The exercise:
Write two haiku about: the number six.
Happy, happy sixth birthday to Miles. We had pizza and cupcakes and are all looking forward to getting together with Kat's family and my sister and brother-in-law this Saturday to celebrate some more.
Happy Birthday Miles! Pizza and cupcakes sound like a pretty good birthday feast to me -- I don't think my parents ever did anything like that when I was a kid. Maybe a birthday cake, if I remember right, and sometimes you even got to choose what kind of cake but mostly... what they wanted. Now of course I avoid birthdays on account of them causing wrinkles and would probably have lasagne instead of cake so... I'd say things have improved :)

Vi is child six;
Is it short for Violet?
No, Roman numbers
Six is two times three,
Twice the luck! Yet six more kids
Does not feel lucky.
Greg - I always had cake growing up. Can't recall getting to choose the meal though.
ReplyDeleteQuite like your first. Your second is rather horrifying.
