Sheer Poetry

Stripes, gray and white stripes, 
I love you so much,
 I wrote
this haiku for you.

That haiku was lame, 
I will try again. oh crap.
out of syllables.




Uh-oh, I smell another impromptu haiku contest!
Best haiku left in the comments will be chosen by a panel of judges (my mom)
and will receive something random in the mail from me!

    Stripes like river waves
    Flowing toward the wooded floor
    Let it flow? Damn it.

    I found you sadly
    sitting in a damp garage.
    Now you are stripey.

    stripes cascading down
    glistening through the soft clouds
    stripes make me happy

    cause stripes made me sick.

    loving hands and paint.

    Then me and the chair got stripes
    Now we’re the shiz-nit!

    I’d write a haiku,
    but my four kids are screaming.
    You know how it is.

    This sounds better if you imagine a gong sound after the second line…

    A dresser speaks of
    white ripples in grey water
    put away your laundry

    If only I had the FAINTEST clue how to write a haiku.

    OH, but I did rhyme. Does that count for something? Of course it does.

    Cool dresser.

    Stripes brought first love
    Then with horror,
    “Does this make me look fat?”

    I really love this dresser and winning things is fun!

    I am so confused
    Are they stripes or big chevrons?
    It makes my head hurt

    Thought they were straight
    then I looked harder
    they were starting to wave.

    I googled Haiku
    Now I am educated
    I can’t stop doing it

    So all the day long
    I sit and wait for new posts
    Thinking of Haikus

    Now Easter is here
    I wish for pastel redo’s
    Maybe you’ll grant it.

    Kill me now.

    Chevrons are awesome
    Even when they are subtle
    They make me happy

    You know something else?
    Better After makes me cry
    With big tears of joy

    Each morning I wake
    Make a giant cup of joe
    And check the transformations

    Then I get inspired
    And out come the paint supplies
    Hubby gets nervous

    He likes when I’m done
    And admits it is awesome
    I win. Yes. I win.

    LOL.
