Haiku Monday: New Beginnings

This week's Haiku Monday is hosted by Aunty Belle at http://abporkrinds.blogspot.com/ . 

The subject is:  New Beginnings.  Below are my submissions:


Light consumes the dark
Fresh fire, a new start, receive!
The Lamb, white as snow



Black eyes, greens, and ham
prosperity and luck....Come!
New Year, Southern style



And lastly, one more Haiku with the theme of New Beginnings,  in honor of Edward Bruce Ward, and for my brother Heath.

He passed on Christmas
a year of firsts now complete
time brings peace, arise!

    All are great, Scout! The Southern Style is yummy...but the tribute to Bruce and Heath are heart tuggers.

    Like Chickory said, usually poignant. I mix mine up, Poignant, funny, shocking, personal and etc. Haven't done food yet, but how much can you write about Tabasco sauce and bologna? I'm in awe! Woo Hoo! Oh wait, Fishy said that. The South will rise again!?

    At the tomb, I can feel your heart bleed. All we can do is keep them alive in our mind until we meet them for real. Dad
