Hurry up and post the rest you've missed!  It's the last day of Haiku month!

Waiting on the snow

Daisy-Head Mayzie
grew a flower on her head

Today is Thursday
February twenty eighth

Titled Haiku

On taking your Mom's clothes to Goodwill

The thing about it
is that you never really
believe that she's gone.

Annabelle could knit.
The box of yarn was magic.
She transformed her town.

In a crib last night
so far away from Mama
my baby boy slept.

(A huge favorite with the kids!)

Water, milk, V8
No sweet yummy drinks for me
This year's little Lent.

It's Valentines Day!
Books and friends and family
Are things that I love.

Oh, Budget Meeting.
I'm flummoxed!  Ambushed by my
own naivete.

Sleepy six o'clock
Thursday mornings are rotten
Wednesday nights; too late

Two! Haiku

Rita Katherine
lively, loving, bold and kind
Grammy's sparkle shines.

Happy Birthday Katie Bug!

Haiku!

February is National Write Haiku Month (NaWriHaiMo).  In the Library, I'm posting a haiku for each day, and the February challenge for the kiddos is to read five books and write a haiku about each one.  I thought it might be fun to keep track of my haiku here. 

2/1/13

February days
are short and cold and perfect
for writing haiku.

2/4/13

Crescent moon morning
tinted sky from blue to gold
on the way to school.

2/5/13

Snuggly warm baby
wrapped in blankies and in love
as I leave the house.

Ooh-maybe you'd better comment in haiku!  ;)
