Baby Haiku

A baby inside.
How the hell did that happen?
Well, I know, but still....

Parker Emma

chastising

"I'm standing right here!"
He said to me. Next time I'll
Look before I blame.

Charlotte

Eight legged creature
Delicate gossamer web
Glistens with dew drops

Spring life

Delicate green stem
Wind blows the velvet petals
Fabulous purple

Save the World

tiara, yes please
brightly shining moon and stars
existence brilliant

banter

snow slops big drops down
crab pickles zucchini yum
lord, smoars! big tasty

3pm

out of wack the stairs
cold rain drops pitty pat splat
coffee bound I go

Haiku

click clack the keys chime

up here on my haiku horse

boundaries no where

Take off your cool

8ths swing on cool

Trane finds the way, Miles away

heads nod jazz is love

Mystify

Query of destiny
Sparkles in the sky above
What does it all mean?

SAS

Libname data step
Add a few procs, don't forget
The semincolon

Ahhhh...life in the country

horizon glows red
the militia has arrived
call patrick swayze

NCNE

longitudes divide

far away but near my heart

0 2 8 and 9

Air conditioning
Blowing on my head; why is
It on in winter?

untitled for now

slithering slowly
cobra person glides across
the sharpest green blades

Randy, Paula and Simon

Little pitchy, dawg
You know what's great about you...
Very cabaret

Longitudes

Longitudes become

a path of discovery

for new adventures

Pregnancy

Peanut butter toast
Graham crackers and jello
My first trimester

tired

scraaaatch, flicka...stop!

a crumbling crispy leaf

tires at days end

blue

blue is the color
above us never below
soothing and endless

botany blues

gingko tree breathing
shapely leaves flutter slowly
green fans smooth and soft

itchy foot

tickle tickle at

my toe. will not go away

scratching helps a bit

wishing

pebbles smooth as glass
azure blue wave curl slowly
starfish lying still

Valentines Day

chocolate and flowers

come but one day every year

I must be lucky?

Looking ahead

ahhh...light dawns upon

a wondering mind.  begin

a future vision

wicked rain

drip drop, pitter pat

it smacks me right in the eye

oh rain you bully

broken and weeping
my heart is a tombstone now
no blooms only pain

Haiku to you

Welcome to your Haiku outlet. Inspired by a dinner I had with Miss Muscle and Fitness USA in 2005 in a restaurant named HAIKU, I have decided to continue the wave of inspiration. Haiku isa beautiful Japanese rastaurant in Columbus, Ohio where the Arnold Classic is held. Instead of offering customers brain teasers such as trivia or historical facts to past the time while they wait for food, Haiku asks the customers to challenge their literary brain by writing their own Haiku.

From this one-time experience, I have been writing Haiku on a fairly regular basis. However, once I began a doctoral program, my recreational Haiku went by the wayside. Reinspired by sharing my dreams and ideas with friends, I have decided to pick up the practice again. Only this time, I would like you to join me.

Please send me your Haiku. I would love to read them. Accompany them with photos and drawings as well. Most importantly, tell me what you think about the writing.

Enjoy.
