I am attempting to scour my apartment...and I am beginning to hate everything I own...clothes, etc. there's just too much of it!
So I was cleaning out a box, and I found this article that I had ripped out of a Real Simple, who knows how long ago it was...it's called "my year in haiku" by Kathryn Higgins. Here are some highlights...I shall attempt my own later today, perhaps cleaning will inspire me!
Daylight saving time.
Oblivious, I go to
church an hour late.
The spring comes again;
it's time to file taxes-
lots of money gone.
Frozen food again.
No time to cook a good meal-
no complaining please!
Fall is here at last!
My neighbors' leaf blowers roar
while I rake and rake.
A soccer mom bends
to tie her son's shoelaces.
What's that? A thong? Ugh!
Decorate the tree.
Cook and bake and clean a lot,
then take down the tree.
I awaken with
clear head; unfortunately
it's also empty.
Creative little idea don't you think? I think I shall try to write a haiku for each month and keep it somewhere, or maybe have my students write haiku's each month and put them in a book...can 2nd graders write haiku's?? We'll see!
