Two efforts from me this week for Ronovan’s latest haiku challenge… One serious, one humorous… Hope you enjoy!
#1
To bend in the breeze,
Breathe deep; maybe that’s the key
To bridge tomorrows
#2
Caught cheating at Bridge
Can’t look neighbours in the eye…
It’s time to move house!

This is the blog of a woman who is seriously on the edge and I mean right ON the edge…no, not there… just a little bit further… further than that…no, further still…just a tiny bit more… just move slightly to the right a little…no, that’s too much…just move a tad to the left…that’s right, just there…now you’ve moved too far to the left… Damn, what part of the ‘on the edge’ do you not understand? Oh, and her matricidal boy genius, come devil spawn.

If you move the house here, you’ll have to teach me both bridge AND how to cheat at it…

Ha ha! It could make my commute to work a little long… although think of all the poems I’d write with a super-long commute to fill 🙂

Loved both pieces: #1 To breathe deep and let go is the only way. #2 The third line was so funny. A good morning laugh for me.

Thanks Olga. It all started with that third line in my head 🙂

It’s interesting that when I work on a haiku idea, it’s never the first line that comes to me. I usually work around the longer second line. Hmmm.

I guess it’s whatever works for you. I should try starting with the middle line to mix things up…

Enjoyed the contrast and how ‘key’ in the first maybe links with the second 🙂

Ah the last one reminds me of my husband getting a fine as he forgot to pay the toll on a bridge, the toll would only have been a few pounds, the fine was a lot more! Not a good idea. Still on the bright side we don’t have to move house…. Very nice haiku Al. 🙂

Thanks Marje. I remember once, many years ago, a friend’s Dad gave us both a lift home. He went too fast through a speed camera on the way, and grumbled about it being the “most expensive lift home he’d ever given”. I had to bite my lip to stop myself saying, “well, it’s hardly my fault that you were speeding!”

Yes, but people do think that way! They never want to take the blame themselves, it is always so much easier to blame someone else!
