So, I finally found a work at home job that is not some pyramid, BS scheme. I am writing freelance articles. Some of the work is pretty lame, like writing 30 articles on topics like woodworking and crown molding and such.. But most of it is really easy.

Writing 500 works on any topic can be done, even if you don't know the first thing about the topic. With the internet, I find I can research and learn the most far reaching things. I never had any idea what a jig was, but no I am familiar with all sorts of jigs ... lol, at least I am 500 words familiar.. and I just finished an assignment to write 8 articles on Forex trading.. that was a stretch too... but I got paid more than I bid for the job. Cool!

The most difficult part is not the writing, I love to write and learning about new topics is not a bad thing for me.. I like to learn.. but my family! They just don't understand that when they come in and start making noise or turn on the television, the distractions are killing me... WHEN DOES SCHOOL START? Six weeks? oh my!

Well, enough wasting time, I have 17 plumbing articles to write ...

Hiking at :en:Eagle Creek (Multnomah County, O...Image via Wikipedia

Hiking
misty humid gray
leaf covered winding footpath
dense calm solitude

Blossom
wildflower or weed
neither distinction matters
a purple beauty

Snow
fluffy white cotton
falling gently, swirling down
landing on my nose

Fall Lake
blue top blue bottom
bright colorful reflection
rainbow without rain

Cactus
brown and yellow hues
amidst prickly leaves and stems
porcupine flowers

Winter Forest
regal majestic
frozen white-shawled boughs climb high
perfect blue backdrop

Water
eroding canyons
gently cleansing earth and beast
clear life giving drops

Pebbles
small gray hard roundish
broken shaped whittled through time
insignificant

Waterfall
rainbows at your feet
melting icecaps create you
you forceful pure soul

Sunset
bright horizon west
your calm colors end my day
'til tomorrows light

Trees
nature's skyscrapers
leaves soaking up her sunlight
creating my shade

Rose
petals opened wide
long-stem yellow miracle
heavenly fragrance

Thanks for reading my Haikus, I enjoy the challenge of expressing a single concept as completely as possible with only the 17 syllables. Reblog this post [with Zemanta]
