5.) Write a Haiku for Fall and pair it with a favorite Fall photo you’ve taken this year.
Have I mentioned how terrible I am at Haikus? Nonetheless, I’ve prepared a Haiku for you to view…inspired by Fall and my delightful son:
Fall brings leaves off trees.
Jumping boy falls to his knees.
Pour me more wine please
I’m such a slacker…this week is really all about you…let’s see what you’ve got!
Now it’s your turn!
Choose a prompt, post it on your blog, and come back to add your name to the link list below. Be sure to sign up with the actual post URL and not just your basic blog URL (click on the title of your post for that URL). For good comment karma try to comment on the three blogs above your name!!
The Prompts:
1.) Follow the template I copied from The Pioneer Woman without her permission and list 22 things you’ve never done.
2.) Tell about a time you accidentally “replied all” or sent an email to the wrong person by mistake.
3.) Describe a meal your spouse actually cooks better than you.
4.) Share the story behind your current Facebook and/or Twitter profile photo.
5.) Write a Haiku for Fall and pair it with a favorite Fall photo you’ve taken this year.

Love it! :)
Marcy they are beautiful haiuks! I love the accompanying photos and think this is a fabulous way to capture a week. Thanks for Rewinding and sharing this xMultipleMum recently posted..
I don’t really get it but I like the wine part. ;-)
I think it has to do with how airborne children in proximity to furniture/sharp edges/other children/etc. make you want to run for the wine. At least that’s the effect airborne children have on me. :-)
I don’t get the haiku either, but I love to read Kat’s blog!
Paula, I agree with you!!
Well, you say you’re not good at haikus, but yours is FUNNY. Whatcha cooking up in that picture? Pumpkin muffins, I hope. They’re my favorite. I wish you were my neighbor who loved bringing me freshly baked muffins all the time… Dangit.
Love that you caught him mid-air. Awesome.
Wow, you posted this so fast. :) Awesome!
I don’t remember what exactly a Haiku is besides it being a poem, but I do have the article explaining that from “Writer’s Digest.” But I decided to pick #1. It was fun! :D
Love how you caught your son jumping like that!
Me? I’m just surprised it took until line 3 to get to the wine. :-)
I have a friend who does Haiku Thursday on her Facebook page. It leaves you praying that the words that convey exactly the frentic chaos you are trying to get across squeeeeeeze into that 5/7/5 construction. Not easy but irresistible!
Love it that the Linky is up so early – thank you!!
The wine line is my favorite. Cheers!
Oh yes can I have a glass too?
Love the picture of him in mid-air. Very cool..
I wouldn’t even know where to start with a Haiku, so yours is awesome!!
I should have done the haiku. I’m an elementary school teacher for goodness sake!
Super cute – picture and poem!
Had a difficult time choosing a prompt this week; there were a couple that interested me!
slacking? Hardly. That was really clever. gave me a smile. ;)
Give yourself some credit. I find your haiku completely relate-able.
Ha! Great haiku :)
Cool haiku.
I liked all prompts this week, it was hard to choose.
LOL, I like it!!!
Both of those are simply adorable photos to be treasured!
And what is it with kids making us want to drink MORE wine? Here’s a virtual glass for you and me – cheers!
I think I resemble that Haiku!
Love Thursdays! Thanks for the Navel Gazing opportunity. Appologies to everyone for the general link, I just bought my domain and the switchover has been a bit dicey.
Anyone know how to get my wonderful foolowers back?
HAHAHA more wine please…that’s my holiday theme
I liked it! Haiku has always intimidated me. And that pic was epic.
Just the word Haiku is intimidating, I didn’t even have the guts to try. I’m with them! I think you did great!
I love it! I don’t know why you don’t write more of these. I’m coming over for wine! God this week has been long….
I LOVE him about to fall on his knees! And, um, switch wine w/tequila, and I AM VISITING!
Love it! Especially the “more wine please” part. Haikus usually make me think there is some deeper, hidden meaning that I’m somehow just not getting…..but this, this I get!
I am a bigger slacker – I had my Haiku and didn’t post until today!
thanks for this fun exercise…I love your blog evolution and all your consistency at being an attention craving poodle and all that~ yeah I wrote my haiku but barely posted it tonight too!
Why has it taken so long to find your site? LOVE IT!! Of course now I’ve used up my allotted computer time for the day – aka baby is waking up! – so I won’t be able to give you a haiku. Will definitely be back to participate in the writing fun soon.
