My moma's love is
huge, but she would love me more
if I had babies.
The problem I often find with haikus is that writing one is never enough. So here's a series of haiku especially for my moma:
Though I love you much,
I do a mean impression--
the day you pinched me.
You think I'm funny
But you judge me too--when I'm
"not even trying."
I've been poking fun
which isn't too respectful.
You can take it, right?
I bought you a gift
that will make up for meanness.
Happy Mother's Day.
Best moma ever.

ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're doing haikus.
They make me smile big.
It's true you see
ReplyDeleteHe/She is not me
I'm not that concise
And rarely that nice
I do poems that rhyme
At least most of the time
Instead of Haikus
Because I'm not concise.
And I love my Macbook
I agree with Ellen
ReplyDeleteMoma is the best ever
Though tied with Susan.
The above haiku
ReplyDeleteonly works with some effort
by slurring agree
My moma's not a fan
ReplyDeleteOf syllabic poetry
I think it's her loss.
Roses are red
ReplyDeleteViolets are blue
Rhymes are much better
Than any hiaku.
I'm with Moma on this one! However, Will thought about joining you and Joshua with a haiku or two of his own. But I guess he got too busy lying around waiting for back surgery to play.
ReplyDeleteI said I should post
ReplyDeleteone or two simple verses
to prove I am fun.
This is my first time
to author verse in haiku.
It is not that tough.
My spouse posts ill words
about her man in much pain.
I think I hate her.
I would join the fun, but a) Moma clearly writes the best poetry, and b) I once wrote a non-rhyming poem with magnetic poetry and it used up every bit of my lifetimes worth of creativity. It's still on Mac's fridge, if you want to read it.
ReplyDeleteRob's fridge poem rocks.
ReplyDeleteMy moma is funny too.
Will, don't hate your wife.
These comments thrill me.
Haikus must come here again.

ReplyDeleteI am doing well
the recovery is great
I really love her
It was a joke El
You know I don't hate Michelle
She is wonderful
I'm actually
Very pleased with the Haikus
They are very fun
Late to the party
ReplyDeleteNot good at making up rhymes
Better at counting
Long summer ahead
Want to hear "Cubs win. Cubs win!"
Not, "Wait til next year."
