This is a place for posting haiku on just about any topic. Make it funny. Make it serious. Just make it a poem that is 5 syllables in the first line, 7 syllables in the second line, and 5 syllables in the last line. That's the requirement: fit the structure of the haiku 5/7/5 rule.
We talk today about our free-ranging youths, marvelling how our moms (and mums) would send us off in the weekend mornings or summer days and never begin to wonder where we might be until it was time for dinner. If they were enablers, as my mother certainly was, they would help in the preparation of our all-day absences, packing bag lunches and changes of clothing and towels for the pool or the sprinklers or the creek. All this at the ages of 7 or 8. They were secure in the knowledge that we... Read Full Story

Once again, it's Haiku Friday ! My haiku today will honor Braden, in celebration of his One Year Birthday, Wednesday, October 16th, 2006. The first piece was written a few years ago.

ANOTHER MOLAR THIS WEEK. It has been hell, to say the least. It peeked through on Tuesday, and has been hurting him all week. Peer in there, on the lower, left side. Hence, these Haiku. Molar makes its way Gouging, grinding, tearing gum Poor lil’ man in pain. Trying hard to help Nothing I do makes it end Ice cream is like gold. He tries hard to sleep His mouth objects to slumber No solace tonight. Please sleep just a bit? Oh no, he's screaming again. Padded room awaits me. Read Full Story

I was, in fact, happy to get to go. I like hanging out with the lad.] This was my third trip to the Richardson Bay Audubon Center. I also got to accompany Eldest and Daughter on their field trips there, lo, these many years ago. I've got two 'ku to help kindle my memories of it. The first relates to our... Read Full Story
