Haiku To You Too

Time once more for Mama Kat’s Writer’s Challenge.

Being short of time and long of tooth, I choose to persue

3.) Write a Haiku that describes what you love about an ordinary day.
(inspired by Jade from Now that I’m no longer 25…)

as my topic of choice.

The Ordinary Day Haikus
Morning comes upon us
Life renews again
A gift from the sun
Snow atop
Rain below
The mountain reigns
Hot dry itchy wind
Cold wet soothing stream
Balance is inherent

Writer’s Wednesday

The Mama Kat Writer’s Challenge is upon me once more. The challenge for this week offered the following choices:

1.) Tell us about a lie you told that you later regretted.

2.) Choose a task you’d like someone to complete and write a poem asking them to do it.

3.) Describe a talent you have.

4.) Write a list of ten things on your mind this week.

I decided to do the poems of request for my challenge this week. To make it really challenging for the wordy person that I am, I decided to do them in variant Haiku style. (I disclaim all responsibility for anyone who dies reading this!)

On the subject of getting the train whistles to calm down:

Sorrowfully wailing

Noisy train near

No whistling here

On the federally mandated water treatment:

Sparkling water clear

Federally mandated

You pay for it

-or-

Eight million years OK

One senate session not

Idiots abound

Now it is up to you to do your own challenge.
