summer haiku

Catching up on a random blog which asked for a summer haiku back on May 26th. Although I'm not telling her my haiku, I thought one up on the spot and decided to post. It's silly, but here it is.

today is too hot
the summer has come at last
gotta love AC

my Art is in the Verse

So I thought to myself "I miss writing poetry" and the lines just sort of came to me after 5 years of not writing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~

I want to be inspired
by a big lump of play-doh

squishing its ooey-gooey blueness
between my fingers

grabbing the yellow
and following the trend

What can I make?
What can I create?
What can I build?

I move on to my crayons and paper
A coloring book, this will be easy

nice and easy... there we go
that'll do it... Damn!
outside the lines

crumple the sheet and start anew

That didn't work
I Need something else
what can I try?

back to the trusty pencil and paper
write it down
the Adventure

I tried something new, but it never changes

pen or pencil
notebook or scrap paper

my Art is in the Verse
