Thursday's Haiku

Rate: 12 Flag

 

i'm aggravated

thats nothing new around here

or anywhere else

*****************

getting some writing

done today, the kind you send

to other people

******************

air is cold and still

sky is white and cold looking

gauzy curtains help

*****************

there is much to do

i am still in my bathrobe

will it all get done?

*******************

my ankles are stiff

and inflexible, i'm told

like the rest of me

*******************

i am glad art james

and mikelk differ so,

so i can love both

******************

a poem a week

a great idea to those who

want to share the love

******************

i've been banned before

i kind of like it.  it makes

me feel dangerous.

*****************

winter is soon here

white snow and early night, will

not bring SADD this year

*****************

i shall play music

spin rainbows and volunteer,

visit my sister

********************

is it all enough?

will it ever be enough?

do i want too much?

***********************

i shall scrapbook, and

talk on the phone and eat better

and get through winter

********************

perhaps i shall plan

readings for the library

dickens and pirates

Wonderful chain of haikus. The format echoes your mood.
Loved the connectivity of your haikus making a wonderful story!
thank you lea and buffy!

you are right - a chain and connectivity - because i AM trying to really internalize that each decision leads to other consequences. which is far different from the whirligig arms waving way i have gone through life up till now.
You can't go wrong with Dickens and pirates and bathrobes and breakfast! Well done.
thank you miss zuma! i am dressed now, jftr... :-)
GOOD GOOD haiku.

how did you know this about me:

"there is much to do

i am still in my bathrobe

will it all get done?"
lol, monkey. i am dressed now, and now i think i will spend 15 minutes tidying. that 15 minute method can accomplish almost anything, if you let it.
Fun haiku romp along with you today! Got to get out of my robe now!
For once, I am actually dressed already --not even 10am yet here!

"get through winter"

Ooooh, that's a tough one for me too.
Hope you have a great day!
lovely haikus. you really rock the poetry thang. love love love
A life in Haiku. Womderdul idea. Wonderfully executed. cy
you can't go wrong with dickens and pirates...
hi all!

cathy - i think a robe should be accepted attire in this day and age.


spotted - i am psyching myself up and making all sorts of preparations - the number one of which, is CLEAN MY HOUSE.


teddy - thank you very much - sometimes i even agree with you - that i DO rock the poetry thang!

cy - thank you very much. i didnt think of it that way, but you are right - it IS a life in haikus!


and capn - thats what i always say!
I love the one about the bathrobe.
The gauzy curtain haiku is sublime.

Domo arigato Smithie-roboto...domo...(pause, pause, pause)....domo.
Holly, if you get tired of thoughts of winter, let me know. I can always post photos of sunny days in California and autumn leaves.

Frankly, I'm glad that I don't live in Alaska. I couldn't stand the weather there. At least here I know winter will be over by June. ;-D





Oh snap - almost forgot! Love the haikus/missed the friend thing but have corrected that oversight. :-D
i do just love when you say oh snap! i know - i had to make the same friend correction myself!

we will weather the winter!
