    Parti-color rain

    of fall leaves carpets the lawn.

    The wind sighs aloft.

    It poked out for a minute

    Just to say hello!

    Quiet in the house

    I find myself reading books

    And reading more books!

    -----

    I should be sewing

    Or making my jewelry

    Even crocheting

    ----

    Yet I am reading

    With the sewing machine out

     And yarn all around

    ----

    Well I am reading

    Sitting in my favorite chair

    Reading anyway! 

    LOL.  Tomorrow I better catch up on my to do list. So I'll probably be reading til o dark hundred hours..... LOL

    Tomorrow I trudge

    For a magnesium test

    Well, I guess I'll see!

    There's more appointments

    Than I can shake a stick at!

    Beginning again.

    I have been going to many of these since I failed my NED tests. I will have to study harder next time! No really, once again crawling up from the basement of my mind. Feeling a bit sorry for myself for a while there. Kind of back to the numb stage I was in when I first found out I had lumpies. It'll get better I am sure.

    F*ck it Red! That sucks and we'd make anyone b*TCH and moan!  Thinking about you. 

    And sorry go hear about the problems with the Muslim idiots up there. 

    Much love and many hugs.

    The sun shine warmly

    Upon my upturned face. Smiles 

    Returning slowly.

    Thanks Monica

    There have been too many of these events. This haiku is for all the nut-jobs who think it's OK to walk into a place and kill people.  Religious extremists or not, WTF.

    I don't get it.  WHY?

    Your acts are no solution.

    Pointless cowardice.

    The birds know it's dawn

    Even before sun comes up

    They sing in the day

    A parfait of clouds

    Layers colored by the sun

    Setting in the west

    Moon likes Halloween,

    This is fairly obvious,

    From costume and toys.

    Monica, how would I make this one better? My intention is there, but it is to choppy and not fully explanatory. Can you rewrite it so that I can get an idea of how to phrase myself more succinctly? 

  • moonflwr912

    I think it's fine. But maybe I'd do this?

    Moon likes Halloween

    From the costumes and the toys

    This is obvious!

    The "joke" or  " punchline" at the end seem to make the Haiku funny. And I love funny ones as you can tell. LOL

    What a fun thread! Can I play too? Here is one I came up with on a day that I had a lot of time on my hands...

    I'm the tiny bug

    Inside the woodpecker's tree

    Endless MRI

    Shutterbug, I started laughing as soon as I read that. My DH wanted to share so I read it to him. He didn't get it. I guess it loses something if you haven't had an MRI. LOL

    Be gone aches and pains,

    You don't count now, I got my

    Coveted dx

    haha moon! we live in a neighbor hood where no kids dare go. It's become quite the "hipster" neighborhood. All the kids are teens and into other stuff, like making bands, making art, stuff like that. And then now those hipsters are having babies! strollers and stuff everywhere! businesses give treats to kids. i just meant i didn't go any where or do anything! So no-one could tell if i was there!

    Red, I am so happy to see your tagline change! did you get my pm, or did i write it then not send it? I am glad you are good!

    welcome shutterbug, great mri haiku

    I have always loved that poem Moon, so i will recreate the first verse here...

    Yesterday, upon the stair,
    I met a man who wasn't there.
    He wasn't there again today,
    I wish, I wish he'd go away...

    Second verse is kind of creepy so we won't go there! Lol.

    Thanks for all the good wishes everyone. I am so relieved and wanted to share it with you.

    Kathec, yes you sent me a PM, but it is month end and I just don't computer during that time (except to share my good news with everyone) so I am afraid I didn't answer. But thanks so much for asking and being there to support me. (((hugs)))
