The exercise:
Write two haiku about: Christmas presents.
Looking for a little something special for that writer in your life? Here's a list that you just might find helpful!
Back at the gym this morning. I make note of this strictly to ensure that you guys are aware of when I go, which then allows you to call my lazy butt out when too many days pass between trips to the weight room.
Mine:
Sorry, little one,
all your gifts are really for
Mom and Dad this year.

So this is Christmas,
my very first one. I love
these empty boxes!
I'd like the coffee from that list. All the coffee. Everyone's coffee, in fact :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the gym, and I shall look forward to calling you out for not going!
I think I like your first haiku better this week because it's so appropriate. I'm in the middle now of people deciding that only children need Christmas presents, and I completely agree with them. I have enough junk to house without getting more :)
Christmas presents
Shake, shake, crack, tinkle...
Your Christmas present is now
Not quite so pretty.

I thought hard for you,
Chose this very carefully:
It's a gift voucher.
No wrapping paper
ReplyDeleteJust be happy you got it
Dad is too lazy
I want that one and
That one and that one and that
One and that one and . . .
Such good intentions
ReplyDeleteFancy paper and a bow
Where is the receipt?
Greg - I thought you might :)
ReplyDeleteHah, nice job with the first one. Well, with both of them, really, but the first in particular.
David - haha, oh man. I read your first one while hearing my own voice in my head. Poor Max...
Anonymous - love it! I'm sure that sentiment will be repeated many, many times around the world this Christmas morning :)
