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?

Anchor thy ceiling fan well.

Handsome is my face.

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.

Hee hee. Hoss 1, Freda 0

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?

You write brilliantly
With words that speak to us all
You're just amazing~

Fred said...

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

to her own surprise.

Taylor clips his nails.
Guitar god's nails must be right.
Music will go on.

Enjoy what's left of the weekend.

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!

Oh, great, like a tag,
It's too much trouble for me

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.
