There is much controversy on the sky trails seen in my area. These are the white trails left from planes flying overhead.
Some say they are contrails (condensation) and some say they are chemtrails (chemicals).
Every day I see many of these trails–sometimes 3 or 4 at a time–it does cause one to wonder what they really are….

Upon thinking about this week’s Haiku Horizon Challenge–Week 49–Prompt: Play , the weather inspired me to write this Haiku as it seems Spring is playing around with Winter here in our part of the country. The last few days we have had unseasonably warm weather in Portland, Oregon. The temps have been in the mid sixties and the air has had a springtime feel to it. The higher elevations are receiving even warmer weather! The temps have been 68-70 degrees near Mt. Hood! We know it’s too early for Winter to leave us but it seems Spring is trying to come back early! I am definitely not complaining! 🙂
Currently there are about 4000 people (men, women, children) who are homeless in Portland, OR.
News reports say the number of homeless children in the US is rising.
This poem was written to raise awareness of the Homelessness in Portland, OR.

A mind full of thoughts
Caused loss of sleep, I wake early.
Beautiful sunrise!

Majestic
Snow capped mountain rises
Before me.
Awestruck!
I never cease to be amazed
At the sight of it.
