Haiku #18

-its the small things..

Blatant disrespect

You can't believe that guy's nerve

Stole your parking spot

Haiku #17

-just telling it like it is..

Spoken hastily,

blurted out and regretted.

You're impetuous.

.

Haiku #16

-it takes heavy duty equipment to get the job done, all 1/10th of an acre..

Unmistakable

green, with flag and cup holders.

Your John Deere tractor.

Haiku #15

- the sweet thrill of having the world at you finger tips..

The master of all.

Complete control in your hands.

Don't hog the clicker.

.

Haiku #14

- even as we age, we continue to grow in so many new directions..

A daily struggle

trying to make two ends meet.

Your pants did not shrink.

Haiku #13

- i think the word you are looking for is 'chartreuse'..

A stunning green hue

peppered with bobbing black dots.

The pool needs cleaning.

Haiku #12

-a deep internal fire that burns, longing for relief or Tums..

Hollow-eyed, aching-

awake with a burning pain.

Heartburn in the night.

.

Haiku #11

- you really can't teach an old dog new tricks..

Unsteady, comical -

nearly ends in injury.

Old guy on skateboard.

.

Haiku #9 and #10

- in honor of the 4th of July and to prove that I don't always nag..

Deep pink crustaceans

sizzling in their spiced shells.

Your famous grilled shrimp

The dazzling light

of a million sparks shines.

Break out the sparklers!

.

Haiku #8

- the distant sound of a train far off in the night is soothing or NOT..

A freight train rumbles

robbing me of sleepy dreams.

Wake up. Stop snoring!

Haiku #7

- a truly perfect collection of anything doesn't come cheap..

Music fills your soul

and our home, depleting us.

Stop buying I-tunes!

.

Haiku #6

- when it rains, it pours or something..

Big splashing drops of

liquid sky fall to the floor.

The roof is leaking.

Haiku #5

-while you're still making a joyful yard and crap..

Rustling branches scrape

raspy tunes on the windows.

Please, trim the bushes.

Haiku #4

- a well kept yard is a joy to behold AND it keeps the homeowner's association away..

Too tall, swaying blades

in the summer's blazing sun.

Fire up the mower.

.

Haiku #3

- I know what you are doing..

A thick, cloying smell

that weaves its way into all.

Don't smoke in my car.

.

Haiku #2

- it's almost Friday night, a time to unwind and reflect upon the week's work.

Amber liquid flows

freely over crystal cubes.

It ain't apple juice.

.

Haiku #1

- the socks that started it all.

Rudely discarded,
used and soiled, awaiting your touch-
Dirty socks on floor
