Haikuesday is neat I shall spread the joy and news! Will I get to eat?   Books are open now Pens, paper and erasers Summer is over   Red bean, lotus seed, Jujube paste, salted duck egg. Love me some mooncakes!   El Toro taco She plants for all the raccoons Because she loves them

Birds chirping you hear Flowers blooming all around What God given grace!   Cassatt’s paintings teach The triumph of motherhood Exists in mundane   Stacked pages, black ink In the middle a story Words bound together   What if you could just Up Down Left Right B A Start Reset part of life?

Confusion amuck Trapped in my spiraling thoughts Don’t know, what to do…   Shovel food in mouth Eating — Don’t care how it tastes I AM A CAVEMAN

Boat’s forty dollars To go to Molokini Snorkeling is fun   Mom and Dad didn’t go Gazed at each other instead Perhaps lovingly?   Young flowering buds Delicately unfolding Pining to blossom   Loss in youth to death Shakes our daily assumptions That life is infinite   Four day weekend here Brings me much needed good cheer Toast with wine not beer

School starting again I have class at 6pm What am I in for?   Won’t stop. Knock me down. Going to make it to the top Nothing can break me   Three day weekend, yay! Why aren’t 4 day work weeks A permanent affair?   Carousel goes round Round and round and round it goes Hope my luggage comes!

Bob’s song told me to ‘Don’t worry about a thing’ ‘Cause stress makes you sick   “You see that lobster?” A scorpion looked at it and said, “Whoa - mermaid.”   Cotton candy grapes What the heck did I just eat? Oh, crossbred hybrid   A day of labor Vacuum, swiffer, laundry, more For a clean new start!

Summertime sadness A/C equals my sore throat I  want some ice cream :-(   Flirt with hot doctor Notice own barium 'stache How unfortunate   Haven't hit the beach Haven't suntanned on my deck Need MOAR summer fun   Not loving to spend Sunlit mornings overwhelmed With insurance claims

Statistics training If p is low, Ho must go! Now I am confused   Fizzy vita drink Hurry! Work Emergen-C! Can’t get sick today   City of Angels Basking in the fragrant sun Don’t know why I moved   O New Amsterdam I love your people and food How I heart New York

Those bilious plumes; before them scatter grey flocks - Crossing the river   Kickoff this weekend! The season of handegg starts; Tears of joy or pain?   Three dogs on the way Plato, Oliver, Murphy Teddy loves to play!   Eat lots of shaved ice Flavored at Ululani’s Made from sugar cane
