The exercise:
Two haiku dealing with one or both of: dirtiness / cleanliness.
Today was a day of weeding, which was good. Back to harvesting tomorrow morning, as the restaurant has placed a very large order this week. We probably won't be able to fill it completely, but we ought to be close.
And yes, my first one is based on something that happened this evening.
Mine:
Weeding on all fours.

Sterile surfaces
Cover each inch of my house,
But it's not a home
It sounds like you might yet have to expand your planting for next year with all these sales and large orders coming in! How does the job title of 'farmer' suit you then?
ReplyDeleteI like your first haiku for the amusement value, and the second one for its last line.
Dirtiness/Cleanliness
We disinfect you
When you come through the front door.
You don't visit much.

Just a little dirt

I scrub and scour the scum.

Greg - I'm a farmer and proud of it :)
ReplyDeleteAnd no expanding the damned garden - it's barely manageable for the two of us at its current size!
Love your first haiku :)
Nicole - thank you very much!
Maddy - great takes on the prompt. I particularly liked your first one.
Brittany - very nicely done, you used some great imagery in both of your haiku.
I clean it everyday but I can't touch it, I don't know why. Maybe my hands are to dirty?

Nevertheless, she is a clean fanatic herself but the thing is I don't know what it is.
