I’m f***ing pissed off.

Can’t he stop networking for

5 minutes to help?

Really. Bills pile up.

The house grows messy. Xmas

flights still not arranged.

.

How can one be great

if one can’t handle the job

of the everyday?

I realize this is

NOT haiku in SPIRIT but….

his love feeding off of mine -

Indian summer

and opposites disagree -

cool wind, bitter words

by Alison

Sun glistens on waves

while we sip local brews-

*Date night’s a success!

neighborhood children

biking in 9 p.m. sun —

at home we bicker

by Kelly

cancer moon rising —

meanwhile a man and woman

grill dinner for two

He Says

“Learn how to listen

to your husband and your life

will be easier.”

She Says

“Whatever!” — Insert

enormous eye roll worthy

of twelve-year-old girl.

loose embrace -

I look up at the fan

and spin

by Alison

I miss him

and he misses me -

double happiness

by Kelly

we lie together

shaped like an “S” — cotton seed

drifts by our window
