Jeff Gilpin

I'm just me. Married. Twice retired. Write poems, songs, and hopefully more. Play guitar and sing, read, take pictures, hike, make up dad jokes, and take naps.

My dog’s lazy grin
And slow wagging of his tail
Brings out my own smile

What to wear Friday
Let’s just go through my closet
And find something cool
#haiku #onehakiuaday

[Jeff Gilpin @JeffGilpin8]

Raining on Monday
But it doesn’t get me down
Because of my dog
#haiku #onehaikuaday

Mother’s Day Sunday
A time for celebration
And to remember
#haiku #onehaikuaday

[Jeff Gilpin @JeffGilpin8]

Changes always come
Some for better, some for worse
Try to roll with them
#haiku #onehaikuaday

[Jeff Gilpin @JeffGilpin8]

Morning tasks all done
Just waiting on my coffee
And then my breakfast
#haiku #onehaikuaday

[Jeff Gilpin @JeffGilpin8]

Playing hide and seek
Is a lot more fun for me
If my dog helps out
#haiku #onehaikuaday

[Jeff Gilpin @JeffGilpin8]

Wherever we go
We will always be rookies
When we try new things
#haiku #onehaikuaday

Chill of the morning
Has me moving slow today
At least to start with
#haiku #onehaikuaday

[Jeff Gilpin @JeffGilpin8]

Sometimes the road’s straight
But sometimes it gets twisted
Just keep on that road
#haiku #onehaikuaday

[Jeff Gilpin @JeffGilpin8]

Friday happiness
The feeling never gets old
The end of our week
#haiku #onehaikuaday

[Jeff Gilpin @JeffGilpin8]

Good morning, morning
Another in a long line
Let’s see what’s ahead
#haiku #onehaikuaday

[Jeff Gilpin @JeffGilpin8]

The day breaks brightly
Rouses me from my slumber
Sooner than I want
#haiku #onehaikuaday

[Jeff Gilpin @JeffGilpin8]

Waking up early
Sunlight filters through gray skies
Might as well get up
#haiku #onehaikuaday

[Jeff Gilpin @JeffGilpin8]

Plants drink it all in
Rains fall from the skies above
The April showers
#haiku #onehaikuaday

[Jeff Gilpin @JeffGilpin8]

He steadfastly waits
For some tidbit or morsel
His second breakfast
#haiku #onehaikuaday

[Jeff Gilpin @JeffGilpin8]

Thunder and lightning
Sometimes accompany rain
As we tolerate
#haiku #onehaikuaday

[Jeff Gilpin @JeffGilpin8]

New plants start growing
As they take root in new soil
Start of a new life
#haiku #onehaikuaday

[Jeff Gilpin @JeffGilpin8]

The world awakens
Yet my dog still likes to sleep
Until he hears “walk”
#haiku #onehaikuaday

[Jeff Gilpin @JeffGilpin8]

Some days are tougher
Yet we’ve still got to get through
Better days ahead
#haiku #onehaikuaday
