More Haiku

I apologize for getting behind on the daily haiku postings. Here are more haiku sent in by our readers and customers.

Vera Schulte contributed these, and they all made me laugh:

Midnight baby wail.
In the dark, a spiny toy
crunches underfoot.

Mac and cheese - well, fine.
What my toddler really likes:
Gorgonzola cubes.

Papa out of town.
Baby calls the Great White North
"Ca-na-na-na-da".

Global warming's here.
Burning extra gas to make
Boulder beachfront house.

Inefficient work:
Two weeks of vacation is
plain uncivilized.

Office facetime rules!
Why not work from home though, while
boss reads fishing blogs?

Pearl Street fish tacos?
Bastardized to yuppie dish
At five times the price.

Haiku Challenge for April 15th

Uh-oh! Missed a few days! But don't worry. I've made up for it. Today is a 4 haiku day. :-)

Four days no haiku!
Where has the professor been?
Everyone needs rest

Glorious Boulder
City of dreams and visions
So glad I am here

Lunch at City Club
Safe place to share ideas
Smart people goodwill

People want to know
What age my toy store is for
No age police here!

Haiku Challenge for April 9th

Glorious April
Happy to be alive now
To see spring again

Haiku Challenge for April 8th

My parakeet Einstein
Cries when he can't see my face
So nice to be loved

Winter's hand is still
Holding us up against her
Helping us love spring

A haiku a day
Isn't really very hard
Just seventeen sounds
