Haiku #347 - Badass Women: Unknown



smiles into the wind
waiting for the bus to come
nothing keeps her down

I don't know who this lady was (so yes, this is kind of a voyeur pic), but her outfit caught my eye, and her free-spirited attitude. We exchanged a smile through the window as I ate my soup, and a couple minutes later, she and her silver boots climbed aboard the bus to whatever adventure awaited her next. I hope I'm as awesome as she when I'm her age.

Haiku #338 - So Simple, So True

Concluding February's love-themed haiku...

 hang onto these words:
do not lose your faith in love
so simple, so true*

 *tonight's haiku is in honor of/stolen from a song I really like by a band I really like, the Spring Standards. It's one of my go-to songs for melancholy days; I appreciate that it doesn't try to explain or reassure - just: don't lose faith. 

 I also really like this song by the Spring Standards. The lyrics, esp the 2nd verse- internal rhymes and faint blasphemy!? Go listen, and buy their CDs so they can keep doing what they do, and I can catch them on tour sometime (I'm bummed I have a rehearsal scheduled during their one NYC gig this spring...)!
