Never old, just fresh Like popping and locking Robot in Times Square   Pools and water slides Not a care in bad tan lines Weekend with the kids   Open at the close An HP weekend awaits Accio, Hedwig!   Sneetches star belly Raptors and Diagon Alley Make up go silly   Wearing long shorts when Riding a bicycle can Catch handlebars— CRASH!

Hugs and happiness Hold tight on fleeting moments We wish to stay in   It is cold in bed Mom freezes us with a/c Really have to pee   Bills, bills, bills, can’t pay One day I’ll scream and shout loud Money ain’t a thang!   Pictures on the wall Delight the eyes and the mind Like insides windows

Sweet scents you can smell Butterflies on the flowers Early morning day   Why is it so hot? Melting to my sticky chair Someone bring some ice!   (Haiku for you and crew:) Its Things 1 and 2! For the love of Dr. Seuss We shouted yahoo   Zigzag in Hana Can make you extremely sick See big waterfalls

Pink nails pink backpack Filled with books and heavy things Learn like a diva   Long hours on the road Through fields of ripe tomatoes Absolutely worth it!   You can’t bring most pets Congo left in a resort Thought it was prison   Sacrifice is key But don’t forget about me Balance life fully

How do you de-stress? Runs and jogs, never binging Who are you kidding?   Awesome midday nap I rest peacefully until A child starts to scream!   Driving on the 405 Oh, if I could, I would fly! Maybe even walk   Easily we let Today mimic yesterday Poison for the soul

All is on flowers Her true feeling can she tell? El Toro, the best!   Spectacular views Like to go to Dragon’s Teeth Volcanic rock made   No significance? Cause to pause… are you damn sure? PI pounds in brain

Running in circles Always running. Can’t stop. When will I catch a break?   Fierce boatman moving Mournful silver baskets shines Cunningly, they’re carved   Fly into the black Can you find another Earth? The cosmos is vast   The feisty dog barks So I feed him some popcorn Then he smiles and begs   Moves in ways useen Through numbers, taste, sound of soul Glory found; revealed

Cheese, flour, fruit, oil Parmesean blueberry scones Ha! Booyah Wolfgang.   Sushi is the bomb! Half off Sundays & Mondays Food poisoning sucks!   “Help! I am drowning!” Papa said while snorkeling, He’s wearing floaters.   Haleakala Is a mountain in Maui It beats Everest   I dropped my snow cone Dad yelled at me too harshly Tears sprung from my eyes

Feel like butterfly Yet an anchor still holds me Time to release doubt   You get some water We have to water the plants This soil is dry
