new squishy-soft carpet

Posted on by

It’s gotten way late here as usual so while it’s still today, here’s another haiku from my Haiku BooK for Mom. It’s about a time after 25 or 30 years dh and I had the whole house recarpeted with a great buy we found at a place called Remnants and Rolls that had lots of new left-over carpet for cut rates. We found some that we really liked that was just exactly enough to carpet the whole house plus I asked them to lay double padding:

new
squishy-soft
carpet —
walking
sinking
with tiny cat feet

seagull flown inland

Here’s today’s haiku, two versions.  It’s a rework of one from my Haiku Book for Mom:

seagull flown inland
drags wisps of foggy air
the scent
of fish and chips

seagull flown inland
drags wisps of salty air
the scent
of fish and chips

winter coats (2rev) + silent winter nights

(From a post at WE:  And wow; um; no, but it still reads about the way I meant, the beauty of all the colors being worn — it absolutely amazes me how two English speaking people, probably both as our native language, can use the same words and mean things so differently! Let me reword the haiku, first by what I think you meant for the word “lawn” and the second, a bit more clear (?) what I originally meant.)

swirling in soft cotton fabric —
new winter dresses!
reds and browns and golds

trying on new winter coats
the outside grass dresses in
reds and browns and golds

And here’s the haiku that I wanted to post yesterday on the first but the scrap of paper it was written on decided it would be more fun to hide until I found it today:

silent winter nights
with frosty ice cold kisses
December sneaks in
