Haiku Saturday

I used to do literary stuff on weekends: poetry, limericks, haiku, stories. They were very popular for a while, but I got out of the habit of doing it. Let's try it again!

Haiku is very easy to do. Your haiku MUST consist of three lines of five, seven, and five syllables. For example:

Morning light appears (five syllables)
The new day has awoken (seven syllables)
Nature stirs and sighs (five syllables)

Today your haiku must be about the first thing you see when you look up.

Here's mine:

Small, annoying dog
With large, goggly guppy eyes:
Why did I buy you?

    Oh my little boy.

    What are you thinking today?

    Too early to play.

    Before 7 am on Saturday.

    (I made a revision adding that last line, it was necissary!)

    Bob screams on speaker
    My clock says four forty five
    Welcome home mommy!

    A poet I'm not. Have a great weekend!

    Because I am so
    Annoying yet so cuddly,
    You amorous bitch.

    Rain turns into snow
    Cloudy skies and slushy roads
    White crowns on palm trees.

    wanting nothing more
    than to relax on the bed
    should I use the stairs?

    A poet I'm not
    But yet I'll give it a try
    In my next lifetime.

    Music will go on.

    Miracles happen.
    I am in Liberia,
    And blog, here, I will!

    **now really about the first thing I see, but then again, hotel rooms aren't too inspiring...

    Cheers!

    to think of something

    A memory from
    a picture of a place when
    the world was perfect

    strikes my eyes. I cry,
    when I contemplate, forever
    seems too long to wait.
