haiku, anyone?

pained by this kicking
well deserved, but not from you
dear child within, quit.

Anyone ever written haiku? It's pretty simple, just a 5-7-5 syllabic pattern in the lines. I think I had to write some in high school - or maybe in college. I can't remember.

Will you write one for me in the comment section? Pretty please?

I'll pick a winner, really I will. There might even be a prize. Think of it as a "Happy Memorial Day Weekend" activity. A vacation for your brain. It won't even cost you any gas money. Unless, perish the thought, you are reading this blog while driving.

The season is spring
I just saw my new baby
He wiggles a lot!

Thanks for the challenge..I read the rules and enjoyed telling you about my ultrasound today!

Karen said...

My hips, killing me.
My back, very painful too.
Oh, pregnancy joys!

There wasn't anything in there about having to be pregnant to do this exercise, was there? :)

Jenny said...

Just to clarify - NO you don't have to be pregnant to participate! :-)

Thanks, ladies, these are great! Keep 'em coming!!

Kara said...

My bladder feels full
But I just used the restroom
How can this make sense?

(11 weeks and counting...)

Planting my garden

You are in there still.
Come out and meet your brother
He wants to play now.

How fun! All I can think of right now is being pregnant and getting this baby to come OUT!!!! :)

can't have our own kids
my aching arms are empty
Lord, please fill them soon

Karen said...

For what it's worth, my vote goes to Sandra. And I'm praying for her tonight as well. Makes me feel horrible for complaining.

The Two of Us said...

I really wasn't trying for the sympathy vote (but thanks anyway, Karen). I just kept reading all the pregnancy haikus and that was all I could come up with.

Thanks for your prayers. God is still good even if He never gives us a baby, but my heart certainly does ache for one.

Sandra: I hope the Lord leads you to adopt a child and comforts you until He fulfills your desires.

Here's my very non-pregnant haiku:

memory, today
shiny sun and crowded zoo
you smile at the snake

the house is quiet,
the oven cooking chicken.

It's been a long day
It is time to go to bed
Why do I stay up?



Love you lots, Mom Muth
