24/30. - National Poetry Month 2014

#1

Red wagon weather-worn

Trike, long parked pink handlebar

There's a storm brewing

#2

Chit chat squirrel tease 

relies on meow cat food

the sky perfect calm

#3

Pudding snack lunch pail 

Lullaby rocking chair sway

This is the way home

Challenge 2: February - A Poem a Day #21

Upside down swing queen
Monkey bar child, I once was
The ground is dashing

Sugar sweet with cream
Banana split cherry top
My favorite shirt

Bang! Sky filled with zing
monotonous fireworks crash
Blue wave ocean screams

Installation Art... or... Fun with Cups and Mugs and a Spoon

When I woke up today, I had no idea this would happen.

Not only did my co-worker Danny discover a boatload of cups, he also made them into an installation art piece in the hallway at work.

We call it "Mugs on a Rail," or "Cups. Cups on a rail. Cups, for sale." Take your pick.

If I were to haiku it, it would go something like this:

Cups, cups on a rail

Myriad of cups for sale
Trip and that's the end

Thank you, and good afternoon. (Even if it's not afternoon).

Haiku Me -- Because I Can

These don't make much sense...

Silly little flower
With the polka-dotted chest
Flip-flop stands aghast

Red sky doomsday cloud
streaked with orange and grey
Smiling children play

Red jeep car door slam
Smells of gasoline and rest
Potato chips laugh

These are about my cats...

Sleepy striped face Finn
Pulls the stuffing from the couch
Moths laugh at lamp beams

Wide eyes follow me
My sweet little skip-a-roo
Wiffle balls are best

Perfection is here
My angel and bestest pal
Play ribbon right now!

And now I've written a few haikus.

That is all.

Here's a link about haikus that I found useful (and then chose to mostly ignore).
