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
Diane@BeStillaMinute says
Love it! :)
Saira says
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..
Jen says
I don’t really get it but I like the wine part. ;-)
Paula Kiger says
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. :-)
Barb says
I don’t get the haiku either, but I love to read Kat’s blog!
Paula, I agree with you!!
MarytheKay says
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.
tracy says
Love that you caught him mid-air. Awesome.
Reviewer11 says
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
jackie says
Love how you caught your son jumping like that!
Paula Kiger says
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!!
Tonya says
The wine line is my favorite. Cheers!
Andrea says
Oh yes can I have a glass too?
Cam - Bibs & Baubles says
Love the picture of him in mid-air. Very cool..
Erin says
I wouldn’t even know where to start with a Haiku, so yours is awesome!!
Sorta Southern Single Mom says
I should have done the haiku. I’m an elementary school teacher for goodness sake!
Dianna says
Super cute – picture and poem!
Had a difficult time choosing a prompt this week; there were a couple that interested me!
SaucyB says
slacking? Hardly. That was really clever. gave me a smile. ;)
Minivan Mama says
Give yourself some credit. I find your haiku completely relate-able.
Dani G says
Ha! Great haiku :)
Maggie S. says
Cool haiku.
I liked all prompts this week, it was hard to choose.
Carissa says
LOL, I like it!!!
Mrs. Weber says
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!
Peg says
I think I resemble that Haiku!
adventuresindinner says
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?
Corinne says
HAHAHA more wine please…that’s my holiday theme
hillary says
I liked it! Haiku has always intimidated me. And that pic was epic.
Jen says
Just the word Haiku is intimidating, I didn’t even have the guts to try. I’m with them! I think you did great!
kisatrtle says
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….
Arnebya @whatnowandwhy says
I LOVE him about to fall on his knees! And, um, switch wine w/tequila, and I AM VISITING!
Christy @ cat fur to make kitten britches says
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!
mommylisa says
I am a bigger slacker – I had my Haiku and didn’t post until today!
oysterblogger says
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!
Karen says
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.
