error. If I…

When Johnny Comes Marching Home

I see these on a shelf or in a box somewhere around the house every year or so, usually about this time. There's often a flood of emotion, good and bad. I'll dust them off and put them back on…
