Haha, this applies to me too!
There's something really relaxing about this one. I love it.
Two trips to the store—
Because I forgot TP—
Under a warm sun.
Car brought to the shop,
dented, scratched, needing repair.
Aren't we all, sometimes?
Aren't the birds lovely,
Atop the sycamore tree
Singing their hearts out?
Sounds like you had a beautiful morning so far.
Definitely one of my better mornings :)
I wrote a haiku
In the dada style, but it's
A little creepy
...
This is a true story. I compose dadaist poetry (I use a method similar to Burroughs' cut-up method, so phrases rather than single words, usually) and sometimes I do haikus. I composed a random haiku for this prompt but it came out much darker than I anticipated, so I wrote the above one the old fashioned way, and I'll share that instead.
I'm not familiar with dadaist writing. I can't speak for others but I'd like to hear your haiku.
Take my kids to school,
Make food in a factory
Pizzas and pasta.
Chickadees dee-dee
Engines demand attention
Today I am quiet
My fingerprints lost
In the dishwashers water
My phone stays locked.
I laughed out loud at this one. Nice.
Work going so slow,
Who knows how long it will last,
Weekend here I come.
