Recapitulation Situation - A Haiku
I composed this during my daughter's speech therapy session this morning. It's based on a 7-9-7 construction; i.e., 1st line=7 syllables, 2nd line=9 syllables, 3rd line=7 syllables.)
Last night I gazed at the moon
It was not yet high up in the sky
Such beauty wrapped up in darkness
I almost reached out for it
And captured it with my camera --
Alas, 'twas untouchable.
Crawling to the computer,
Through the night I wrote and wrote and wrote --
My muse, my inspiration.
Without sleep I wrote till morn;
I finally headed for slumber,
But woke up when the phone rang.
Hung up the phone, fell asleep,
Minutes later, wake up get dog out --
Hop in car and drive to park.
Town still asleep, sun not up
Walk in the park and sing songs to God --
Goodnight Moon; Goodnight, Sun.
Now I sit here, eyes wide tired,
My head hurts, eyes hurt -- must stay awake
Till I can return to bed.
Daughter at speech therapy
Plays games with teacher, asking questions --
Helps teacher answer questions.
Hearing aid in disrepair:
Dog chewed on it, thought was a chew toy --
Insurance will give us check.
New ear molds not come in yet --
Don't know if company got order
So new ear molds made from goo.

Baseball Strike Haiku also posted at Journey Inside My Mind
Following the traditional 5-7-5 construction, I offer this in 'honor' of the current baseball situation...
Will baseball strike out?
Do I really care anymore?
Time to watch football
