Haiku thread

[MaBellOnDaLoose]

Marching splendidly
Patrolling the room-kingdom
I leave it to stomp

A mumsnet salad
must contain naice Waitrose ham
and cutted-up pear
@DilemmaDelilah

@SurvivorsInc

You are right of course!
How could I forget naice ham
and cutted up pear

I dream of flying
Soaring high above the clouds
so effortless

Bread

Baguettes, ciabatta
Rolls, stotties, barm cakes, bread buns
Loaves, sliced or unsliced

Bread, the staff of life
Eaten throughout the whole world
In some sort of form

Bubble baths

I apologise
for taking over this thread
I will shut up now

Really no need at
all DilemmaDelilah
to apologise!

cinema

I actually have
a bubble bath every night
Neal’s Yard is the best

cinema

The last film I saw
Was Barbie at a Cineworld
But I was quite bored

Animals

I like dogs and cats
But cats are my favourite
Crazy cat woman

Shampoo

Dog is itching bad
She really does not like flea
Repellent shampoo

Flutter

Early morning gym
Did flutters in my workout
Flapping arms, legs bent

Shopping

Every Saturday
I go to the retail park
TKMaxx, Boots, Next

soap

A strange alchemy
Oils and caustic soda blend
Into soothing bubbles.

Giving out leaflets
About single sex spaces
Women’s rights matter

Home

Cold out, warm within.
Comfortable, familiar
Family connections

The shared memories,
In jokes and made up language.
Unique and just ours.

Children's stories

Magic opens up.
Turn the leaves (wisha wisha)
Ripen growing minds.

Cold weather.

I can see my breath
Morning frost glitters on grass
Hat, gloves and scarf time.

Dreams.

We are such stuff as
dreams are made on, and our lives
Are rounded with sleep.

(With apologies to WS!)

Nightmares

Dreamt of ex husband
Nightmarish horror story
Horrid awful man

Teeth

Chomp chomp chomp chomp chomp
Brush rinse floss brush rinse floss brush
Chomp chomp chomp chomp chomp

Flowers

When the human mind
Is nourished and cherished it
Puts forth. Resplendent.

Eyes

I watched her watching
a small bird in the fir tree -
"Is that the goldcrest!?"

Frost

Sorry, me again
feeling sorry for myself
I'm hospitalised

Heart is playing up
all treatment unsuccessful
so far, next zapping

Cardioversion
is the right term but zapping
is what DH says

Waiting for the doc
nil by mouth, anaesthetic
is necessary

looking forward to
going home later as no
Sleep last night. Noisy!

heart rate one twenty
Since Sunday morning and I'm
very tired indeed
