Mowing the Yard in Haiku

I Love to Mow the Yard!  I know weird but we have this big ride on mower to mow our 4 acres in Haiku.  As you know, my favorite time of day is early evening.  Just when the light and air starts to change.  Well, that is the time I like to mow the yard.

There are parts of the yard that I really like to mow and then there are parts that I really hate.  There is a section of the yard where it is near the neighbors and sometimes when I mow there I can hear them talking or their dog comes over to bark at me.  Parts of the yard are just plain hard to mow, bumpy and full of sticks and high dry grass.  The mower kicks up dirt and stuff at me.

The sections I like to mow are nice and flat, give me a view of the ocean, some has shade or it just isn't the part that i don't like.

I think about various things when I mow and sometimes it is just really odd things.  If someone famous has died the week I mow, I sometimes find myself thinking about that person and how sad it is.  Like Michael Jackson, what a shame that he had such a terrible time with his childhood and then with his finances later in life.  All the fame and in the end he just plain had a tough life. 

Maybe if he just had mowed the yard it would have centered his life and given some time for reflection. Just maybe.

Thanks for listening.
