Haiku Series #2

Winter’s First Snow

Big snowflakes arrive

Floating gracefully downward

Stuck in a snow drift!

 

Spring Showers

April rains pour down

Bringing smiles to the farmers

Tractor trapped in mud!

 

Young Driver

 Feeling confident

Driving for the second time

Oops—fender bender!

 

Dead Battery

Arctic morning—brrr!

Baby on the way today

Start the car—nothing!

 

Spring’s First Color

Transplanted last fall

Reaching towards the warm sun

Beautiful tulips

 

Exercise Bike

Alarm rings again

Time to pedal for fitness

Hit the snooze again!

 

 

 

Haiku Series #1

Author’s Note:  My high school grandson challenged me to try writing a haiku.  I accepted the challenge.  Here are a few selections.

 

Fall Colors

Orange, red, golden

Bright, brilliant, autumn colors

Disappear too fast

 

 

Jigsaw Puzzle

Brain teasers challenge

Puzzling pieces fit somehow

Where’s the missing piece?

 

 

Gymnast in Motion on Bars

Bar changes, dismount

Shootover, exciting, straddle back

Dynamite Simone

 

 

Field Goal

Soccer style kick

Eyes on the ball, relaxed stance

Oops . . . wide to the left!

 

 

Ballet Dancer

Graceful pirouettes

Grand allegro, grande jete

What’s all of this jazz?
