Today was bad luck
Got pulled over by the cops
My license was expired.
Kids ask “Mom what’s wrong?”
“Why is that cop mad at you?”
“Will I make it to school?”
Kids were late for school.

Still working
Oho! I already wrote a haiku this morning (it’s my standard thing on my MySpace):
“A Haiku on a Sign From the Universe or Maybe Just the Pixies That Not Everything Is Wrong”
When your daughter asks,
“More ‘Broken Face’?” in the car,
you’re doing all right.

April 17th, 2007 at 2:31 pmIt seems there is no end in sight
Those May flowers better be damn pretty
And that’s all I have to say about that
My nose is stuffed.

April 17th, 2007 at 2:52 pmGrey, cold, damp drizzling rain.
This is a spring day?
The heavens pour rain.
April 17th, 2007 at 2:57 pmI hear this upon the wind:
Move to Florida.
Sixty hour work weeks,
April 17th, 2007 at 3:02 pmHave finally come to an end,
Too bad I had to pay the tax man,
And have no money to spend.
Nothing else to do
April 17th, 2007 at 3:18 pmI’ll write another haiku
Have a prize from you?
From my own archive of Haiku:

God damn belly fat
baseball in the spring
April 17th, 2007 at 4:33 pmeach night wet, cold and windy
all for my children
Rain and Snow do suck
But the weather seems to fit
Tears at VA Tech.
(In memory of the victims of yesterdays shootings)
April 17th, 2007 at 4:34 pmSpring will never come
Snow, ice, rain and floods instead
Many drinks needed
Or
Children yelling loud
April 17th, 2007 at 5:10 pmHead pounding and ears bleeding.
Calgon take me away.
My first haiku. Go easy on me.
Wet spits down slowly
April 17th, 2007 at 5:18 pmGardens sick with drought recoup
Summer heat? Stand by
Three weeks - house is still
for sale. Now the rain; basement
floods. Send springtime sun!
what a great exercise (if not a great entry)!
April 17th, 2007 at 5:24 pmThis rain sucks but here’s my shot @ optimism.
April showers make happiness
April 17th, 2007 at 5:34 pmWhen poured in the place
Where illegal plants grow
dreams of youth destroyed
April 17th, 2007 at 5:38 pmthrough anger twisted, untempered
by laws of our land
I wrote this one a few weeks ago for my little sister:
At work: Bob Marley
April 17th, 2007 at 6:24 pmA nice break from the Eagles
Makes me think of you.
Three weeks ’til school’s out,
April 17th, 2007 at 6:37 pmI should finish my thesis.
I’d rather read your blog.
Blender’s lonely
April 17th, 2007 at 6:38 pmWhat to do with snow?
Margaritas! Where’s the lime?!
It’s in the training:
Boy sings, “Oh God, It’s raining…”
Likes his Depeche Mode.
April 17th, 2007 at 7:27 pmOKAY! Don’t know who the Tyler-lurker person is that popped over and slammed my haiku via my own blog comments. I got the ‘ole, “And you call yourself a Christian.”
So, is this better?
**************
Praying with children.
April 17th, 2007 at 7:33 pmSinging hymns all night long.
Burning my make-up.
Sorry. That was horribly sarcastic.
And I call myself a Christian ….
April 17th, 2007 at 7:34 pmWoke up late…
April 17th, 2007 at 7:59 pmMy daughter got into all my stuff
Forgot to set the coffee machine last night so i had none this morning
Taxes due today.

Florida Sunshine calls!
April 17th, 2007 at 9:22 pmOnly nine days to go
School has CHICKEN POX!!!!
Depression is mine
April 17th, 2007 at 9:28 pmI wallow in sorrow and
look for a way out.
April was gloomy
April 17th, 2007 at 10:57 pmUntil sunrise on Friday:
First grandson was born!
My heart will ache today
April 17th, 2007 at 11:14 pmAlthough my child safe in bed
A mother’s cry heard overhead.
The book is finished
The liturgies are complete
Now I am so done
It is raining now
April 17th, 2007 at 11:55 pmBut there are no tornadoes
Just a soaked backyeard
Stagecoach Days are over
April 18th, 2007 at 12:52 amNow it’s time to play
Cruise ship here we come
I want my boobs back
April 18th, 2007 at 12:57 amFourteen months seems oh so long
To be lactating
Rain and snow, go away.
April 18th, 2007 at 12:57 amCome again some other day.
Some day in December, please.
Watching the snow drizzling.
April 18th, 2007 at 2:37 amI toyed with the idea of,
ONE MORE CHILD.
Insanity! But why not?
Maybe, one more girl.
Fat
thousands of tiny
April 18th, 2007 at 3:16 amlife preservers that float but
refuse to deflate
Twenty-three-year-old
April 18th, 2007 at 5:03 amsnoring in the basement.
Where is my empty nest?
Make hay in the rain
April 18th, 2007 at 5:13 amlove grows stronger through practice
but not in the snow
Blond eyelashes curl up
April 18th, 2007 at 7:50 amA pink cheek curves softly down
Adoration lovely
haikus have no order
no rhyme no reason
kind of like my life
right now in this season
(oh wait, it did rhyme)
April 18th, 2007 at 8:03 amstuck on an island
rain and water everywhere
still never alone
or
wind blows loud outside
April 18th, 2007 at 8:19 amwe hide under the covers
reading warms us all
Child’s whines surround me
April 18th, 2007 at 8:50 amWatch my patience drain from me.
Calgon does not work.
Spring out the window!
April 18th, 2007 at 9:09 amWalking! Hiking! Baseball! YAY!
Snow bitch-slaps my joy.
Last verse too long, Chris.
April 18th, 2007 at 10:29 amThat’s the problem with Haiku.
Have too much to say.
bgirl,
You are RIGHT! In my head I was saying the word ‘along’ with one syllable but clearly it has two.
Oh now I must revise….
April 18th, 2007 at 11:10 amMove to Hawaii
Paradise doesn’t come cheap
You want WHAT?! for rent?!
as I look at 3 bedroom houses with no AC that are priced at $2500 a month. I’ve lived there before but I don’t remember it hurting the pocket THIS bad.
April 18th, 2007 at 11:51 amCool but sunny here.
April 18th, 2007 at 12:00 pmBaby’s first trip to the zoo.
What sound make giraffes?
Spring is upon us
April 18th, 2007 at 12:14 pmRain and wind and cold please go
Kids IN for spring break!
Giraffes baa like sheep. I was just talking to a friend about this last week. I didn’t know that they made any sounds at all. I was dissapointed.
April 18th, 2007 at 9:25 pmI know the contest is over, but I wrote my very first haiku, so I had to post it:
Long days, endless fits.
April 20th, 2007 at 3:43 amWhy can’t my two-year old fly
Unaccompanied?
I live in the sun
April 23rd, 2007 at 11:23 pmand it is more fun
but still it isn’t the
same if we don’t get rain.
