Snow

Snow snow snow snow snow
snow snow snow -- Whoops! Ice. Snow snow
snow snow snow snow snow.

Interrupting Mork

Your ceaseless chant of
"Nano-nano-nano" must
stop. It's time to write.

Avoidance, Part II

The void beckons me.
Hardwood under rythmic beats.
And now I must dance.

Avoidance

Thick, dense void; I fear
I cannot escape the pull
of your siren song.

Procrastination

Oh crass, tin nation,
you lure me with the promise
of greener pastures.

What I Learned About Zombies

Rotting flesh. No breath.
Subsist on fresh humans. But,
they are people too.

Querying

Phew! The submissions,
they have started. Now begins
eternal waiting.

Thanks for Your Support

Thank you everyone.
The tree sits near, the pen still.
Query here I come.

Almost a Novel

One pound of paper
Plus twenty months of hard work
MS almost done.

A Fine Way to Wake Up

Crashing, then screaming.
Shoes, purses, clothes, and baskets
All fell on my head.

Neglectful

"Oh hi," she whispers.
"It's funny seeing you here."
Guess she better post...

Wedding

Kentucky bluegrass,
no horses, only a priest.
And then she's all yours.

The Upside of Daylight Savings

The alarm wakes me.
I think it will be gloom, but
faint sunlight greets me.

Pause

My dear haiku blog,
I have not forgotten you.
Inspiration lags.

Morning Coffee

Soft steam envelopes
Caressing my skin, and, whoops,
Fogging my glasses.

Visit

Over the river
Through woods and some construction
to gramma's we go.

Clumsy

Doorknobs and counters.
Tables, chairs, and even walls.
They're out to get me.

Laundry

Gentle hum. Click clack.

More humming, then loud banging.

Coin in the dryer.

Worker Bee

"Hooray for Friday!"
For years a meaningless cheer.
Now it is my life.

Hockeytown

It's playoff season.
Pucks fly over melting ice.
Sudden death to win.

Eight-Legged Freaks

Shiver, racing heart.
Tiny legs crawl over my
Sleeping body. Gah!

Invasion

Squirrels and penguins
Squeaking night and day, alas
the toys will get me.

Paycheck

The work force beckons.
Endless free time replaced with
the nine to five life.

What Spring?

Sun shining, birds chirp
but deep inside my dungeon
all is in darkness.

More Haiku?

I haven't forgot
but I feel like I'm talking
to a black abyss.

Force of Habit

Legs splayed, belly flat.
Tile cools fur that's hot no more.
Froggy's here to stay.

Disbelief

I met a dog with
a head larger than my dog.
I will call him horse.

Joy

Bouncing fur and ball
the puppy loves his new yard.
Run, run, run, bark, run.

With the Good Comes the Bad

How quickly the snow
makes way for birds and flowers.
Allergies to come.

Droid

My sleek new cell phone
is paid for but not in stock.
Alas, not mine yet.

Tear

Surgeon's precision
Connecting bones and tendons
So glad it's not me.

Tranquility Interrupted

Early morning calm.
Deep breathes, eyes drift shut. But then
the puppy wakes up.

Lesson #3

A shriek. Screeching, then
Sputtering, grinding, growling.
Shifting into first.

SL

Frosty mist rises
revealing the still water
of the Grand River.

Weekend

Basketball, health care,
new car, birthday dinner, and
an amazing race.

March Nineteenth

Snow blankets the ground.
Quiet, solitude. I think
spring is on delay.

March Madness

Sunshine, college hoops.

Two forces conspiring to

keep me from my work.

St. Patrick's Day

A four-leaf clover,
green shirt and mug of green beer.
Birthday tradition.

Spring

How does that song go?
Robin red-breast in the sky...
Yep, that's what we've got.

Daylight Savings

When four becomes five,
morning comes too soon for me.
The puppy cares not.

Alternative Energy... continued

Three days without sun.
Lights are but a memory.
Scary darkness reigns.

A Downside to Alternative Energy

Clouds and solar lights
mean night falls into darkness
and I step in poop.

To My Husband

Happy birthday, love.
For seven days you will be
Older than me. *snort*

You Can Haiku -- Janna Qualman

When I need a break

I head to hoo's place, respite,

A little haiku.

Almost Spring

The sun peeks through clouds,
melting, warming, bringing life.
Spring is on its way.

To My Followers

I want to thank you
for writing the absolute
best comments ever.

Friday at 3pm

I'm off (in the van)
so wish me luck with driving
and the interview.

Bridesmaids

Dresses swirling 'round,
satin, tulle and taffeta.
Princess for a day.

I'm searching for words,
wanting my friends to submit.
Do you have haiku?

The Best Laid Plans

Coffee, music -- check.
Closed facebook and twitter -- check.
Now dog wants to play.

Threatku

*rubs hands together*
Twitter, you aren't the only
website with new words.

Freelancing

Boy scouts, asbestos,
shavers, fish oil, dog fences...
Now: affidavits.

Bureaucracy

The license is mine,
but now the library says,
"No card for you." *sigh*

One More Try

I come to you, oh
fickle government office.
My dream - a license.

You Can Haiku -- Adam Slade

Words put in order
Can delight, repulse, arouse,
or make my head hurt.

*****

"Melanie Hooyen-
ga Avila" takes up half
a bloody haiku.

*****

Editing, it's like
Taking a jigsaw apart
Then reconstructing

*****

Saying goodbye - it's
Harder then saying hello
On the first meeting.

*****

A big cup of tea
is akin to floating through
heaven in warm slacks.

*****

Crossbows make ping pong
ten times more fun, and fifty
eight times more lethal

*****

Sex and drugs and rock.
No roll, as that didn't fit
The haiku format.

*****

My muse has black wings,
they are used to cool my brain.
Also, deflect bullets.

*****

Dogs have two desires:
Feline extermination,
and tummy tickles.

*****

My dog Ollie wrote
this haiku, he believes that
the form can-- SQUIRREL!!!

Jillian

You say five more reps
But I know better than that
Finish strong my ...

Morning Snow

Gleaming and white,
how long will the freshness last?
Here comes the puppy...


Following a scent
Not knowing what's buried there
But certain it's good.

Three Hours

Flakes flutter upon
the drive, burying our steps,
preparing for play.

DMV

ID in hand, yet
told insufficient info
Come back on Monday.

Beginnings

Too many ideas
I must stop wasting my time
And yet I haiku.
