Did Juicebox have one
of those ugly nightmares?
So glad he has you.

Our only child left
Yesterday back to college,
Embracing the new.

Each stage of parent
Discovering a new child,
New relationship.

It is to wonder,
Seeing familiar as new;
Rediscovery.

Each day at this site
Visits awaken in me
Awareness of change.

Unseen friends posting,
Expose intimate feelings.
Filling me with hope.

Lug dumps cereal
on the kitchen counter top.
A pile tastes better.

Missus sews a mess
of fabric into a dress.
Wedding sometime soon.

Cereal piled up
beneath the kitchen bar stool.
Lug on the couch now.

by aquarium
hammer weighs heavy in hand
serene entropy

Crazy ass cold out
Was raking leaves earlier
Now a leaf blower

Might ease my back pain
But my hands are still bitchin’
A knuckle fell off

Least thats what I think
It might have been something else
But I haven’t checked

What lucky children.
Yes, they’ve seen hard times but they’ve
Felt a lot of love.

My first haiku here.
Hello! :o) I’m just so happy
That you are a group.

Next Mom. That’s really sweet. Congratulations to all of you. Love is grand. Now I know why there are so many songs written about it.
