last year’s hail storm
wholly destroyed shade garden;
cautious replanting
~~~
Night at Museum
with one hundred fifth-graders;
hope no one throws up
~~~
I have seen great things;
both of my sons being born
by far the coolest
~~~
the breeze is making
wind chimes sing and trees
dance like Hula girls
~~~
lilac bush in bloom
scent drifting in the back door–
so very pleasant!
~~~
wild turkey walking
around our driveway just now–
oh, what does it bode?
~~~
I don’t have parties
but my pulse says that my heart
wants a new lampshade
~~~
These seven haiku were inspired by my friends’ Facebook status updates. In a couple of cases, I combined updates of two different people. I trimmed or added a few words here and there to fit the form, but tried to leave the essence of the thoughts intact.
