Nature has put on her fllamboyant
dress of white and pink flowers
that spread a delicate scent
to liven up melancholic eyes.

Wintering atmosphere,
times without sun,
fierce cold wind blowing,
Frost sad weather...
 Helpful fireplace lit,
Hot chocolate,
bubbly soup,
perfume
environment... !
liven up life!...

going out on the town
exploring every corner
savouring local cuisine
enjoying every morsel

biting into life's pleasures
a glass of favourite wine
lively ethnic music
getting into the mood

sitting on a terrace
as the sun sets by the sea
waiting for nightfall when
things will really liven up

The blue jay is a handsome bird
  though that is oft the one nice word
you'll read about this robber of other
  birds' nests ~ this handsome pest 

You're a beacon of color on a bleak winter's day
  despite what we read about 'amoral ways'
So here's to you, Mr. Jay, you liven up winter
  even if your daily routine I can't print here...

Jiggly wiggly giggly glee
Trying to liven up my life with some free
Ugly Covid bad mood was my yesterday’s fee
Today I will have more fun than a satisfied queen bee.
Come by if you can at a quarter to three.
You can polish off this meatloaf and chili with me.
I could use your phone number.
You are not on the phone tree.
Jiggly wiggly giggle glee....

Men grunting 
Mothers sighing 
All wailing 
for the willing soul
With a lamenting pitch 
As he renders 
a resounding call 
With a rising Crescendo 
Prising into every heart
Wriggling while thrusting away
 from this wanton emptiness 
Seeking relief amidst his mortal folks
Hailing his willingness to abide 
As they rove around 
Daring fate to his face....

The groundhog said we’ll soon have spring
And later we’ll hear JoLo sing.
In Melbourne, Novak’s still the king
On this, a gloomy Sunday.

Impeachment’s hit a welcome pause
While Dershowitz invents new laws
Yet I am happy, just because
Today will be a fun day.

The grands will pay a visit soon
To liven up the afternoon.
To have them here is such a boon
It’s like a prize I’ve won day!...

Summer Rain 

Rainstorm

Midsummer’s voice bellows in the thunder.
It’s deep and husky as the heat is high.
Skylights flash in atmospheric wonder,
to clearly say a storm is passing by.
Forceful winds tear weak trees all asunder,
as the rain pours like silver from the sky.
Summer rain doesn’t like to fall alone.
It brings thunder to liven up the tone.

You can't be serious!!!
This must be a joke
To consider this yahoo
This really weird bloke

It's all a big put on
I have to ass/u/me
You guys are surely outta
Your cotton pickin' tree

It's a real big gimmick
To generate interest
No one can convince me
It's good for business

It's just meant to liven up
A dreary campaign
This yahoo for President
That's totally insane!!!...

Can Love Golfing Game Haiku

Golfing we will go
On great course that we all know
Will be fast not slow.

Game is never grim
Sand traps are a minimum
And other obstacles.

Broke a rule or two
To liven up my haiku
Bring it some justice.

According to all
Of my great calculations
Handicap is low.

Great golfers will be
And then maybe you and me
Can love our own game.

James Thomas Horn
But I am not a golfer.
Oh, dear.
