Haiku Challenge Day 30

Jan. 30
Climbed hill to my car–
Vehicle retrieval day–
Still locked out of it.

A locked gate, locked car.
I climbed hill, over back seat,
Drove around the ditch.

Haiku Challenge Day 29

Jan. 29
Twenty-four hours,
Another bird casualty.
What’s wrong with window?

Winter snow day craft
Making hats for everyone–
New babies, of course.

Haiku Challenge, Days 26 & 28

I may have missed a day in the middle, but you'll see that I more than made up for it with today's haikus. It snowed in Alabama, an event that is about as rare as finding a four-leaf clover while blindfolded.

Jan. 26
Seasons fifty-two
flatbread, sushi, rainbow trout
Sister’s birthday meal.

Jan. 28
Injured cardinal
flew into window, now rests,
red against white snow.

Freddy’s snow journey:
Saved by Good Samaritan
on an ATV.

Swish, shuffle, crunch crunch
Snowball with a comet tail
Snow walk with Thomas

Broken window pane,
Locked out of my frozen car:
Sad discoveries.

Haiku Challenge Days 24 & 25

Jan. 24
Feathered clouds above,
singing “When I’m alone,” I
feel outside myself.

Jan. 25
Mom’s taking photos
of closet like it’s the way
into Narnia.

Haiku Challenge Days 22-23

Jan. 22
High school math problems:
Calculator dependence.
What is the square root?

Jan. 23
Underweight or “fat,”
Your worth is not a number.
God loves you the same.

Stolen Pixie Stix.
Who eats another’s candy?
Basketball players.

Haiku Challenge Days 18-20

Catching up on posting haikus. I have kept writing, I just forget to post them here. The only day I had zero inspiration was Jan. 17, so I'm skipping that day.

Jan. 18
Three coughers at home.
Let’s all cough in unison!
And that’s what they do.

Jan. 19
Bacon poisoning?
How much bacon did you eat?
A whole side at once.

Jan. 20
Do birds remember
Routines, flight patterns, weather?
Is today different?
