Sky clear blue and bright
Ten geese flying left to right
Smaller bird in sight
Swoop down fast in sight
Peregrine falcon with might
Over red fence slight
Doves cooing at night
Two small birds antenna height
Bigger one far sight
Three bird samples of flying haiku in monorhyme.

Thursday was normal but the evening wore on as I listened to Maw tell her story of one of her distraught friends walking one-quarter of a mile from her house to ours. As we looked out her bedroom window, the trees were stiff as green cardboard papers as no wind blew and the horizon of the skies was orange in color and the air was still warm.
I sat next to her tell of how ‘Eden Capricious’ had nowhere to turn. The old lady, who was in tears, described how the daughter had revealed a family secret that her own two sons and three grandchildren knew, except her. ‘Demonio Capricious’, an old man of seventy-five years, was being naughty towards his own daughter, ‘Donut’, since eight years of age. The old lady could see the pain of her daughter screaming each time she looked at the old man.
The daughter is now in the process of divorcing that abusive Vietnamese, whose verbal assaults from demeaning her family to not working while living free in the house up in Sacramento, CA. The husband was not supportive for the closeness of mother and daughter and had moved the family away from San Jose, CA as a good example of Asians dividing family units.
One of the old lady’s sons, ‘Deadward’, is also in the process of divorcing another Chinese, who has her family constantly visiting the house without notice and staying too long for their welcome. The stories from this son range from her family leaving extra food of their own bland likings in the refrigerator to talking in their own languages without concern for the son not understanding a word coming out of their mouths.
This particular Filipino couple continues to live under the same roof. But the old lady sleeps in the other room after screaming at the old man for having a demon inside of him for doing misdeeds to the family, such as gambling until the mornings, causing near fatal accidents on the passenger side of the car where the old lady sat and damaging the garage door with his vehicle.
The twist to this tale is their cruise together that is non-refundable. Amazingly, the old lady will go in spite of learning of her children’s plight. I am told that her three children take turns calling their mother on her new cellphone (which she bought) to make sure she is well and alive. With one son headed off to Chicago, the daughter is planning to move the mother into their new home together in Sacramento, CA. Together they will raise the grandchildren and live happily ever after.
To me this is a bunch of bull crap. I want to sympathize but I cannot understand how woman-kind continues to consider themselves victims in the grand scheme of this world. Those that are lucky to survive any abusive relationship should have a new place to live and a fresh start to freedom. Women should have other members of family, relatives and friends available to provide the support necessary to make the great moves in their lives.
I have observed the following: Family units should be close but not too close to stifle the freedom to do as they want and please. Any Maw can awaken to the truth not all Paws are all that bad. There will always be unity in many forms and love at all levels of vibration.
Furthermore, Maw has been calm and quite wise in guiding the distraught old lady (on the verge of suicide) to be strong and think of being able to assist her daughter and grandchildren when time comes to move to their new house. She was also to open up a separate account and divorce her husband. Divorce means freedom, by the way.
In turn, this life’s lesson teaches Maw that her strength is not to dwell on her struggles from the past but to be strong for those persons, who happen to cross her path in the present and future as a signal that her mission to live longer is not constrained to family members but to strangers from far and wide as well

Your Assistance Dear Sir, My name is Mr. James OFILE I was the director of special duties to President Charles Taylor in Liberia . We the former members of government are no longer in Liberia . We are currently in exile outside our country. I am requesting your cooperation for immediate acceptance of my US$7,000,000.00 {Seven Million United States Dollars Only}. This amount is my compensation from unofficial payments made to our government by foreign buyers of our major export, diamonds, which were under my supervision. As the former Director of Special Duties, President Charles Taylor compensated me with these funds during our last days in Liberia before we handed over power to the interim government last summer. All that has to do with the US$7M are decent, morally sound, and legal. But the money is in United States Dollars, which attracts undue attention especially when it is connected with someone in and around government. I therefore request that you receive and keep the funds on my behalf until I am able to take back control of it in a short period of time. Please reply me urgently so you can receive the amount into your bank account. Once the money is in your account, feel free to keep 20% of it for your personal use as compensation for your efforts, while the balance will be kept for me until I can take control of it. We shall sign a formal partnership agreement and I can also make available my detailed profile and photographs to assure you of my honesty and good faith. Send me the following information: 1. Your direct telephone and fax numbers. 2. Bank account details where you want the money transferred into. I need to call you and speak with you on phone and also fax you the relevant documents before the funds will be transferred into your bank account. Please reply to my alternate email address as soon as possible:( ofile_james@o2.pl) Yours faithfully, MR.JAMES OFILE
