A Haiku

Haikus are so short. Who could write just one of them? Here are some haikus:

Writing a Haiku, part 1

Writing a haiku?

This is what you need to do:

five, seven, five...done!

Writing a Haiku, part 2

"Five, seven, five" what?

Oh, I forgot to tell you;

They are syllables.

Writing a Haiku, part 3

Five on the first line,

Seven on the second line,

and five on the last.

Marriage Tonight and Other Nights

Sitting on the couch,

we're watching HGTV-   

House Hunters is on.

(*I wasn't sure if "we're" had one syllable or two- but according to howmanysyllables.com, it's one.)

Flannel

Jesse's shirt of choice

Plaid and warm and button up

He looks good to me.

Autumn

Not just a season

but it's the name of our dog-

Autumn the dog Weiss.

In, out, in out, in repeat- our dog at nighttime

She sits by the door

She's wanting out of the house,

She wants in again.

Inspiration

Just looking at stuff

all around me, from the couch-

poetry inspired.
