Anniversary mothery sunday haiku
Sunday, May 13th, 2007“Made up holiday,
Moms kick ass but I don’t like
Buying greeting cards.”
A year of haiku
started Mothers Day ‘06
pat myself on back
Times are a’changin’
But you already know that
One trip round the sun
“mother” means more now
Insight comes at a high price
More valuable
I bow to the moms
Tip my hat and wink my eye
No greeting cards, tho
—
Last night at bedtime
When I tucked them in, we talked
We spoke of Mommy
I said “She holds you
with hands that you can not feel
and cradles your head”
“She whispers her love
With words you can’t hear with ears
But can with your heart”
“Mothers Day is yours
Because you are what’s left, boys
Your mom is of you”
“She is always there
When you’re happy, when you hurt
She loves you so much”
The boys went to sleep
I think they can feel BJ
Theres comfort in that
I take comfort too
Even if I don’t feel her
She is their mother
