You are always surprising us with new stuff everytime you write a new post! 😀

I've liked very much you Haikus, but if I have to choose one it would be "The next morning" 😁

I have to say that this is the first time I read Haikus in English and I have enjoyed very much the experience. I have some friends who write Haikus and it's amazing that a big story can be told in a very few words!

Keep going, you are such an artist!! 😀

For some reason I missed this comment. Thank you so much, Sara! That means a lot coming from you. I’m glad you enjoyed the poems. I’ll be sure to write some more in the future.

“A Confession” is my favorite. The dish pile never ends! I even have a dishwasher for the first time in 6 years and the pile still seems endless. 😂

My husband and I texted each other haikus in our first year of dating. He didn’t know it, but I’d been saving them all so at the end of the year, I made him a book with photos and all our haikus printed alongside them. They’re such a fun way to express little (and yet profound) moments like these! Now I want to write some again.

Wow! That’s so cool. A book of collected haikus! I’d love to see you writing some again.

Bahahaha. I laughed out loud when I read "The Next Morning". "Coffee" made me feel all fuzzy inside. I love your haikus! Welcome back, amigo!

Thanks! I’ll surely be regaling y’all with more, then!

Stink bugs are the bane of my existence! They like to land on the lightest thing in the room, and sometimes at night, that means ME 😫.

Cats are awesome. I loved the story above about finding Vineri 😸

Yay! Go Vineri! Thanks for reading.

Glad you took some time for yourself, but also happy to see you (officially) back on here! I enjoyed reading the haikus (and I’m still reading through your post from last week)-I can also relate to The Next Morning, and I join in with everyone who has said that they feel the same about A Confession. This may have been short, but it has said many, many words!

Love these Haikus. The stink bug is timely as they’ve infested our area. Still killing them here.

Expand full comment

Do your cats take part in the killing? For some reason I remember you mentioning you had cats. If that’s wrong, please correct me.

You remember well. We have an outdoor cat. I'm not sure he's partaken in the stink bug assassinations.

The Next Morning made me LOL.

Haha, thanks Kristin! That was the first that I ever composed, and I was a little nervous it might be too on the nose. Glad to see it landed.
