Describe your life in an alternate universe
In an alternate universe, I’d probably be dead.
In an alternate universe, there’d be regular electricity in my head.
In an alternate universe, I’d have children instead of dogs.
And an alternate universe, I’d live alone in a cabin made of logs.
In an alternate universe, I’d have the ability to fly.
But in some alternate universe, I would just hope my bro would still be my guy.

Thank you for reading, feel free to share your thoughts.
Warning- primitive road.
Three adventures,
Continue on.
Path unknown,
Rocks threaten.
Meadow offers rest.
Yellow flowers,
Shine as bright as the sun.
The pines enjoy both.
Humming bees,
Racing by.
Unaware it’s vacation.
Domesticated animal,
Turns wild.
Free as the wind in the trees.
Turkey vultures,
Soar.
We are not what you are looking for.
Morning cool,
Turns afternoon warm.
Hikers: thankful for shade.
Large ears turn to listen,
She hears no threat.
Her hoves saunter on.
Catahoula watches grazers,
Very respectful.
Good boy.
Four cows,
Sixteen stomachs.
Understandably you eat all day.
Drifting in the wind,
On paper wings.
Flutters by.
The butterfly lands,
And waves.
I wave back.
Sun setting,
Storm threatens.
It’s thunder shakes the mountain.
Trees sing lullabies.
The gently falling rain,
Keeps tempo.
The fire dances.
It’s movement,
Warms three hearts.
Morning fog.
Sunbeams kiss wet leaves,
Shimmering.
Traveling along – primitive road.
Three adventurers,
Returning home.
Path now known,
Rocks permitting.
Meadow wishes best
The American Haiku is a simple three line poem without restrictions of syllables or rhyming. Jack Kerouac revised the Japanese art form in the late 1950’s through the late 1960’s to adapt to Western Culture.
