Three words from a haiku

I got my inspiration for this post from a Haiku posted by scooj,naturaladventures. It was titled C2H5OH and contained three words with really jumped out at me. I thought the posting was both clever and unusual so much so in fact that I kept thinking bout it for many hours. At about 10:00p.m. yesterday evening I was reading in bed. I think I must have dozed off for a few minutes. I woke up and looked for my notepad and wrote the following:
SALVATION
Salvation a present possession not merely an object of hope, note: Ignatius bishop of Antioch wrote these words in ca. 167
RUINATION (an anagram)
Ruination through urination, pissing away one’s total wealth
MODERATION
Moderation, that happy balance between too much and not enough

Point not worth pondering (or how to waste time without really trying)

Do twigs wag the log

like the tail that wags the dog?

Just the bark can tell!

Why I wear boots in the Desert

You are not alone

In the desert. Unseen eyes

stand guard, watching you.

scorpions, spiders and snakes

will strike  at the unwary.

1:00p.m. in Sonora, Arizona

The streets are empty

No people out and about

It’s siesta time.

Las calles están vacías,

No hay gente fuera de casa.

Es hora de la siesta

What would you wish for?

When there is no Moon

The dark sky is full of stars

Free to wish upon

Life on the edge of the prairie

Falling snow in May

Cottonwoods release their seeds

White wind-blown fur balls

LOOKING AT THE NIGHT SKY

From where I look out

the Universe has no end

Rice

Fluffy or sticky.

Sticky rice good for sushi.

Fluffy for curry.
