Haiku day

September 29, 2012 Leave a Comment

To Amanda’s place
Is how we spent this whole day
Still hard to believe

Brought the purple paint
Accent wall now Clematis
It looks like Barney

It will look better
Tomorrow paint second coat
Lots for us to do

Leave other walls same?
Or paint Rhapsody Lilac?
Change or not to change?

What makes this so hard
Painting is like leaving mark
Wall has become hers

Lining up her staff
Before Amanda can move
Wish it was all done

just Laurel

BTW – a HAIKU is a major form of Japanese verse, written in 17 syllables divided into 3 lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables

Hey – it’s me! just Laurel. I am just a 50-something year old mom who lives in southeastern Michigan. Married forever to the love of my life, Ted. We are just like any other family with kids out there: working hard and doing our best to raise great kids and to live as decent, moral people.
