National Poetry Month Still Day #5

Since last night’s response was instantaneous, how about some bonus haiku today?

First, from last night

Martini was good
My head falls back suddenly
Olives were tasty

– – – – – – – – – –

Not a new lesson
Drinks drunk too quickly hit hard
Rehydrate today

And then these from today:

Three Haiku for a Cold April Day

Sitting in the car
listening to the rain drops
outside my own house.

– – – – – – – – – –

The sound remembers
Summer camp, welcome rain days
A reason to nap.

– – – – – – – – – –

The not-quite frozen
Drops jelly-like, oozing down
The colder windshield.

Just before midnight
waiting for tomorrow’s prompt
to trigger new poems.

worst monday (ever)

All the way home I thought about what I would do when I got here. I have done none of it except post my poem of the day and add a link to the sidebar directly to all the National Poetry Month posts.

Things I didn’t do yet: Martini. Finish all that quilting. Fix my life.

Well then.

A martini first might affect all that quilting but what the heck. It might at least fix the headache from the day and from not eating “lunch” until 2.5 hours before my shift ended at 9.

I am most appreciative of all the nice people both co-workers and customers who were actually nice today. Not because you thought I needed you to be nice but just because you are. The rest of everyone else…. Well then.
