feverish writing,
sure i won’t get it all done.
deadline comes: thursday.
inspriation flows
if time would cooperate
and kids sleep early
attempting poems
for the first time in eight years
(should be writing)
haikus bring release
from laundry and dishwashers
and girls who need baths.
writing these haikus:
fifteen minutes I wasted
not writing my book.
ten thousand words now
(I can’t believe it either)
spanning two projects.
conference is friday
i’m taking annie with me
(she’s the real writer)
Write a haiku in the comments about your life today (5, 7, 5).
Ha! This is good, I enjoyed it (though I will not attempt it). You should submit it to:
http://seedlingsinstone.blogspot.com/2009/03/poetry-of-comedy.html who currently has a writing challenge for the word ‘poetry’ and yours would be perfect:)
beautiful weather
calls for much play in the sun
with my baby boy
then onto the soccer field
for a high school game
to watch my first boy
have conference fun
with one of my favorite
writers: dear Annie
That was fun! Thanks. (Although I took much liberty and strayed away from the nature theme that is supposed to be haiku.) Haven’t done that since middle school!
Rain – thanks for commenting. and thanks for the tip!
SG – I LOVE THEM!!! =)
i need more coffee
but already too hyped up
maybe a decaf
Reviewing job apps.
Going blind; need diversion.
Ah, Twitter. Thank you.
I love haiku. I wrote about 10 per day when I was at high-school. Occasionally, one was good. Other people even thought so. Occasionally.
lovely autumn sun
bringing warmth on happy girls
playing, loving life
watching gratefully
thankful for the gift of life
God has given me
mothering two girls
bright, insightful, sweetheart gals
filling me with love
Thanks for your inspiration Sarah. I certainly didn’t expect that to come today when I went reading while my baby sleeps.
Hope you enjoy!
