Toddler Haiku (or is that KuHai?)
Published by Allison July 6th, 2006 in Amuse Me, Annoy Me, Motherhood(Cross-posted from MM. Groan away.)
Update: I’m embarassed to admit it took me two days to realize I’d written all of this BACKWARD structurally — 7/5/7 instead of 5/7/5. Does that make it KuHai?
Back in my room — woe is me!
My 3am offense?
An obstacle course is mom.
Sharp toes dig into her thighs.
Clip, clip! Tomorrow.
She’s waited long enough now.
A contant stream of babble
Flows from my sweet lips
She covers her ears, oh why?
There’s more (bad poetry) where that came from. I have no idea why haiku seemed an apprpriate way to pass the time until she finally complained herself to sleep back in her room.
What amazes me is that I believe she crawled all over me, carrying on her monologue, for perhaps 30 minutes before I realized what time it was. Since she normally wakes me this way, I initially assumed it was at least 6:30am, maybe even 7…and just stormy outside. Uh…no.

I love haikus; I think yours are great, because they tell a story.
I was going to comment on them over on Maya’s page, but for some reason, it wouldn’t let me.
Hmmm…wonder why?
Believe it or not, you and the Pete are probably my inspiration. I came across the thread on another blog where the blog owner was comment-whoring, and laughed for a good half hour.
