Haiku

At the beginning of the month, I decided to start on another goal from The List:

025. Write 1 haiku per day for 1 month

Originally I planned to update every 5-10 days, but that fell by the wayside as I became distracted by blogging about chocolate!

Now we're halfway through the month, I have 15 attempts at haiku, so it's time I posted them!
The dates are noted as proof that I have been writing one each day ;)

Mostly I've used the happenings of the day to inspire me: a birthday, a lost button, the weather, and so on. 

01/06/14

Chipped water glasses

Languish dusty in cupboard

Waiting to be filled

02/06/14

Gurgle, grumble, groan--

Monster disliked his last meal

What a stomach ache!

03/06/14

The fastest haiku

I nearly went to my bed

Without writing one!

04/06/14

Pop! Clatter! Ping! Oh!

Tiny missile takes journey

I lost a button

05/06/14

Red-crowned head rises,

Silken shreds of ribbon stir—

Sunrise: the cock crows

06/06/14

Spiders scatter forth

Dust rises, cobwebs empty

Spring cleaning season

07/06/14

Flowers aplenty

Stand tall beside gifts and cards

Happy Birthday Mum!

08/06/14

Sunny summer day

Expert removes kitchen wall:

Demolition Dad.

(We now have a kitchen-diner...)

09/06/14

Innocuous block

Wheel spins, numbers multiply

How much do I weigh?!

10/06/14

Suddenly a pop

Abundance of dark water

Radiator leak

This happened to our bathroom radiator, thankfully whilst I was out!

11/06/14

Comfortable armchair

Daytime television show

A trip to Nanny’s

12/06/14

Softly lapping waves

Wash golden sand with shells

Wings spread, seagull soars

13/06/14

Humid miasma

Shoppers thirst for a bargain

Cold cola and ice

14/06/14

Overnight rainfall

Wilting plants lift drooped heads

And burst into bloom

15/06/14

Clouds drift across sky

Lawnmower drones distantly

Sunday afternoon

The last one is a definite snapshot of the day--a very lazy Sunday afternoon! 

I'm getting into the flow of writing haiku now, I think, though I still need to try harder. I have the rest of the month to improve!
