More Housewife Haiku. ‘Cos, You Know, Why Not?
God’s in the details;
Or the devil is. Of that
I never was sure.
*
An open mind is good;
But if it’s opened too much
Reason will fall out.

Dave, me, our laptops
Email sofa to sofa;
A modern marriage.

I have a headache;
Dave’s beloved patterned rug
Is not helping it

The haiku is one
Of those things that is just one
Of those things. You do.
I like them all right
But I’m never sure about
If I’ve done it right.
Apparently you
Should include seasons and stuff
Plants and stuff, I think.
The only bit I
Ever got was the counting
Bit. I like to count.

Me too for the counting bit. If there’s numbers involved in something it makes me feel like I’m doing proper work, rather than just faffing about. The having to count makes it seem somehow more worthwhile.
I’d read about the seasons things too, but I was hoping nobody would notice. An’ if it ‘adn’t been for you pesky kids, Oi’da gorren away wiv it too!

Of course Clare would get
The haiku counting thingy
She’s a number nut.
For the rest of us
Furtively counting fingers
It’s rather a pain.
But it’s a Zen thing.
Not even cherry blossom
Escapes destiny.
