Year of the Dragon –

I attend four exercise

classes in one week

by Kelly

hummingbird dashes

round my head, past my ankle —

I sip chardonnay

by Kelly

every morning she

thanks me for rescuing her –

so many kisses

In honor of Thanksgiving, we’re inviting readers to share haiku on the subject of gratitude.

Add your “gratitude” haiku as a comment. We enjoy 5-7-5, uncounted, nature themed and non-nature themed haiku, so don’t worry about the rules.  And there’s no time limit — today, tomorrow, next week — post your “gratitude” haiku!

I pull weeds until

I unhouse a toad. What have

I done? Winter looms.

by Alison

While Grandma visits

daughter asks amazed, “Was you

a little baby?”

by Alison

puppy tuckered out

kiddo in bed - we cuddle

into the quiet

by Kelly

dark clouds moving fast

mad momentum gathering —

the TV goes black

by Alison

talking about art

at the playground moms dream of

Michelangelo

.

Note: This haiku was definitely inspired by one of my favorite haiku in the book Cafe Haiku.

by Kelly

before loving me

he speaks softly to both dogs –

outside, winter thaws

by Alison

his back bent he works

the weekend and I realize

I complain too much
