The Return of the Rhythm

Brewed Beverage of Choice: A Stange of Evolution Altbier

Sometimes my brain likes to take a vacation.  Writing seems to take a back seat on the ride to where ever we are headed.  And in the back seat with writing is rhythm looking all somber and bored.  But this morning on the way to work, rhythm snuck up to the front seat and provided some inspiration.  Without further ado, the gift rhythm gave me…

Hawk and geese fighting
Outside the brewery, while
Inside the mash rests.

(I sat and watched a hawk fighting with these two Canadian geese this morning.  Instantly I knew I should capture the moment…for some reason in haiku.)

After months with grey
clouds and rain reigning,
through the brewery window,
a welcome surprise:
the morning sunrise.

Distant snow peaked mountains
An afterthought.
The geese and pear blossoms:
a sign of springs arrival.
When will you appear?
